Consider the following questions:
a.) Why is it flawed to ask how much of a particular behavior is due to genetics and how much is due to experience?
b.) Why is it appropriate to seperate the contributions of genetics and experiece when measuring the development of diffrences among individuals?
answer:
It is flawed to assume that a particular behavior is solely do to genetics. Behavior is controlled by nature and nuture responses. Genetics play a role because they can have a direct affect on one's patience level and cortisol responses to an issue or situation. Environmental genetics, or phenotypes can play a role in developing the functions …show more content…
While the two factors will affect behavior, the combinations are infinite, and thus any interactions cannot truly be judged. In the long end, behavior will most likely be controlled by experiential learning and by the consequences felt by their actions.
***It is flawed to ask how much of a particular behaviour is due to genetics and how much is due to experience, because no behaviour is caused soley by gentics or experience. Nature or nuture can be a factor as well. How will we ever know what are the behaviours of genetics and what are the behaviours of expeience? I dont think thats ever possible, so I can clearly say it is flawed to say how much of a behaviour is due to genetics or experience. Diffrent people react in diffrent ways, so to say because of 'x' genetic everyone is behaving this way would be wrong.
Lets say for example, you wanted to say murders become the peron's they are because of te gentetics they inhertited would be flawed. Yes we could say genetics from his/her's parent being a murder could be a contributing factor, however experience maybe as well a contributor. But what do you say about those who's parents are muders, and they dont grow up to be muders what do you contribute that to? Mind set, gentetic or
