  5. What is the Nature vs. Nurture debate? • This debate is concerned with the extent to which particular aspects of behavior are a product of either inherited (i.e. genetic) or acquired (i.e. learned) characteristics.

  6. What is “Nature”? • Genes • DNA • Chromosomes • Health changes (pregnancy, cancer) • “How you were born” • Health issues which run in families • Mental disorders, predispositions

  7. What is “Nurture”? • Environment: • Religion • Community • School • Parents • Friends • Life experiences

  8. In your notebook • Write down 10 characteristics about you, such as “smart”, “funny”, “pretty”,… etc. • Now, classify each one, as either originating because of Nature(Genetics) or Nurture (enviro) and specifically why you think this. Ex- “smart”-Nature- because my parents are highly intelligent Ex- “shy”- because I embarrassed myself for talking too much in 2nd grade.
