Do you think people should have special privileges because of their disability?” I don’t think they really have an advantage over others, the things they get assistance from just helps them be as independent as they can be and to a more positive attitude towards life.

There are both internal and external causes to our actions. Internal causes are the genes contained within our DNA. External causes are the influences from the environment, being economical, political and religious. Genetics may have a powerful influence on how we respond. In 2002 scientists found evidence that a particular gene predisposed children towards bad behaviour and they concluded that children who were abused and had the gene were more likely to go on to abuse others.

Every clinician must decide which theory best aligns with his or her own views and apply as necessary. In many cases, a combination of several theories offers the best explanation. Whether one believes that nature has more influence on personality and behavior or believes nurture offers the best explanation, the debate will continue. Dave Pelzer offers one example of an individual who possessed the inner strength to overcome his early, horrific, and violent exposure to life.

Nature vs. Nurture Your eye color, straight or curly hair, height and pigment of skin are all inherited and a part of our genes. However is the way we act? The question of “are we born bad or made bad” has caused quite a controversy for years. Researchers have been studying if it is nature or nurture that makes us who we are. In other words, are we born to be a certain way or are we shaped by external influences such as parents, friends, and social expectations.

Hill Western Governors University Nature vs Nurture: Two Studies Almost since the beginning of time, humans have tried to figure out why we are the way we are. Are our traits the result of our genetics, or our living situation? This question is the crux of the raging debate called “nature versus nurture.” The nature vs. nurture debate is all about determining whether we are shaped more by heredity or environment, and it has been applied to everything from intelligence to disease processes to sexual orientation. Proponents of the nature theory believe that we are destined have certain qualities because they are pre-programmed into our DNA, while supporters of the nurture theory believe that we learn our
