Nature vs Nurture
Human behavior is based upon Nurture, how you’re taught or learn as you go. I don’t believe anyone is born a certain way. I believe you’re taught how to act/behave as you go/grow. People are affected by others and how they see them behave which makes them think they should behave that way too. Even if someone else doesn’t think someone should behave that way it’s what you learned to do based on your surroundings. If someone has taught you to always be afraid, whether it’s fear of something/someone or doing something that seems scary then you’ll continue to be afraid, ‘Because of you I am afraid”. Certain things people do that might not be right may seem right to someone because …show more content…
These kids start to become uncivilized and savage because they’re stuck in an uncivilized environment. For example Piggy has no confidence because of how he has been treated on the island and back home. One of the main proving points for that is the fact that he’s called piggy because of how he looks. These kids have lost their sense of reality because of the fear that came with their surroundings. They had so much fear of a so called beast that they couldn’t see that there was no beast it was just their own fears that were scaring them. This is proved by how they killed Simon because their sense of reality was so gone that they couldn’t see that it was him and not the beast. Another example is how Jack was so ready to kill that the others just followed and done the same. They thought because he was doing it that it was okay.

People who have friends who are mean to others tend to start being mean too, because they’re seeing others act this was, mainly those who they’re usually surrounded by. My cousins would always use to act out or misbehave because they wasn’t being taught to behave right so they didn’t. Later on when my cousins started acting right and not misbehaving because they started learning how to act and how not to act and were punished when they didn’t so it taught them not to misbehave. I’ve seen people who use to be really happy and usually laughing become sad and quiet because there were people who wasn’t nice to them so they stopped being so happy. People don’t understand how one thing they say to someone can affect their behavior and change how they act because of what they heard from those surrounding them. The nicest people can become the meanest when they’re taught to be that way by their surroundings and situations they’re put in.
So with all this evidence it seems like behavior is Nurture based. We are who and what we are surrounded by. Our behavior and how we act revolves around what we are taught and experience. Behavior is something we are taught, that we learn not what we are born with even though some might disagree. No one is born civil or uncivil it’s something that we are taught, no one is born nice or mean it’s something we learn as we go.
