What Is The Nature Vs Nurture Debate About?
The nature vs. nurture debate is about what causes human behavior. For example, if someone is a superior basketball player, how much is intense training and motivation, and how much is genetic. Nature (genetics) would be eye-hand coordination, fast nerve and muscle reaction time, high energy level, and the ability to go for a long time without tiring. Nurture would be parents and coaches encouraging the player to practice a lot, giving him a lot of encouragement, making sure he has transportation to the basketball court, and making sure he had adequate nutrition.
