caused by nature or nurture. Meaning are the traits caused by genetics or caused by the environment that one lives in. There have been a number of studies done on individuals in order for researchers to find whether individual’s traits are brought about due to nature or nurture.

The nature and nurture of a person varies depending on genetics and the environment that the person is surrounded by. Everyone is different in their own way and each person reacts differently based on the situation that they may be in.

Nature is defined by Spencer A. Rathus on page 56 as the inborn, innate character of

Nature and nurture are different in many ways, but they both influence behavior. The way I like to differentiate them is you are born with one and the other is a trait you learn. Both are part of our everyday lives, they just might come at different stages. Nature is the hair color, eye color, and skin color I was born with. It is me being 5’8 and right handed because it runs in my family. On my dad’s side of the family, twins skip a generation and that is why I am a twin. Nature is growing

Are they a republican or democrat? Do they go to church? Most likely, if they are republicans, you are too. If they go to church every Sunday, you do too. Our parents have perhaps the most impact on our lives, because they

Nature vs. Nurture When looking at the nature and nurture debate, overall, I believe that our thoughts, behaviors, and emotions as humans are more strongly influenced by our environment, or nurtured. However, looking from the other point of view, that they are influenced by nature is also very plausible. In general, the reason that the nurtured makes most sense to me, is that the environment everyone grows up in (which is what influences us, obviously,) is so varied from person to person. What

That played a significant role in sculpting my person as it is today. On the other hand, I believe that nature also had a great effect on who I am now. There are people that would
