Briefly describe the nature versus nurture debate.Provide an argument that behavioural differences,if they do exist,are due to how individuals are socialized.

According to the nature side of the debate,genes play the biggest role in human behaviour.Evolutionary theory is used to provide support for the role of biology.Also,this side of the debate suggests that the fittest individuals survive,which assures that the best and strongest genes pass from one generation to the next.Alternately,sociologists focus on the socializing process throughout the life course,whereby individuals learn culture,develop personalities,and become functioning members of society.Students could discuss how socializing agents socialize individuals into different roles and expectations,which in turn affect how behaviours vary.Students might also discuss the development of the self by referring to the work of Cooley,Mead,etc.Lastly,students might mention the text's discussion of feral children.
