I agree with you; it is the thing with every young being; he/she/it learns from others, whether it is someone he/she/it knows or not.SophiaNd wrote: ↑13 Apr 2020, 10:13 I believe Tau was influenced more by nurture. Being made in a Lab, Tau is likened to a new born baby who does everything by emulation and by what he or she is being told to believe. Whatever Tau did or believed was more as a result of nurture from Kalin and yes, he would have discovered what want is but that would be much later when he must have come in contact with another being to tell him otherwise.

I agree that the idea of nature vs nurture is pretty interesting. I have been under the impression from person experience that how we were born and how we were raised both affects how we "turn out" in the end. That's why this book's premise is so intriguing!B Creech wrote: ↑12 Apr 2020, 08:05Nature vs Nurture has always fascinated me. I like to ponder which is the most dominant in a person and I usually always lean more toward nurture. I am a believer that we are primarily a product of our environment. That being said, I believe we are all born with wants and needs, however, we are mostly taught our needs outweigh our wants. As for Tau, I think he would have continued obeying what he'd been taught instead of wondering about what he wanted because his wants were not acknowledged by the scientists. I think it was nurture that made him the way he is now due to Kalin pursuing the subject with him.funninessishappiness wrote: ↑11 Apr 2020, 22:52 As we all know, Tau was created in a lab. Therefore, before Kalin, everything he knew was from the lab. One of the first things that Kalin asked Tau was "What about what you want to know." This causes Tau to ponder on the meaning of want. Before Kalin ever entered the picture do you think Tau would have eventually figured out what want is? Do you think want is a human emotion that would show itself regardless of the environment? Or do you think want is more of a social phenomenon that only occurs when others show you what you don't have? To put it simply, do you think it was nature or nurture that lead to the way Tau is now?

In the long run I believe both nature and nurture play a roll in how we turn out. I think it depends on the individual personality of a person as to which one plays the biggest roll. Two people can react to an identical situation in totally different ways.reneelu1998 wrote: ↑21 May 2020, 14:51I agree that the idea of nature vs nurture is pretty interesting.

I agree. I've seen some studies too, but also every day, more than ever, scientists point to how determining genetics (or nature, in this case) can be. So, I'm truly confused!raindropreader wrote: ↑14 Apr 2020, 16:45 From what I know of social psychology, we humans can be made to want and to be believe things that we never would had it not been for the social conditioning. I never underestimate the power of social conditioning. Therefor I have to believe that he wouldn’t have searched or wanted for more- that he would’ve believed what the scientists told him.

I agree, I think that to want is a part of human nature. Now, what you can want changes based on the situation. Some wants can be basic like a want for a warmer blanket in the cold or so much more complex based on your own situation, but even people in the worst situations can still want.Northernbird84 wrote: ↑27 Apr 2020, 07:07 I think want comes from the nature aspect. There is always something inside us longing for something. Love, intimacy, survival, procreation. I think it's innate. Nature vs nurture is a really fascinating subject. Great question to ask!
