There has been numerous discussions on the nature vs. nurture topic. One side says that nature‚ or genes‚ are responsible for developing children the way that they are‚ while another side says that nurture‚ the environment‚ is responsible. Regardless‚ nurture is the main cause for “monsters” and their behavior because our peers and family help shape our personality‚ interests‚ behavior‚ and how we act. One of the most important reasons why nurture is responsible for making “monsters” is that humans

familiar with the nature versus nurture debate and the different factors that must be considered when picking a “side”. In the case of Michael Oher‚ a young boy growing up in the ghetto of Memphis‚ Tennessee‚ it was quite clear which side he needed and benefited from.

In the case of Michael‚ nurture was necessary to his overall success

Nature VS Nurture The argument between nature and nurture has been controversial since the thirteen century. In the thirteen century‚ scientists thought nurture was the main cause at committing crime. However‚ by the fast-growing understanding of the human genome‚ some scientists found that both nature and nurture are partly right in the analysis of committing crime.

result of already-present biological factors‚ such as genetic code. On the other hand‚ someone looking at it from a nurture perspective would argue that these processes are acquired through interaction with the environment. Nurtured human behavior is seen as the result of environmental interaction‚ which can provoke changes in brain structure and chemistry.

Nature vs. Nurture by Art Spiegelman I enjoy the work of Art Spiegelman. Spiegelman uses the playful medium of comic books in order to communicate his thoughts and feeling on more serious topics. He is the only person to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for a comic book. In Nature vs. Nurture Spiegelman explores the issue of gender and how much influence a parent has‚ (nurture)‚ over what is innate with a child.

is the question of nature versus nurture. Dating back to Locke’s idea of Tabula Rasa‚ scientists have argued over the source of personality.

whole controversy between Nature vs. Nurture. Nature is based on DNA. Many people believe that it is DNA that decides on how humans will behave‚ what occupations they will have‚ and what their personalities will be like.
