DISCUSS PERSONALITY AND ITS ORIGIN
ReplyDeletePERSONALITY: FROM NATURE OR NURTURE
Today, everybody has different personalities; some people could be introvert or extrovert. People show different behavior in front of situations or in front of other people, it depends of their personality. In my case, I think I have some characteristics as an introvert person, because I try to be quiet and I am interested in feelings.
In addition, to me is important to know few people, but well, I don’t wish to know so much false people, only people that give me a sincere friendship. I think that friendships are very important in the way that the friends are not self-interested about me.
Also, some experts about our human condition and our personality discuss about the personality’s origin, they think that some babies are born without personality, and through the environment, the family, the context and the education. In this case, the personality is building through the “nurture school”.
In the other hand, other experts think that the personality is building through the parents, by genetics, in this case, the baby is born with a particular personality. In this case, I think that I was born with a particular personality and also the environment has built a personality with me. I think I am very serious about my decisions and about my selects.
1. My personality’s definition is the particular behavior and conduct of people, each one has a different behavior with the context and with the other people.
2. I had not wished to have a different personality, because I think is important to be different and not to be a copy of another person.
3. I think that the personality cannot change, but some behaviors or attitudes can change in front of some people or context.
4. Yes, I do. I think that our personality depends of the genetic but also, our context helps to build it. The family, the education, the society and/or the friends build our behavior.
PERSONALITY: NATURE OR NURTURE
ReplyDeleteThe human being since his appearance has been identified for be a sentimental person with ideas, thoughts and emotions that characterize him and that always are subjected to his behavior; therefore the personality is a series of conducts and psychological characteristics that identify him, it come since our birth and are going to strengthen when we interact with people from our environment.
We can find different personalities that can please us or on the contrary reject them; it depends also of our personality. I think that I have an introvert personality, I am not very open to new people in my life, I am a person of few friend and I spend much time to have a sincerely friendship, but when I have a real friend, I care much.
I think that i have a personality that defines me and i do not want to change it but i have to improve some attitudes that I do not like. The personality can change because of context or another factors, but not if it is strong and persistent against them.Finally, I think that the genetic and the context where we are, influence us in greatly in the creation of the characteristics and feelings that define us.
I think that I am a little extrovert and a little introvert, because I enjoy being in a group, but sometimes, I like being alone. I usually talk without thinking, and in the other hand, sometimes I keep my ideas to myself. I am self-critical; I always feel that I should do better. And also I think that I can be lovable one minute and revel the next. I like go out to walk alone, I find it relaxing, and I am so happy being with my pet, because it is so cute.
ReplyDelete1. My definition of personality is: it is the behavior that the people has all time, but is very difficult to define really the people´s personality, because, for example I am like a mixture of patterns of behavior.
2. No, I am very happy being like I am.
3. No, I think that any person can change its personality, because it is something own.
4. Yes, the people always are influenced by their environment and for the way that their parents bring up them.
Personality: Nature or Nurture.
ReplyDeleteI've always thought that personality is a way of guiding our knowledge and add it to our actions, it's (for me) the relationship between troubles and our solutions, all the people has an only and different and behavior.
Changes in our personality are possible i think, it's not easy but it's possible when we want to improve; everything begins if we recognize a problem with us, then we begin to want doing changes
Sometimes we don't know how we are ourselves, the other person can see our true personality, but I'm comfortable with my personality, maybe I have two personalities, one of them is my personality when I'm in my city, and the other one is my personality in the university, I know I'm different here but I'm good with my two way of behavior. Okay, I think that the nurture in infancy is the most important aspect, the people has troubles of their childhood and many behaviors are connected with this age, things that we saw, we heard, we thought, our family environment, then all stages of a person influence her behavior, with friends, with your classmates, with all her relationships and ways to cope with life's problems.
Personality: From Nature OR Nurture
ReplyDeleteI think personality is what define us like people, because personality is about our gifts and defects, the way we talk the way we express in front every one else are parts important about our personality. there are situations where we use to show our personality, and demostrate our behavior in front diferent spaces, because like no everyone has the same personality the reaction will be different in front each experience.
in my case, i consider myself as a calm person, i like to have good relationships with the people around.
i think a very important topic about personality is that we all, as human beings most learn to coexist with all the types of personalities and be tolerant in front all the differents way of thinking.
1. the personality is the combination of characteristics or qualities that form an individual’s distinctive character.
2. i thing everyone has defects, but i find very comfortable with my personality and i would not change it, because is like change an important part of everything that i am.
3. I think we can try to improve somethings about our personality but not really change it because it would be like change and arm or some part of our body,and that is not okay.
4. i think that nature and nurture are connected each other because you can born with some qualities but if your family does not grow them is like you were born with nothing.
According to the text personality: from nature or nature? For me our personality is a result of the environment; our family, our culture, our friends but also the personality is determined by “inherit” from our parents, I think I am an introvert person; I am more emotional, I am a person who gets depressed easily, sometimes I am felling blue because I have some problems and maybe for that reason I am an introvert person because I am thinking in all things, people, environment around me and how they affect my life; but sometimes I am an extrovert person I like talk with the people around me and I enjoy it.
ReplyDelete1. About my definition of personality I think personality is a manner or style of behavior, but it is determined by our environment, our culture, our family but also the personality is determined by inherits from our parents and for that reason we are a result of these characteristics.
