OVERVIEW
-personality and talents may not have only come from paretns
-ENVIRONMENT RAISED IN=INFLUENCE (talk, behave respond)
-BIG QUESTION: DNA OR LIFE EXPERIENCE AND ENVIRONMENT?
-both are important... but which is more influential?

-some traits come from DNA (IE: intelligence mostly from mother)
-some traits ie language, behavior, responses in certain situations, etc are learned from environment one grows up in.

-habits of people around one may influence the way they perform or act (negative or positive)
-ie alcohol= negative influence, and not drinking= positive influence
-similar to peer pressure: can be good or bad

-nature and nurture are both extremely vital to have a balance of, and the debate of which is more important in one's life has been ongoing for many years

Nature is when someone is born one certain way, which means that people get their traits from their parents. Nurture is when one influences another to gain a certain trait.

# data[].attributes.body
Although many don't see a difference between the two they are very contrasting concepts. Someone's nature could be viewed as how they looks. On the other hand, nurture is how one acts and behaves. A very old and fired debate is about these topics. The big question is is someone born with DNA which will control how the look and act or if one learns through life experiences. Nature and nurture both play very important roles in one's life, but which one contributes more?

What makes good evil?
Many everyday people give into peer pressure and "orders" about how to act. These people follow their orders and commit bad deeds. In today's world this scenario happens too often.

# data[].attributes.body
Our DNA and our own life experiences bring out questions as to how much we have inherited genes. Arguments are mainly based on how much we are shaped by genes, and how much by the environment.

The nature theory:
Genetic predispositions or "animal behavior" are why some scientists think people behave. Heredity has been a big piece of evidence to back up this theory, as traits such as eye color and hair color are determined by specific genes encoded in each human cell

The Nurture theory:
Supporters of the nurture theory do not believe that genetic tendencies matter, and that the environmental factors of our upbringing are originated from our behavioral aspects. The most crucial evidence for this is based on the studies of infant and child temperament.

Are Some Humans Born Evil?
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/the-filter/11195840/Are-some-humans-born-evil.html
-Many people blame someone's upbringing or bad circumstances to why they did an evil act.
-Though, no one can be born completely evil some kids are more likely to become it than others. There are signs that children show at a young age that can make them more prone to committing evil.
-One of the signs include lack of empathy for others. This early sign may seem insignificant and childish at the time but if the trait stays evil come easier to them
-acts of nurture can combat this signs. Teaching kids to react appropriately to other emotions will help them later in life

Nature
-Cells that determine our traits
-What your born with

Nurture
-Genetic Influence over traits
-Conditioning to teach a child a new behavior

Nature
-The environment the child grew up in plays a big part on how they behave
-culture also also plays a role for people behavior/actions

Nurture
-refers to traits and qualities that are learned by most people as the grow up
-behaviors learned by animals and humans are usually a result of there surroundings

"Nature and Nurture Debate"

Nature: The coding of genes in every cell helps determine most of out physical traits such as, Height, Eye color, and Ear size. But many people can argue that more complex attributes are involved such as personality, intelligence, and likes and dislikes. One of the biggest issues is that people argue there is a "gay gene" which explains  why gays are born gay.

Nurture: We are born with most of our traits but we also learn some of them. "The environmental factors are the real origins of our behavior. This includes the use of conditioning in order to induce a new behavior to a child, or alter an unlikely behavior being shown by the child."

The main question is "are we born this way, or do we behave according to our life experiences?"

Nature v Nurture Argument
~~~
Explorable - Nature and Nurture Debate
(https://explorable.com/nature-vs-nurture-debate)
~~~

Many of our physical features are brought to us by the genes from our parents from eyes, to hair, to our face over all. But are our talents and specific personalities from our parents to?

This argument is as old as time and is still an ongoing debate

many people assume we have a gene for everything from a sexuality gene or a "gay gene", meaning gays were born that way, to behavioral genes judging how we are towards others and how we cause certain things.

