Now, do a little research on your own:
The nature versus nurture debate is one of the oldest philosophical questions within psychology. Nature refers to all of the genes and hereditary factors that influence our actions. This ranges from our physical appearance to our personality traits. Nurture, on the other hand, is all the environmental variables that impact who we are, including our social relationships, childhood experiences, and the ways in which we were raised. Using your textbook and current research to support your opinion, discuss your views on the relative contributions of nature environment to psychopathology.
