Abstract Nature and nurture debate has become a big issue tackled since long decades up to present times because of many factors contributed to human development either through inherited genes or environment influences. In fact, after many researches and studies all conclude that we as human being are the product of not only of genes inheritance but by our environment factors as well. In the article "nature, nurture: not mutually exclusive” the psychologist, Robert Plomin, demonstrates that most human behaviors are directed by nature and nurture, he considers them to be two sides of one coin , and added that each participates a partial role in designing human behaviors and experiences. Accordingly, in his book Psychology, David G. Meyers states " our genetic predisposition help explain both our shared human nature and human diversity.” Besides, genes influence not only the behavior but the environment as well as , Thomas Bouchard in the article “Nature, nurture: not mutually exclusive” Says “twins and adoption studies have established that most traits and behaviors are partially influenced by genes”. He wanted to clarify that a solid interaction is cemented between nature and nurture when genetic factors affect the person's behavior, attitudes, experience and his life expectations as well.
1If a mother has the gene for it, her daughter might also. In that sense, it can be said that twins run in the family, but on the mother's side only. Fathers don't ovulate, so they don't impact twinning
s Family and friends should remember that CF is not contagious; nobody can get it from a patient. s In families with CF, brothers, sisters, and first cousins of the CF patient should be tested to see if they carry a defective gene, especially if they seem to have a chronic lung or digestive problem. Carriers of the abnormal gene should get genetic counseling. s Individuals with CF have normal sexual development and can expect to have a normal sex life. However, most, but not all, men are infertile because of a mechanical blockage of sperm and cannot have children.
When talking about homosexual vs. heterosexual unions, they are comparable in all ways; however, legalizing them together would cause irrevocable damage to our already weak view of the institution of marriage. Our young generation is in a time where they are being told how to speak and sometimes think, and societal indifference to gay marriage would further confuse our youths who already find their sexuality hard. It is very important that we continue to take strides toward accepting homosexual unions; however, legalizing gay marriage is not a necessary step for that to
I was unable to describe to Mary that her father will no longer into the room and pick her up or even tell her stories at bedtime. I also urged her brother, Edward Jr. to not try to mention it to her, but support and take care of her as best as he can. Mary was growing up and meanwhile this whole time I was telling her stories of her father and everything that happened between him and me inclusive the part with Bertha and how she burned the house down. Edward Jr. looks a younger version of his father, finally happy and married to a wonderful wife who is expecting her first son within this year. Mary enjoys going out with her friends to parties and even brings my cousin’s daughters with her.
I believe that we are a beautifully crafted puzzle of genetic inheritance; however, I also believe that nurture plays a major role in a person life. How our mother took care of herself while we were just a fetus all the way to friends that we choose as we grow up. Nature and nurture intertwine with one another and should be valued as a beautiful mixture of the humans capacity not controversy to be born with instant behaviors such as an infant suckling from its mother, to the toddler copying every move that mommy and daddy make. This is the perfect example of nature and nurture at play. Nature and nurture, to me, are one in itself.
M1-Discuss the nature-nurture debate in relation to the development of an individual In this assignment there will be discussion of my celebrity’s development and how nature which is one of my keywords which mean what my celebrity was born with and nurture which is something that they have devolved overtime perhaps due to their surroundings or from the people they became friends with. I will be discussing how nature and nurture effected the development of my celebrity Malcolm X and how it linked to his successful career. Malcolm X was a unique child in his family of six children as he was the only one in the family that since such a young age that developed a sincere love for politics and law. He grew up in Omaha America in 1925 where there was a very strong racial apposition towards different coloured races. Malcolm had picked up on this from the wide propaganda shared by the
As far as the home health business I was brought up around I contribute my need to help others, and my sense of compassion to my parents instilling these values in me at a young age. I am not certain whether Nature or Nurture take precedence over my development. I simply feel that each play a significant role in my life, and furthermore I feel that these factors continue to impact who I am. As I continue to mature I continue to rely on both Nature and Nurture to assist in becoming who I want to be. I realize that I am careful making choices based on my genetic background, and equally consider knowledge I have gained from society when making decisions.
That made her love Nicky very strongly, and she accepted he did a lot of things that the three older sons never were allowed to. Nicky was spoiled, and sometimes he acted like he has known he was meant to be a girl: “I think Nicky must have known he was meant to have been a girl because when he grew up all his emphasis was in the other direction. More than any of his brothers, he was indulged like none of his brothers had been – his mother’s favourite despite, or because of not being a girl” (l. 12 to l.18). After Nicky’s death in a young age, Nicky’s parents have to make difficult decisions, and it becomes clear that the mother is the strongest of them – mentally. The father, Frank Randall, does not have the strength to step forward and say what he thinks they should do with his sons heart: “Twenty-five years of being in charge of 400 acres and all that lived on it, generations of Randalls ruling the roost, of which he was the latest heir, hadn’t made him capable at that moment of being the one to step forward and speak” (l.122 to l.125).
The nurture part of it is that we are who we are because of the way that we are raised and the type of environment we are raised in. Also, there are some people that think that it is both Nature and Nurture that make you who you are, meaning it is a mix of both what you are born with and the traits you get from the environment you grow up in. Scientist have known for years that your hair color, eye color, body size, etc. Are determined by what you inherit from your parents. They can answer those questions, but why can’t they come up with an answer for Nature vs. Nurture?
