I have a psychology project to do where i have to describe how nature (what you are born with) and nurture (what you learn and change) has an affect on temperament, genes, etc. etc. Now we have to make a visual for this project where we bring in items to symbolize what out temperament is naturally and how it has changed. I am bringing in sunglasses for how nature has affected my temperament because i was born a calm and cool kid. the nurture side of this is how our parents reacted with us and how we have changed from what we were given us. I am not as cool as i was before and can get more mad than i did before. Can anyone thing of how i can represent this with one single item??

I completely disagree with John due to my experience raising four children of two distinct temperaments. It may sound silly but what about a dish of ice cream for your visual. You came out all cool and sweet but the longer you're out in the world you are melting, melting, into a hot sticky mess!

Temperment is a function of what you learn. You grow up and watch your parents deal with problems and see what works and that gives you your temperment. nothing to do with nature, strickly nurture.

Bring in a time bomb, a timer, or an alarm clock.
