Much of the debate in developmental psychology revolves around the issue of nature versus nurture big question is how much of our human traits, characteristics, and behaviors stem from genetics and how much are influenced by our environment. Please select an issue or topic that generates this kind of debate. For instance, the issue of intelligence constantly spurs arguments about whether intelligence is based on genetics or from one’s environment, or perhaps both.

Choose your own issue where there is a debate about nature versus nurture. Examples may include whether certain disorders are more genetically based or stem from one’s environment, such as schizophrenia or autism. You may also choose a specific behavior that has created this kind of argument. For instance, are certain gender differences between men and women due to genetics or environment?

Choose your own issue or topic and explain why there is such a nature versus nurture argument around it. Justify your response. For topics such as sexual orientation or subjects of a personal nature, please make sure to present your arguments from an academic perspective and not merely from a personal reaction or opinion to the issue.
