Nature VS Nurture Debate (Criminal Behavior)

It is believed that we inherit many things from our parents and that we gain certain characterisitcs from our enviornment. Nature VS nurture are the two debated sides in which one side believes that the majority of the things we inherit are ffrom Nature and another from Nurture whoch is what we learn when we grow up. I personally believe that we inherit things from our parents and then when we are growing we also learn them. The topic i am going to debate is Criminal Behavior. I think that criminal behavior is NOT inherited from our parents, but learned from them or others. We have been taught not to say bad words near small kids because they will do watever we big kids or adults do, its the same thing with violence. If a child sees their parents using violence or doing bad things then they will think its right and do the same.
      According to the research i have made Criminal Behavior has been categorized as Nurture. Many of the criminals are violent because they have been molested when little. Many of the criminals that were sexually horrassed or violently treated when they were little come to be criminals because it is a way to draine their anger to life. Another reason is because when they were violently treated they ahd some brain damage. N example my psychology teacher gave my class was thatv when kids were shaken when they were kids, their brain would hit the boe and get damaged which made the brain develop wrongly and create a discontroll of emotions. Criminals usually tend to kill, but they kill in a very violent way. They usually dont get enough just to kill the person and then leave. they stab variouse times and do discusting things with the person. This is because the part of their brain that is damaged´is the part that controls your body and that tells you when to stop watever you are doing.
    in conclusion, i think that the Criminal behavior comes from nurture. Children learn what they see very quickly and if they see things that create a very tense atmosphere then they will get interested and if they see things being done by their parents or other adults then they will think it is right. Children need to be shown the irght things so that these things that are happening in the present wont happen in the future. Children need to be treated paciently so that their personality can be the same way they have seen since children.

  2. Your point of view was clearly stated throughout the report. It is very true that criminal behavior is a product from the environment. Certainly, your report was well elaborated and discussed.
