The nature-nurture debate is all about whether genetics (nature) or our environment (nurture) is responsible for our behaviour and development. Early theorists believed that our personality, intellect, behaviour and gender role were determined by our genes and therefore could not be changed. But an increasing amount of evidence has proved these theorists wrong, and our development as an individual is learnt through the environment we live in. One developmental stage of an individual that psychologists have the nature-nurture debate about is the intelligence stage. The nature side of that intelligence is present at birth and we already have a set amount of intelligence.
Running Head: NATURE VS. NURTURE-THE GREAT DEBATE 1 Nature vs. Nurture: The Great Debate Jeffery Gray, RN Western Governors University September 2014 NATURE VS. NURTURE: THE GREATE DEBATE 2 Abstract Describe the basic elements of the nature-nurture controversy. There are two different rationales for the origin, cause, or source of human behavior. Researchers and Scientists alike suggest that behavior is either the result of nature or nurture. Nature suggests that human behavior is the result of a genetic disposition, in other words, an individual’s behavior exists at birth, it is innate, they are born with the behavior inside of them. However, nurture suggests that an individual’s behavior is learned, it is the result or by-product of the environment in which the individual was reared or existed.
The nature debate, which believes that an individual’s behaviors are determined by their genetic makeup, passed on from parents to their children through DNA. It is a theory chosen by the biological and the mental approaches and is also backed up by the Darwin’s theory, in the aspect that if a child, for example, was aggressive from a young age; biological psychologists would argue that this is because of our evolutionary cycle and that we have developed violent behaviors
What specific strategies would you recommend, and how would you promote them at Premier? I think that the primary issue with work/life balance at Premier Publishing is the ability to have a more flexible work schedule and to work from home. Every former Cybooks employee that we have heard from has had the same concern. This gives them a negative image of Premier because they think that the company does not trust its employees. Premier needs to realize that by moving into the technology segment, they are acquiring a new breed of employees, how crave the ability to have creative freedom, which means that they need to be able to work at the times that are most suitable for them.
The way you tell someone to do something, may be ok to one person, but it could be offensive, or threatening to another. When you offend that person, it is then when you have to be the bigger person and fix things. If not, the work place will not be very comfortable to work in for the both of you and it could effect the people around you, too. Another example in this area would be how you spend your time. Time management is very important in all aspects of life.
It has made me a strong person, it has helped me overcome negative people, and it has made me prepare for future challenges. When I pregnant with my daughter Carolina, who’s now 12years old, I was told that it would be a risky pregnancy because the baby was breach and was having a hard time breathing inside my body. For this reason, I had to have a C-section immediately since the baby would have choked on the umbilical cord. I was in a lot of pain after the operation and I was very mad that I couldn’t have a natural childbirth, but as a mother, I did what had to be done to have a healthy child. The second moment in my life where I faced difficulty- was in my marriage.
27/10/2011 Evaluate the view that human behaviour is largely cultural Society is not so much established by conquest as by collusion (Berger.P.1967) Munford khan defines the concept of self as ‘denoting the core of the personality system organised around its awareness of itself and its conscious and unconscious towards its most virtual interests and values, involving identity, status, commitment and desire. Society today is so different to sometime ago. It was more or less written in stone that women were the child bearing home carers, and the men were the bread winners. Some of the early sociologists believed that our gender was inherited through our genes. Feminists argued that these findings were all down to men carrying out experiments on men.
Essay: describe and explain (from the video) how nature (inherited instinct biology/genes) and nurture (environment or upbringing (how are you treated/taught)) can affect a child’s development. In order to answer the focus question, we would need to understand the terms used. Nature describes the basic skills that are “hardwired” into our brains such as what a baby can do when it is born. A deeper understanding of the term would lead to a debate on the theory of evolution as, if a creature could be born knowing certain things such as speech already without being taught, that would have to be a form of evolution and then nurture would become nature. The term nurture refers to the way a child or adult was raised and the effect it had on their personality, such as a person’s language.
BEING A GOOD PARENT Parenting can be a source of tremendous pleasure over a lifespan.But, it's also a time-consuming and a difficult job for parents.
