According to your textbook, nature consists of evolved traits, heredity, genes, physical development, physiology, etc.; nurture consists of culture, the social environment, family, education, peer relationships, etc. Take a stance on the nature-nurture debate. Why do you think nature or nurture is a stronger influence in our lives? What does it affect (e.g., cognitive, social, emotional, physical)? Give a strong, particular example of when nature or nurture trumps the other – when nature is stronger than nurture or nurture is stronger than nature.
