Research Writing Paper 1 Instructions
In this research essay you will discuss the scientific debate on nature vs nurture. Are we more nature or are we more nurture or are we a combination of both?

-What is nature? Give examples of what is meant by nature.
-What is nurture? Give examples of what is meant by nurture.
-Discuss nature and nurture with regards to your own development. The idea is to make connections between research on the information, your life, and the concept of nature and nurture. For instance: When speaking about nature, what traits do you see in yourself and where did you get them?
-When speaking of nurture, what event had a impact on your early life, such as if your parents divorced when you were young, or you moved around a lot, or an illness, or the death of a loved one? Maybe you had really great and supportive parents, how has that impacted or supported your development. Choose only one of these concepts to focus on (if you have an idea for another event, let me know).

Conclusion: Do you think nature, or nurture, or a combination of both has made you who you are today? Explain why you think this (in other words, support your conclusion).
