Nuture Our Human Behavior

 

            
             One of the biggest controversial issues today is on the subject of nature vs. nurture, meaning whether or not behavior is based on nature or nurture. Nature is when behavior is based on genetics and nurture is when behavior is based on one's environment. Imagine this, a teenage age boy growing up in a troubled neighborhood such as east Oakland, the boy receives bad grades and is constantly getting in trouble with the law until one day he commits murder. Will society base this boy's lethal behavior on genetics meaning he was born to be a troubled boy and there was no way around that or will it be based on nurture meaning, since he grew up in a bad neighborhood that was known for violence and he hung around with other troubled kids and that is what triggered him to commit this crime? It would only make sense that the environment is what influenced this boy, rather than saying he was born a troubled child. In the nature vs. nurture debate Nurture is the only logical possibility of human behavior due to one's ability to be influenced by which the setting they are surrounded with.
             Human behavior is defined as the response of an individual to its environment. The definition would define human behavior as being nurture rather that nature. Some people believe that you are unchangeably born into the person you are going to be when you are a full-grown adult. Meaning, that they would feel nothing or no one could .
             change the outcome of the person they would become and how they would interact with the people and world around them. An individual will decide or turn into the person they will want to develop into as an adult, with the influences by the way they were brought up, their surroundings and the moral values they were taught by their parents, family, mentors, and/or guardians and culture. Nurture plays a crucial role in the development of human beings in this world. .
             People are very easily influenced today in this world especially children.
