Week Four
The Nature Vs. Nurture debate is about which particular aspect of how our behaviors are a product of either Inherited or acquired characteristics. The nature part of the debate is if behavior is inherited from a parent, and the nurture is if the environmental influences after conception. I think that my side of the debate would be the nurture aspect because of the differences between my mom and myself. My mother and I are two different people. She is more or a morning person and I’m more of a night person. Also she’s more of an angry person, and I think that I am a very nice and caring person. I think that because of the people that I would hang out with, and the type of high school that I went too.

Hi Samantha,
ReplyDeleteWould you say that you are a nice and caring person because you feel your mother is an angry person? Do you feel like you were born opposite of her, or do you feel like you developed opposite of her?
I think the nature/nurture debate is very interesting as people can always wonder about how and why people develop the way they do, similar to the debate, "What came first, the chicken or the egg?"
Personally, I believe both nature and nurture affect a person and their socialization.
