Nature Vs. Nurture

The Nature Vs. Nurture debate is about what aspects a child has and if it is inherited from the parents or if they learned it as they grew up. Nature is considered what the child inherits from the parents and nurture is considered by the effect of the external things in life. This debate that has been going for many years was thought to come to a conclusion but recent studies show that almost everything comes from genetics.

Examples:

Intelligence

  • Nature: Some people believe that the ability to achieve greatness and do well in school comes from the intelligence of ones parent. 
  • Nurture: Other people believe what the Childs educational background is and how the child is raised influences the Childs intelligence.

Athletic Ability
  • Nature: Some people believe that certain genes are inherited by the child to show their athletic ability. 
  • Nurture: This is believed that athletes train to excel at the sport that they compete in.

Music Ability

  • Nature: Like athletic ability it is believed that some children inherit the talent to be musically gifted. 
  • Nurture: When a child must practice music consistently to be good.

Personality: 

  • Nature: The way that the child acts they inherit from the parent. 
  • Nurture: The child acts total different due to the way that they grew up and what they learned from others.

Sexuality: 

  • Nature: Some people believe that the way someone loves is inherited from their parents. 
  • Nurture: Other believe that people have a choice. 

Final thoughts: 

In my opinion it depends on the traits and abilities that the child inherits. While the physical attributes like eye color and hair color come from the parents the personalities of a child come from where they are from and how they are raised. I believe that everyone is different but also they determine themselves on everything they do.

    Hayden, this is such an interesting blog post, I really did enjoy reading it and really enjoyed looking at all of the pictures you put with the blog post. I totally see the point you made about the athletic ability that is inherited or just practiced. Some people seem to really have an advantage when it comes to things like their height and hand size that they have.

    Hello Hayden, this blog was very interesting to me. I enjoyed reading this and it reminded me a lot of my blog. I see your point that you made with inheriting athletic ability and some don't have physical features as some have skill.

Final post

Ending my first year as a college student was interesting. But even with that said I learned a lot about psychology. From this semester I learned how the brain works and psychological disorders. Our first lesson was over brain and behavior. In a Ted talk a scientist talked about how the brain works. I found it interesting that a neuroscientist helped design a exoskeleton suit that helped a paralyzed man kick the first ball at the 2014 World Cup. I also learned about sensation. This involved our 5 senses that we use to be aware of our surroundings and adapt to what is happening. In week 5 we learned about a development of a child. The biggest thing that stuck out to me was the nature vs nurture debate. After that lesson we learned about memory and learning. The studying of memory has blown scientist minds away when they study and look at the brain. Scientist have studied how we receive information and translate that into our memory bank. In module 5 we learned about motivations and em...

Gratitude Visit

I wrote a letter to my youth ministers that are leaving the church that I grew up at and taught me all the years I was in the youth group. Here is the letter. Dear John and Crysty,      There are not enough thank you's I could say to the both of y'all for how much y'all did for me and the others in the youth group as I grew up. I still remember my first Sunday class I ever had in the youth group. John made me stand up and say my name and who was my favorite super hero and of course I was going to say Batman because I knew who was asking me the question. Some of my favorite memories growing up were from youth group events. From Pine Springs, The Houston Mission trip, or even Guatemala. I am still so thankful that I got to experience Guatemala and it wouldn't have been without John and my Dad basically forcing me to go. I learned so many lessons from that trip that I still think about as I write this letter to y'all.      I want to say thank you ...
