Weekly Writing 2 (second draft)--Walter

Nature can be explained as affects before birth, and nurture often influences human after birth. This essay will outline the nature which influences human development by genetic way. Then, it will discuss the effects of nurture to early human development after birth. Furthermore, it will argue that nurture strongly influences early human development more than nature.

Nature often influences human development from the genetic way, because human fetus develops within the mother’s body. Firstly, nature may cause some genetic disease. For instance, if the mother contracts some illness such as German measles, may bring on her newborn some genetic illness as deaf, blind, even brain-damaged. Secondly, nature is the reason of some fetus’ abnormal maturation. For example, some of mother’s unhealthy habits such as smoking can result in abnormal maturation. It argued the affects of nature were almost from the genetic way.

Reversely, nurture influences human development after birth. Firstly, the postnatal education influences a child’s normal development. For example, children reared in San Marcos begin their first word later than those who in middle-class American homes for nearly half a year because of much less verbal interaction with adults Secondly, living environment also affects a child’s grow up, even the future of the child. The affection of the environment was a specific factor. So nurture seems so important for early human development.

Moreover, the environmental factors can affect the normal maturation of the fetus. At first, human nature is almost completely malleable during his or her infancy. Then there are many experiments aimed at twins. They are treated in different environments, different education and people around. Subsequently, they become greatly different.

In conclusion, nurture influences early human development stronger than nature. Nature influences human only before birth, but nurture may influence a person’s whole life. Only when they are accordant can human development become successful.
