Let’s settle this psychology controversy...nature vs nurture. Shall we?

Question

I’m sure many of you know about this ongoing debate about why nature is the reasoning behind who we are are or whether it is nurture. Or it it both??? What are your thoughts on this? I personally believe it’s a mix both of nature and nurture that make us who we are today

Answer

They found the answer to this in the 90s when they began to do brain scans. It’s about 70% nurture, 30% nature

Answer

It's both. Although we don't like to think it, we are born selfish. We are our whole world. That is why have to teach children not to hit, how to control their emotions, the importance of sharing and thinking about others, how to wait, how to think beyond their own needs and wants, about personal responsibility, the importance of recognizing when they do wrong and the need to repent and make amends, and all manner of other things. Children soak up whatever is around them - they are little sponges, so it is incumbent upon us to teach them well. That's where nurture comes in, but even then, things can go very wrong. My husband's former lawyer once told him, "If your children turn out poorly, you can't take all the blame and if they turn out great, you can't take all the credit." Individual development is very much due to nurture because we really are born considering ourselves very much the center of the universe. That's nature. Personal responsibility is taught - nurture.

Answer

Mostly nurture. People aren’t born evil that’s a learned behavior 
It’s hard for me to believe people who do bad things were born that way. It’s either learned or uncorrected behavior either way that falls into the nurture category to me.

Answer

It’s both.  And the contributing weight depends on the attribute...however they really cannot be separated.

Answer

Both. We each have our own personality and beliefs that shape how we react to the events in our lives, and the events in our lives can also cause changes in how we might normally behave.
