By conducting the twin studies at Auschwitz‚ Mengele hoped to discover and harness the secrets of heredity‚ but he failed in his goal because of his misguided understanding of genetics. Since he was a juvenile‚ Mengele strove to flourish‚ wanting to be superior to his father. He wanted to become surpassed‚ he wanted to be recognized.

I believe in most cases that nature forms your personality. It is true that some twins have many differences‚ but they have also not paid attention to their similarities. The fact is that

Observing identical twin seems like a sound way to end this debate‚ considering the twins have the same genes‚ if they grow up and form the same traits‚ the Nature side wins‚ If they grow up radically different or just noticeable different‚ you would say nurture wins. This test works even best if say‚ the identical twins are dramatically seperated at birth‚ never to see each other ever again until 40 years laters

influence our behavior. Either way‚ social scientists have been struggling for centuries deciding whether our personalities are born or made. Tests are done often on identical twins that were separated to see how they are each influenced by their separate environments. When identical twins are separated at birth and grow up to have identical tastes is that an argument that it has more to do with nature than nurture?

This is the probability that if one twin has the disorder‚ the other twin will also have it. Monozygotic (MZ) twins share 100% of their genes and dizygotic (DZ) twins share about 50%. Gottesman (1991) summarised 40 twin studies and found that the concordance rate for MZ twins was 48% and the concordance rate for DZ twins was about 17%. Concordance rates

why people commit crimes. The two main explanations lie in genetic and environmental factors‚ which relates to the nature and nurture debate. Studies have been carried out to explain criminal behavior. Some suggest that criminals are born; these are twin and adoption studies. On the other hand there are also studies that have been conducted to prove that criminals are made by society; these include the social learning theory and labeling behavior. These are examples I will use to support both sides