Nature vs. Nurture

Whether human behavior and personality is caused from nature or nurture. Nurture is the outcome of experiences while nature is from genetics.
Nature
- Mental health conditions are passed down by family members
- Bipolar is much more likely to develop if a past family member has had it.
-  Addictions to alcohol, for example, are more likely to occur within families.
Nurture
- Mental health conditions and addictions, while they are impacted by history in a family, don't completely rely on genetics.
- The environment can pressure someone to develop an addiction if a friend or family member has one.
- The most significant factor to mental health conditions comes from, not genetics and family history, but bullying or abuse.

.
NATURE:
- Genes: Determine different traits Ex: eyes, hair color etc
- Mental health conditions (ex: bipolar)
-
NURTURE:
-  "nurture theory holds that genetic influence over abstract traits may exist"
- Training: "He can be able to train a baby randomly chosen in a group of 12 infants, to become any type of specialist Watson wants"
- The environment were in can affect the way we behave
- Habits: The habits of a parent, friend, or a partner can influence you in a negative or positive way depending on their habits (alcohol)

Nature v.s Nurture

"The nature versus nurture debate is one of the oldest issues in psychology"
https://www.verywell.com/what-is-nature-versus-nurture-2795392

Nature refers to traits and characteristics that are inherited or genetic in origin, while nurture refers to traits and qualities that are learned by organisms as they grow.
https://www.reference.com/world-view/difference-between-nature-nurture-6ee8880c5f7b90f0

Study finds your environment plays a big role in how intelligent you are. It is often debated whether intelligence is significantly influenced by a person's environment or their genes. Now, a study has shown that intelligence is a product of nurture as well as nature.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3011356/Intelligence-based-nature-nurture-Study-finds-environment-plays-significant-role-smart-are.html

Humans whose attitudes are brought up by their friends tend to need to be in a group to feel more independent. Those who follow the attitudes of their parents tend to look up at other and be directed to things rather than choosing to do it.  DNA may have to do with how one looks and their liking of things, but, DNA can't play a role in ones actions.

Nature V Nurture
The Nature V Nurture argument is about Natural human behavior versus behavior caused by experience or environment.  If a good person becomes evil the reasons for that event taking place are almost infinite. A reason that nature could be a factor is if the person has a family history of mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and bipolar. A reason that environment can play a role in this could be childhood traumas like growing up around people that had evil thoughts or did evil things. An article states: "Researchers at the University of Liverpool recently found that while a family history of mental health conditions was the second strongest predictor of mental illness, the strongest predictor was in fact life events and experiences, such as childhood bullying, abuse, or other trauma, supporting the idea of nurture’s significant role in the development of mental health issues" (GoodTherapy).

Nature vs Nurture

Many physical features people have come from there mother

Nature
- Cells in our body that help determine what our traits will be like
- How someone is born to act

Nurture
- How people or events affect a person
- How people or events can either help shape someone's mind in the right direction or make the person shape themselves in the wrong direction

Nurture vs Nature – Are We all Born Good?
Psychopaths, Serial Killers, etc.

No person is born evil, they become evil because they choose to act on bad feelings

This stems from the lower part of the brain, people's influences come from there

The lower part of the brain fuels anger and hatred, causing some people to do horrific things

Some people have well functioning brains that they don’t even notice that impulse

What goes wrong in these people above is that their impulse control is not working or poor

They get these bad feelings and act on them

Blaming the Parents

Parents have the responsibility to teach their children the right values and norms, to teach them how to behave, to teach them what is and isn’t acceptable in the world

It is rare to find psychopaths and killers that are raised in loving and caring homes

Their home might be unsafe and their parents might not be around a lot

Reasons for Being "Evil"

How children are raised is a big factor

# data[].attributes.body
Nature-
- There are some genes that determine the traits that we have
-  Nature is what you are born with, it is what you think and do
- It kind of determines if you are going to be a good or bad person
- It is what you are born with, the thoughts that you are born with

Nurture-
- Is what you are being told and taught
- People can be changed by the ideas and thoughts of other's and that is what Nurture is
- It's the impact of things on our life
- It could make you a bad person, it can change the way you view life

