NATURE VS NURTURE ESSAY
“We have all heard expressions such as “He inherited a good set of genes” or “She had a great upbringing” to explain some trait or behavior. These explanations offer two very different answers to a basic question that has fueled controversy among theorists since the beginnings of psychology and that continues to rage even today. Dubbed the “nature-nurture” debate”, the dispute centers on whether the child’s development is the result of genetic endowment or environmental influence” (Bukatko & Daehler, Child Development, 2001, p. 5).
OBJECTIVE: Write an essay focused on this “nature-nurture” debate.
FORMAT:
1. Argue that development is a result of our genetic endowment.
2. Argue that development is a result of our environment.
3. Argue that development is a result of the interaction between genetic endowment and environmental influences.
