One of the most talkative, debated and augured topics among numerous psychologists and philosophers and in classrooms is the very known nature verses nurture debate. Or heredity verses environment in simpler terms. The nature verses nurture debate is whether if the way you act is based on genetic qualities, heredity, or if the environment you were born into had an effect on your upbringing and personality. Some debate that it’s nature, born good, and other debate nurture, made evil. Aristotle,…

How many times have you contracted a disease from a family member? Maybe a classmate or associate? Are you tired of hearing about the sick and dying in Africa?

The common problem in our world today is simply this: an over abundance of the physically and mentally ill. I have observed that in all continents and countries there is…

It would be inadequate to assume that human nature amounts simply to a set of innate potentials, and as such; that behavioural traits are derived from Innate Potentials alone. Human nature is subject to innate potentials as well as environmental and cultural Inputs. Human Nature, which is, denoting something that all human beings share, is predominantly hereditary, and found to be a result of human evolution, as such, it has been traditionally related to the idea of universality, which is the…

fields, but is of utmost importance in a species’ evolution (Dizikes). While a child traveling to a former time is simply a naive whim, modern science has made altering nature’s evolutionary means a glaring reality, which exhibits the same dangers…

another” (“Early theories…”, n.d.). Contrary to what some may believe or have been taught, biological evolution and evolutionary theory do not suggest that humans come from monkeys. Rather, they suggest that organisms share a common ancestor somewhere down the line, and that that common ancestor can be held accountable for similar traits among different species, like man and chimp. Evolutionary theory has struggled to be universally accepted and respected, and has been challenged by other ideas,…

Nature versus Nurture "Nature versus Nurture" is one of the oldest argument of all time in history and it still continues until now. Beckett (2002) defined the nature as qualities and characteristics which are transmitted to humans directly from parents through genetics. While, nurture could be explained as "all external factors surrounding human beings from birth to death" (Beckett 2002). Wherefore, scientists confirm that the factors which influence human behavior are subdivided into three…

Impact and Effects of the “Scope Monkey Trial” (1925) on Public Education Throughout United States history, the topic of evolution has been the center of a highly contested and controversial subject. Even when trying to define what evolution means, one is able to find many different definitions as well as opinions. However, for this paper, evolution will be defined as “Change from time in populations of living organisms; irreversible transformation in genetic compositions of populations”…

life refers to the gradual development of various organisms to adapt and better adjust to their current environment, originating from a common ancestor, while the origin of life is a more complex question. The author the initiates to explain the evolutionary perspective on the subject, which is mostly unbiased and informative. Evolutionist theorise that physical existence in our planet arose from solely natural means, for this reason many believe that it would be unreasonable to even conceive…

A new poll conducted by Ipsos surveyed twenty-four countries and found that 41% of respondents identified themselves as "evolutionists" and 28% as "creationists," with 31% indicating that they "simply don 't know what to believe.” In today’s world, evolution is highly regarded as the way of thinking by individuals, due to the logic presented through many theories and fragmented evidence. Of these, darwinism and neo-darwinism are two major theories in which evolutionists view the beginning of…

Nature versus Nurture has been one of the major controversies in all of time. Whether inherited genes or environmental influences can affect one’s personality, behavior, development intelligence, and ability. While nature is mainly characterized by physical attributes inherited from generation to generation, nurture is mainly in control of a person’s character and manner. Either Adam, the monster, could have been born with his savage ways or he could have acquired these ways from society. Nature…
