kirbykirby · Answer

Hmm unfortunately I haven't studied too much about psychology.. so I will leave this to someone else.

e.mccormick · Answer

Did you try asking in the psychology section or even Social Sciences?

anonymous · Answer

I didn't know there was a psychology section :o thanks

e.mccormick · Answer

Two of them.  They were for specific classes, which is why I also suggest Social Sciences, which includes Psycology as a sub set.

Tag me when you ask in one of those and we can discuss nature vs. nurture.

1) 100% Nature means we can do nothing other than what is pre-programmed.
2) 100% Nurture puts an awful lot of pressure on parents and society.

Can we make choices or not?  Are we just running on instinct?
