Do you think that nature plays a larger role in development or does nurture? Support your opinion with the bible or general examples. HINT, Nature means your genes your genetic make-up. Nurture think your life experiences and the environment around you
I believe that nurture plays the role in development. How we are raised is a major reflection on who we turn out to be later in life. It's all about the way of life we are used to and the surroundings we put ourselves in. I believe that the people we hang out with are a huge influence in our development. If they are doing bad things then we are going to be tempted to do them and live a lifestyle like that. Also now a huge debate in our society is if people are born gay or is it there choice. This is a huge part of nature verses nurture. God intended marriage to be between a man and a woman therefore God would not create man to be genetically inclined to anything else, then he would be contradicting himself. Even though nurture is what i believe, there are still some examples in which i could see that nature has an effect as well.
ReplyDeleteI think nurture plays a huge role in our development and who we are, but not 100%. our enviroment and how we are raised shapes our personality, values, and who we are. For example, if somone is raised in a family that goes to church every sunday and has very strong values, then chances are that person is going to follow those values all their life.But also when you involve nature, that person may have a rebellious,stubborn personality, they may stray away from the values they were raised with.
ReplyDeleteI believe that nurture plays a big part in the way that we are developed. The things we know and believe are influenced by our surrounding. In Genesis 1:27 it says that God created man in His image which means that God would not create us to automatically sin against Him. It is based on the choices that we make. Children are influenced by their parents. For example the child may pull for a sports team that their parents pull for just because they were exposed to it growing up around it. Proverbs 22:6 says “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it”. That verse supports the whole concept of parents nurturing and influencing they way they believe and live their lives.
ReplyDeleteI believe in both nature and nurture. I believe that nurture has a major role in our development has humans. I think that the way we are raised and the people who we hang around have a major influence on the way we develop. I also believe that our spiritual nature does have a impact on our development in life because of what the Bible says about our natures. Since we are born with a sin nature we end up choosing self-centered views and actions. Which can shape our personalities to love the things of the world more than God. But the Bible also says by grace God sent His Son to give us the ability to have a new nature through the Holy Spirit. This is why i believe that people are not born gay, because God made marriage for a man and women. He also specifically said homosexuality is a sin in the bible. I do think the way people are raised has a major effect on how they turn out in life.
ReplyDeleteI believe that nurture has to do with wether you are homosexual or not. God would not make you gay, because that contradicts His word, and that is not possible. I also think that people who are gay, would like to think that they were born that way, because it probably makes them feel better about themselves. Nurture plays a big roll in homosexuality because if you grow up and all your family members are gay, you would feel like you should also be gay. To wrap it up, I do believe homosexuality is affected by your environment, and not genetics.
ReplyDeleteI believe nurture plays a huge role in development because you live and learn off of things you see or hear that are constant in your life. for example, if your family believe there is no such thing as God then you are going to believe that is true because most of us kids believe whatever are parents say and believe are true. i also believe that you can not be born gay, i believe it is a choice to be gay.
ReplyDeleteI believe that it is nature that affects who you are. Nurture does some, but not as much as nature. The perfect example for this is my sister. Like I spoke on in class she is just like me in so many ways. We talk the same, walk the same, have the same hand gestures, laugh, attitude, thought process, we played the same sports, etc., but my mom didn't raise us both. My sister was raised in a home that was not emotionally, or mentally stable. Her mother struggles with depression, and other things. So, why is my sister not struggling with these things too? Why is my sister more like my mom and I than her adoptive family? It must be her nature. There are some things that are definitely brought about by her nurture, but the more I see in my sister is her nature. Her actions and choices seem to come more from her nurture. It's hard to decide completely, but I do think that it comes from mostly your nature. You are who God makes you. You can be taught other things, and you can make different decisions, but who you are is because of who God made you to be.
ReplyDeleteI believe along with my classmates that it is a nurture that determines the out come of the individual. I believe that in order for a person to change is attitude or perspective of the world or just in general, the person has to be either raised that way or have experienced it themselves. I do not believe that nature has to do anything with the person's outcome in the future. How can genes determine if your gay or not? The only thing that I believe genes can do is determine your health and body traits, such as eye color, height, inherited deceases etc... Nurture in my opinion makes complete sense! Another example is, what if a child raised in a abusive home when he or she is young. Will he likely be abusive when he gets older or will he be a nice person? Most likely he will be abusive. In all, nurture in my opinion is the way to go. It just makes complete sense.
ReplyDeleteI believe nature has a big part in development, but nurture has the largest role. I think nature just proves that we are all sinful creatures and desire things of our flesh. Because of our free will, we often fall to our nature while in the nurture. To clear things up: I think living a homosexual lifestyle definitely comes about because of one’s nurture. However, the Bible mentions homosexuality as a sin that some people may struggle with which would fall into our (sinful) nature. Though one may struggle with that sin, the decision to live a homosexual and continually sinful lifestyle is brought about through one’s nurture.
ReplyDeleteI believe that nurture plays a bigger role in development that nature. Nature has a part in how people live and act, but I think their true development is based on how their nurtured. Proverbs 22:6 says "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." That clearly tells us that if you nurture a child in the way he or she should go then they will live the way they are raised. Nurturing a child in the right way will greatly benefit them as they grow older because they will remember how they were raised and thats how they will raise their children
ReplyDeleteI believe that while nature does have a role in who you are, nurture plays an even bigger role. I feel like someones past childhood, or the way they were raised immencely effects who that person will grow up to be. 2 Chronicles 22:3-4 says, " He walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother gave him evil advice. So he did what was evil in the LORD's sight like the house of Ahab, for they were his advisers after the death of his father, to his destruction". This is obviously stating that the boy's mother and the house of Ahab influenced him and molded him into the man he grew up to be. When you see people talk about serial rapist, killers, homsexuals, alcholics, and druggies on television usually they will look at how the child was raised. Reason being because chances are, that person was probably abused as a child, neglected, or just simply grew ip in that life style. That is why God instructs us to be in his word daily and live according to his word.
