The Nature Vs. Nurture Theory

It breaks down how biological and physiological effects how we communicate. The brain has a way to trigger certain responses and because of evolution and natural selection we are all justified by certain responses in theory. In this chapter you will find observations made by researchers on how touch and affection and conflict and aggressing is determined and how it affects our interpersonal relationships and communication with others. Both advantages and disadvantages in the belief and measurements of biophysiology is explored and suggestions for future research. It is in my view that God wants us to do all that we can to understand and accept one another.

Volkow. However, even though I agree with the science behind the model I do not agree that addiction is caused by genetics alone. I believe in a more eclectic model, the bio-psycho-social-spiritual model. I disagreed with Dr. Volkow’s take on addiction when she didn’t incorporate more than just genetic components when talking about what causes addiction. How does society as a whole know that addiction has a strong genetic component?

1. Identify the three stages of Selye’s general adaptation syndrome. Alarm: Refer to the first stage of stress where body prepare organisms to do what they have to do in order of protected itself of survive.

As I look back on my journey to college, I faced many different problems and disadvantages even before taking my first steps on campus. In Linda Banks-Santilli’s “Guilt is one of the biggest struggles first-generation college students face” many first generation students view being the first one in the family as a major flaw before entering college (Banks-Santilli, 2015, Par. 4 &7). The lack of self-respect makes it difficult for students to achieve success without help or motivation. The students have to change their viewpoint about being the first to go to college in their family as a weakness and make it a strength to help motivate them to be better students.

Introduction: In the attempt to explain human behaviour, one of the oldest debates in psychology is the issue of nature versus nurture. This debate revolves around the extent to which genetic inheritance and external environmental factors affect human behaviour. At one end there are the nativists which believe that human differences are based of genetic codes. On the other hand, there are the empiricists who believe the human mind at birth is a blank slate and is eventually “filled” by experience.

Endorphins are hormones that exist mainly in your brain and carry signals across nerves, throughout your body. When exercising, working out or in physical pain, endorphins are released. Endorphins are released when under stress

Depression among the Hmong Depression is considered to be one of the more prevalent mental illnesses in Western society. Although it can be interpreted as deep sadness, it can also lead to health deficits later on in a person’s life, depending on how long it lasts. The film ‘The Split Horn’, filmed by Taggart Siegel and Jim McSilver, (PBS, 2015) touches on the impact that depression has on a specific group of people called the Hmong. However, the Hmong view of depression contrasts from those who practice Western culture, and some views of one culture contradicts the other. There are a few consequences that can come out of this, and as a result, one can begin to understand the difference between cultures, since depression is conceptualized

Dr.Thurman Mott reports “numerous mild side effects occur during inductions”. These are usually not reported and have not been studied, however, they do occur usually during the first induction, they might be expected to reoccur with psychiatric patients. The most common of these side effects during the induction could be the increase of anxiety frequently related to fears of loss of control and excessive crying and sobbing. At times patients feel dizzy and develop various degrees of nausea during the

What made me the way I am? This is a common question that stems from the idea of environmental circumstances that form our established qualities as well as an opposing idea that supports how genes and ones DNA shape individuals. This argument of nature versus nurture has become an international debate among many philosophers, psychologists and scientists. Nature is the idea that people are shaped primarily by genetic make-up, while nurture argues that our environmental influences and life experiences are the important factors in determining how the person is today Essentially, these two topics are extremely diverse and an immense amount of research is done to further explore and understand humans. Both have evidential facts to support either human nature: “the general psychological characteristics, feelings, and behavioral traits of humankind, regarded as shared by all humans” or human nurture: “care for and encourage the growth or development of” (Mate).

We all look forward to the day of graduation and the day we turn our dreams to reality some find it easy and some find it difficult. I remember being in high school two years ago and thinking about what I wanted to do after graduation as to -- whether I should go straight to nursing school or start off at a community college to eventually transfer to a four year university. In life, lots of students come across transitioning from high school to college to become successful in life and to achieve their goals. Some people find it easy or difficult to transition from high school to college. The reason for this is people fail to realize that high school is way different than college.
