INQUIRY  NATURE V NURTURE

Think about the brainpop videos you have been watching and doing activities about. What are you thinking determines personality? Do you think your genes are mostly responsible, or has your upbringing played a more significant role? How much do your friends and peer pressure influence your personality? Answer the following either in a shared google doc or your inquiry book.

1: Are your personality traits similar to those of your parents? Make a list of the traits you share with your mother and those you share with your father ( or someone close you live with).

2. Do you sometimes think that you "can't help" the way you respond to certain situation? For example, do you find yourself always wanting to be on time for school events? Is this behaviour like that of one of your parents? Do you see "nature" winning out in this example? Can you think of similar examples? Can you think of situation in which "nurture" seems to win out?

3. Do your friends influence your behavior? If so how? Try to be as specific as you can.

4. Are you influenced by what you see and hear in the media? Describe the impact this has on you.

5. Are you influenced by a special adult in your life, such as a relative, a teacher, or a youth leader? How has that person helped shape your personality?
