Реферат: Nature Nurture Or Both Essay

genetics and environmental factors. As already stated in this paper,

schizophrenia has genetic basis. It is also a fact that this mental disease is

triggered by environmental factors including family factors and external stress.

Paul Grobstein, in his article?Genes, Environments, and Individual Choice?

explains that ?In human development and behavior, as in the development and

behavior of all other living organisms, the genome and the environment instead

productively interact with one another, both contributing unique and valuable

information to the emergence of distinctive individuals? It is also noteworthy

to mention that no two individuals are the same. Not even monozygotic twins

have the same environment. ?Every person is a unique and nonrecurrent?,

(Dobzhansky, Theodosius. p.8)

In sum, in this paper we can conclude that our development and behavior

are products of the interaction between nature and nuture. Scientists confirm

that we are predisposed to certain traits and behaviors, but this predisposition

is susceptible to modification by genetics as well as environmental factors. We

can no longer dwell on the question “Is it Nature or Nurture That Determines Who

We Are?” We learn that it is thcombination of these two vital factors that shape

and define our development and behavior.