What makes a good person do bad things-

-It could be the competition in society
- Could be because people think that they are more superior to another person, so they do what they want
- The power that we are given could be a reason that someone good could do something bad
- The way they are nurtured could change the way they think, it could make them think the worse
- A reason that some people do this is because they want to fit in with the people they are hanging out with
- The people they are hanging out with could change their actions
- Some people are driven to do things they don't want to because they are working so hard to meet their goal
- People love freedom, so when someone puts restrictions on them, often times they try to break those rules

"Nature and Nurture Debate"
https://explorable.com/nature-vs-nurture-debate
- It is hard to conclude whether a person's development is because of DNA or if it is mostly influenced by life experiences and environment.
- Both nature and nurture play important roles in a person's life.
- What is unknown is whether we are developed due to nature or nurture.
Nature
- Nature deals with traits we inherit from our parents and family members.
- One big debate is whether there is behavioral genes. For example, kids whose parents were aggressive or divorced often have the tendency to act the same way when they are older.
- Some debate that you can prove behavioral genes by looking at fraternal twins. For example, when fraternal twins are reared apart, they show similar behaviors and responses as if they had been reared together.
Nurture
- This theory says that the environmental factors are the real origins of our behavior.
-  You could train a baby to become a certain way as they grow up.
- This would involve ignoring the child's potential talents and their race and instead raising them in a very specific way.

Nature vs Nurture mental health affects.
http://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/psychpedia/nature-versus-nurture

Nature Mental Health Affects
- Proven to be an important factor in the development of some mental health conditions.
- It is not the only factor for the development of mental health conditions. Ex: twins. One twin could develop a mental health disease and the other twin only has a 50% chance of developing it.
- Studies also show that addiction is more likely in a child when they grow up if someone in their family was previously an addict.

Nurture Mental Health Affects
- Growing up in certain environments can affect your personality in different ways as you get older.
- Some think that addiction is part of nurture and not nature.
- If a kid grows up in a home with a parent who is an addict they have been exposed to this behavior for years and may follow the same behavior when they grow up.
- Traumatizing events in ones childhood could lead to mental illness.

VeryWell

Nature-Is from our genes its our hereditary factors with our personality and our physical features

Nurture- Is how we are impacted  in life. It what were taught. How we are raised childhood experiences social relationships and surrounding culture.

Psychopaths are Nature and while Sociopaths are Nurtured

Psychopaths are the lack of ethics while sociopaths have a sense of morality. Sociopaths have have a disregard for laws and fell empathy or remorse. While Psychopaths are not attached to someone or feel emotion Sociopaths can live next to you without hurting you.

Insane or Just Evil? A Psychiatrist Takes a New Look at Hitler

New York Times
(Goode, Nov. 17, 1998)

Overview
-Whether Hitler was evil or a madman is a subject of debate among historians
-Dr. Reidlich, professor at Yale and the University of California believes that while he had signs of mental and physical illness, none of these illnesses were enough to make Hitler think in the way he did.

Hitler's Ailments
-"He was afflicted with hypertension, headaches and heart trouble."
-"Toward the end of his life, the Nazi leader also suffered from Parkinson's syndrome."
-These would help explain strange actions of Hitler that other historians  have concluded were symptoms of phsychosis
-Hitler's Doctor, Dr. Morell, perscribed amphetomines to him and mixes of laxatives and opiates
-these might have affected his actions during the war

Mental Illness
-" In his book, Dr. Redlich runs through a list of psychiatric symptoms -- paranoia, narcissism, anxiety, depression, hypochondria, to name a few -- and finds some evidence for every one. "
-Although all of these illnesses are possibilities, it is difficult to tell what he had and what he did not

The surprising effect of 'nature vs. nurture' on twins

Today
(Sassman, June 22, 2015)

Nature Debate
-Twins Sharon Poset and Debbie Mehlman were seperated at birth
-they did not know of each other's existance for 45 years
-Poset and Mehlman, regardless of their seperation, are able to finish each other's sentences and both studied social work
-The twins' personalities are similar

Nurture Debate
- John Henry and Jackson Friesenhahn are virtual twins, or siblings of the same age that live together but are not related
-They share common interests and take part in similar activities
-They think personality is based on how one is raised

Conclusion
-phsychologists say that the effect on people from environment and the effect on people through genetics is almost equal, with a 51 and 49 percent split
