Introduction<br />

Imagine this. You are walking down <strong>the</strong> road<br />

like every day when you see a man drop his<br />

wallet as he gets into a cab. What will you<br />

do?<br />

Will you call out <strong>the</strong> person and let him<br />

know that he has dropped his wallet?<br />

Will you keep walking as nothing has<br />

happened?<br />

Or will you take <strong>the</strong> wallet and use <strong>the</strong><br />

money to buy yourself a meal?


Introduction<br />

• There are a number <strong>of</strong> ways to react to<br />

that situation, and if ano<strong>the</strong>r person was<br />

in your position, he/she might have<br />

reacted differently than yours. But what<br />

determines how a person is going to<br />

behave or react to a particular issue?<br />

Have you ever given a thought to this?<br />

• Well, don’t worry. No one is going to<br />

punish you if you never really think<br />

about <strong>the</strong> reason behind human<br />

behavior.


Introduction<br />

• Over <strong>the</strong> years, a number <strong>of</strong> opinions<br />

have emerged, but only a few <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m<br />

have stood <strong>the</strong> test <strong>of</strong> time.<br />

• According to French philosopher, Rene<br />

Descartes, “We all, as individual human<br />

beings, have certain innate ideas that<br />

enduringly underpin our approach to <strong>the</strong><br />

world.” And if we are to believe that,<br />

<strong>the</strong>n what exactly influences our innate<br />

ideas? Is it heredity, or is it <strong>the</strong><br />

environment we grow up in?


Introduction<br />

• This is <strong>the</strong> foundation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> neverending<br />

debate between “<strong>Nature</strong> <strong>vs</strong>.<br />

<strong>Nurture</strong>” as researchers keep digging<br />

fur<strong>the</strong>r into <strong>the</strong> issue.<br />

• The term “<strong>Nature</strong>” signifies <strong>the</strong> genetic<br />

inheritance that we were born with,<br />

while <strong>the</strong> term “<strong>Nurture</strong>” is described as<br />

<strong>the</strong> influence <strong>of</strong> external factors like<br />

experience, upbringing and education.


• The color <strong>of</strong> your eyes, your hair type<br />

(straight, wavy or curly), <strong>the</strong><br />

pigmentation <strong>of</strong> your skin and even <strong>the</strong><br />

vulnerability to certain diseases – <strong>the</strong>se<br />

are <strong>the</strong> examples <strong>of</strong> physical<br />

characteristics that are influenced by <strong>the</strong><br />

genes we inherit. But how can it<br />

influence our actions?<br />

• Well, a group <strong>of</strong> researchers believes that<br />

certain psychological characteristics,<br />

including personality attributes,<br />

behavioral tendencies.


• Researchers who support <strong>the</strong> “nature”<br />

<strong>the</strong>ory believe that individual differences<br />

between two humans are <strong>the</strong> result <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> difference in genetic coding between<br />

those two people. They have presented<br />

several pieces <strong>of</strong> evidence to establish<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir point, and by far <strong>the</strong>y have<br />

succeeded in doing so.<br />

• However, <strong>the</strong> researchers who believe in<br />

<strong>the</strong> “nurture” <strong>the</strong>ory suggest that <strong>the</strong><br />

human mind remains at a blank state<br />

during birth and as <strong>the</strong> person starts to<br />

gain experience, his mind begins to fill.


• Researchers from both <strong>the</strong> sides have<br />

contradicted each o<strong>the</strong>r’s opinions, and<br />

that continues to go on, even though <strong>the</strong><br />

popular understandings <strong>of</strong> this debate<br />

have changed.<br />

• However, <strong>the</strong> people have started to<br />

realize <strong>the</strong> significance <strong>of</strong> heredity on a<br />

person’s behavior, in recent years. This is<br />

one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> major reasons why people<br />

have begun to accept <strong>the</strong> fact that <strong>the</strong><br />

genetic influence


• The researchers who have supported<br />

ei<strong>the</strong>r <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> views are now more<br />

interested in finding out how both <strong>the</strong><br />

elements (nature and nurture) interact.<br />

• More questions will be answered as <strong>the</strong><br />

researchers find out more details about<br />

genetics. This may help provide a general<br />

understanding <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fact that personal<br />

choices are influenced by both nature<br />

and nurture; not individually, but<br />

collectively.
