NATURE VERSUS NURTURE 2

Nature versus nurture

Nature versus nature debate refers to the various arguments that support the origin of

the human character. Whereas; some people argue that their characters originate from the

parental genes others base their arguments on the type of environment and experience that

one is subjected to. The genetic modifications define the related nature characteristics while

the experience garnered to shape the characters defines the nurturing part (Thadani, 2015).

I believe nurture and nature go hand in hand in the growth and development of a

human being. Both nature and nature determine the internal and external attributes of an

individual. For instance, the story of neuroscientist James Fallon proofs that both nature and

nurture modify a person. James who was born with the brain of a psychopath as a result of

genetic modification was brought up in a loving environment which decreased the effect of

this condition. Arguably, the condition would have worsened if he was exposed to a harsh

and unfriendly environment. Also, based on research, identical twins may possess the same

physical attributes, but if they are exposed to different forms of environments, they tend to

adopt the attributes in their environments (Coll, Bearer, & Lerner, 2014).

I strongly believe that my intelligence originated from both nature and nurture. The

fact that my father was so intelligent when he was at my age depicts that I acquired the

intelligence genes from him. The environment that I have been brought up in also plays a

great role in my intelligence because the types of schools that I have studied embark more on

critical thinking. Thus, the exposure I have been subjected to has played an important role in

my intelligence and the shaping of my behavior. I am always motivated by the success that

comes after the completion of a task. This motivation originated from the type of friends that

I associated with while I was young. During my childhood, I used to play with friends who

were only interested in being winners at all costs. Therefore, they worked hard to achieve
