COLUMN 1COLUMN 2COLUMN 3COLUMN 4COLUMN 51. Seven perspectives of psychology2. Overview of perspective3. How does the perspective relate to nature? 4. How does the perspective relate to nurturing? 5. In your opinion, is nature or nurture more significant for this perspective, and why? Use the behaviors listed below to support your answer.NeuroscienceHow the body and brain enable emotions, memories, and sensory experiences brain and body development are influenced by biological factors, such as genetic expression (Honeycutt, 2019). Brain and body development is influenced by responses to changes in our environment (Honeycutt, 2019). Behaviors to consider: Neuroplasticity or drug addiction think nurtures more significant from the neuroscience perspective. In neuroscience, I believe it is nurture that is the most significant piece of the puzzle. Even though we are born hard-wired a certain way in our genetics, the environment in which we live either influences or weakens these genetically given traits. Genes influence human behavior, it tries to push you one way or the other, but with early intervention, the behavior can be changed one way or the other.

If a person is genetically more prone to addiction but grows up in a home where addiction is frowned upon and not made normal, it is less likely they will become an addict.EvolutionaryHow the natural selection of traits has promoted the survival of genes we are born with instincts that promote our survival and the propagation of our species (Honeycutt, 2019) According to Myers & Dewall, Nature versus nurture has long been debated in psychology during Hippocrates’ time because they are both inseparable. I would consider it an interesting conversation regarding this topic because everyone’s biological genes and the environment both play roles in shaping one’s personality. In my observation and readings from Soomo’s learning, I see Nature playing a more prominent part in influencing Nature than nurture and having more of an impact on human behavior. Personality (character) refers to genetic predisposition, while nurture refers to how our environment affects everyone. Because Nature decides which biological genes get passed down to individuals, people then inherit features depending on what genes they have inherited (Myers & Dewall, 2020). Researching and seeping from a different angle about nurturing, our “environment can mutate our biological genes causing mental and physical changes to our mind and body” (Lipton, 2001).
