Nature VS Nurture

The phrase Nature VS Nurture is a debating statement which emphasizes where certain qualities came from, if they are genetically  recieved or they are developed through time with the environment they learn from. This famous said phrase was first said by the english victorian polymath Francis Galton. Galton was inspired by Charles Darwin's book "The Origin of Species", he was his cousin. Nature VS Nurture debate just one main topic which is the individual importance of a person's inate qualities Versus development through time, how that development changes and human experience. It has always been debated, still is debated there  is no belief on just one. Over time every individual person has come to develop their own opinion, the main deal is that science cannot test most of psychology thats why it is so hard to debate this theory. I personally think that everything varies, it depends on the quality that we are talking about. Some we are born with genetically but others we develop and our environment influences on us a lot. Even though every one has their own opinion on the subject, not all of us respect other people's opinions because we are so defensive. We have to respect others thoughts because if we dont we wont ever stop debating because this is not a matter of science so it wont ever be prooven which one of those is right or wrong.

Evolution, Natural Selection or Religion?

Around the 18hundreds a British Naturalist changed the way people viewed where we came from, our origin and how the human race started. This naturalist was Charles Darwin, born February 12 1809 on Shrewsbury, England. His parents were Robert Waring Darwin and Susannah Hegwood. Darwin believed that life on earth evolved over millions of years to what we are now. In 1831, Darwin set an expeditionto on the HMS Beagle circumnavigating the globe. The expedition lasted 5 years. He collected a lot of data and species when they were in the Galapagos Islands for further study when he returned. Because of all the research and data he collected, he had various theories upon his return to london on 1836. He had various theories such as evolution. His theory of natural selection consisted that variation within species occurs randomly and that the survival or extinction of each organism is determined by that organisms ability to adapt to its environment. Cultural issues were serious to his work, not in a good way. His theories somehow prooved not completely that there is no such thing as a god and that we came naturally. Everyone at that time was completely religious which made it difficult for him deciding wether to publish his book or not, he was afraid of rejection and banning in society.

What is Psychology? Why should we study it?

The first time someone asked me what psychology was, I thought it was any thing related to being crazy or mentally challenged. It has nothing to do with being crazy, but with humans minds and behavior. When you study someone's psychological state, you have to focus on its mind and behavior to see their state. We should study psychology to gain knowledge about ourself and how certain factors can manipulate and affect our behavior.
