what is nature and nurture?

Answer 1

Nature is what we're born with, nurture is what our parents/environment do to us.

Answer 2

Nature and nurture are respectfully represented as Nature vs. Nuture or Hereditary vs. Environment. Nature would be like the genes that are within a person such as their eyes, brain, haircolour, etc. and nuture would be how they are brought up such as their religion, culture, school, country. It is definitely related to psychology and this particular subject has mystified psychologists for too many years so we do not have an absolute answer as to whether a person is grown adapted to their own self or to their surroundings. I agree with the first answer involving the study of twins.
Twins were studied as they biologically had almost identical DNA. They placed twins in different environments and researchers have discovered that their differences was about a mere 0.3% different. I personally believe it is a bit more to the hereditary side as I have done a lot of research on this topic. Hope this helps ^^

Answer 3

Those are psychology terms... usually presented as Nature Vs. Nurture. It's pretty much saying that nature is predetermination of what you will be be when you grow up... nurture is claiming that you will turn out depending on how you're brought up - including many factors such as environment, economic status, etc.

Answer 4

Nature is how you are born, your genes, etc.

Nurture is your environment. How you are raised, etc.

Psychologist argue about nature vs. nurture all the time. They tend to study identical twins that were separated at birth to discuss this.

They find the twins do certain things exactly like (like wear a certain colour, etc. ) but other things totally differently. This could show how a person's environment can shape their behaviour.
