Chapter 5: Nature vs. Nurture |
Some people would say the world makes us the way we are, and
others would say we are born the way we are. Despite all of
the advances in human knowledge, this topic is still hotly debated
today. Evidence exists supporting both points of view, suggesting
the answer may not be entirely nature or nurture, but a combination
of both.
Research the topic more thoroughly. Explore the "Nature/Nurture"
feature on the BBC Web site at http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/genes/who_am_i/
nature_nurture/walk_of_life.shtml. Write a mock debate
on the issue in which you assume the identity of two people
and argue both for and against each point of view. Do these
two individuals come to an agreement, or does the debate have
no resolution? Cite evidence from your research to support
both points of view.
