PHYSICAL SELF“The physical self is shaped by biological and environmental factors.”
Genetics is a field of biology primarily deals with the study of heredity. On the other hand, heredity is transmission of traits and characteristics from generation to another.
NATURE VS NURTURE
Nature is what we think of as pre-wiring and is influenced by genetic inheritance and other biological factors
Nurture is generally taken as the influence of external factors after conception, e.g., the product of exposure, life experiences and learning on an individual.
For example, when a professional athlete has a child that also becomes a professional athlete, is that nature or nurture. Was the athletic ability passed genetically through birth or was it a behavior learned through countless hours of repetition and practice.
OVERALL LEARNING
Way back on my younger years, I always believe that nature and nurture is completely similar to each other. I thought that maybe because very talkative is because of my mother’s genes and then I found out that I can adapt it in the environment where I belong, this the concept of nurture. Then I realized that, my physical features are maybe the only thing that I inherited from my parents. o Hence, my attitude, behavior and talent can be influenced by the environment.
