1 Nature vs Nurture

2 The Nature vs. Nurture debate  Nature ~ what we think of as ‘pre-wiring’, is influenced by genetic inheritance and other biological factors.  Nurture ~ the influence of external factors after birth e.g. exposure to environmental / emotional stimuli, experience and learning The nature-nurture debate is concerned with the contribution that both influences make to human behaviour.

11 Case Study 8: Homosexuality  In relation to homosexuality, the nature concept explores the possibility of a specific gene or combination of genes present at the time of birth that genetically predispose people to homosexuality. In other words, some people are born gay.  Gay advocates say proving there s a gay gene will provide wider social acceptance and better protection against discrimination. Proving that being gay is not a choice means that discrimination against homosexuals becomes a matter of civil rights.

12  We’re all influenced by our environment, but to what extent? The nurture concept of homosexuality argues that social, parental ad environmental variables influence a person’s homosexuality. A nurtured gay person is one who is, through experience, made gay.  For some time the notion of an overbearing mother or an absent father or even sexual abuse were thought to be a catalyst of future gay people. If the root of homosexuality does not lie within the DNA, what does the nurture concept imply?
