Nature vs. Nurture is the latest controversy surrounding human ideas and beliefs. This is a term used in psychology related to whether heredity (nurture) or the environment (nature) most impact human psychological behavior. Francis Galton, a biological scientist, was the first person to use the term “nature vs. nurture” inspired by his cousin, Charles Darwin, and the book he wrote, “Origin of Species”. Galton is recognized as the “father of behavioral genetics”. A few topics that are part of the debate are if: behavior, habits, intelligence, personality, aggressive tendencies, sexuality are all caused by nurture or nature. The general consensus of the debate between Nature vs. Nurture is that our psychological behavior is formed by both our environment and how we are born. In my opinion our behavior has more to do with our past experiences than with what we are born. Some of born with more potential than others but how we are treated and helped by our environment that is how we will be. If a child goes to school and his parents are always trying to make ways so that he feels comfortable and happy with it, he will surely be more intelligent that someone that didn’t even go to school.
