Topic 3 DQ 1
Topic 3 DQ 1 Describe one way in which nature and nurture have BOTH impacted your development in each of the three developmental domains – physical, cognitive, and socioemotional. Provide examples. Nature and Nurture are what makes us who we are. Our genes and the environment we grow up in are what molds us into who we are and what we do. The genes we inherit from our parents affect our physical attributes and the way we think and act (Grison & Gazzaniga, 2017). As for me I have received my mothers’ blue eyes and blonde hair, but I inherited my father’s thin hair and stubborn attitude. I am very outspoken like my father, but I am also easy going and loving like my mother. I like to think of it as “I am the best of both worlds”. The environment we grow up in also has an impact on how we function. Growing up poor and with 4 brothers, I learned how to run with the big boys and take care of myself. I learned how to stand up for myself and not take crap from anyone. I think that has done me a lot of good growing up as I wasn’t one to be pushed around. Being molded to act for myself is one of the best things I could have learned or inherited from my family and environment. Grison, S., & Gazzaniga, M. S. (2017). Psychology in your life (2nd ed.).