2. Sometimes I think in my personality and how affect my life and I do not wish have a different personality, sometimes I think my personality make me feel good but the most important thing about my personality is the manner that I feel with people around me.
3. I think I can change my personality but I don’t prefer that because I like each thing in my life and I prefer think to be a better person every day.
4. Yes, I think nature and nature both influence a person’s personality because in our life we are surrounded most people, different environments, culture, education, the society and for that reason can influence in our personality besides “inherit” from our parent can make us like them, but Is our environment; our likes and dislikes, our culture, that determined the behavior and the manner that we feel and I think.
Personality: nature or nurture
ReplyDeleteFirst of all that is a useful topic and everyone has to read it because we know when we talk about personalities but we don’t used to learn the definition, I think the personality is a combination of the emotions, actions and behaviors that people has in different spaces or places, or simply people don’t act in the same way all time, they act as the situation and if they feel comfortable.
1. The personality is the behavior that each people has in different situations and it can be a mixture of emotions and actions, and the other people can judge my personality depending of bad and good things that have been imposed for the society.
2. I wouldn’t have a different personality because for example I’m a little shy sometimes but when we feel comfortable in some situation I can talk and feel good, I wished improved do things without think because I used to do that but everyone has own personality and it defined humans beings.
3. Sometimes we wish to improve our personality or act like other person but we can’t change, we can improve the bad actions and reflect about behaviors.
4. The both terms defined personality because I think everyone born with a defined personality and in the past of years depending of the context , family and other things it can improve and add other best behaviors.
Personality. Nature y nurture
ReplyDeleteWell, I think we have to consider many aspects of life when we want to talk about personalities. We can act in a way when we are with, for example, our family; and we act in a different way when we are with our friends. But all of this depends on our nurture. If my parents taught me something of valour was that we simply do not mess people with thing they don't care about, like my problems, maybe I can feel kind of secure by telling my problems to some friends. But, most of the times I do not do that, I think my troubles are mine and I don't have to bother other people with my problems because they have their own preocupations. I don't like being questioned. Sometimes people start to ask and ask and ask questions about my life, my experiences, where I have been, what I have done, what my behavior facing situations of life really is. I think those questions have no answer. The question will be solved by the time, if you share enough time with a person, that person is going to know you even better that you ever will. Sadly, the truth is this: Our friends think they know how we are, but even we don't really know how we are. In fact, our personality is defined by our pesonal experiences, we were not born with a personality. It's formed by what we had, what we did, who we lived with, what we have lived.
I don't believe when somebody says to me that she/he does not like liers or lies, because everybody lies all the time. We have to consider what we really want in life, and our behavior should help to reach our goals.
I think that would be all.
Thanks.
1. I think “personality” is the main characteristic of a person because it shows how the person is and how that person acts in his daily life. The personality defines the person.
ReplyDelete2. I think no, because it would become in a problem, actually there is an illness named multiple personality or bipolarity and it is so serious, the people who suffer this illness have a lot of problems and their relationships become difficult. Nowadays there are many people who say to be sick of bipolarity, but, regrettable the most of them are confused with hypocrisy so we should to be very careful about it.
3. Maybe, but not in a complete way, because the personality is my essence. When I know someone I can change the way I behave, but as time passes my real personality is going to appear and the same thing happens with the other people.
4. i agree with nurture school because when we were child, we learnt from our environment and the people around us, for instance, we have many characteristics of people around us for instance of our parents, but we looked for other possibilities of act we discover new things and we built our own personality based on our environment, but this process is different for each person, for these reason we are not same.
Personality: From Nature or Nurture
ReplyDeletePersonality is about emotional and behavioral pattern, it means a style of behavior, thoughts, and emotions. This is influence by context.
There are a lot of theories about personality origin, for example, the nurture school. It means the environment; culture, family, friends and experiences are related with the personality development. Another theory is the nature. It says the genetics make personality; so, babies are born with a defined personality from their parents.
I think that my personality is because education from my family, the good example of my parents, from my school, from my experience, in short because the context in which I live. I was the only child in my family until I was ten years old, for that I was practically alone and I only socialized with other children in the school. I guess for that reason I am an introvert person. I am not so popular and I don´t have a lot of friends. I like to meet new people but I do not trust easily. I don´t like to talk about myself a lot. I am self-critical. However I like to listen to other people and help them if I can. Also, I am so respectful with people, I don´t like to use swear words.
1. Personality is the style of behavior of an individual. It includes emotions, thoughts, aptitudes and decisions of a person in different situations of life.
2. Yes, I do. I would like to be less shy because sometimes I don´t express my thoughts or feelings when I want to do it. However, this can be an advantage because not all people have right to know what I think and how I feel.
3. I don´t know. I think personality is the mark of each one, and we need to change nothing.
4. I think the nurture influence the personality of an individual because children learn from their experiences and their environment.
Personality: Nature or nurture
ReplyDelete1. What is your definition of personality?
first of all, i think that personality is the set about feeling, conducts, emotions, attitudes and habits of each person, but these behaviors change according certain situations.
2. Do you sometimes wish you had a different personality?
yes, because sometimes i think, i I'm naive or easily manipulated person, for this reason i would want to be stronger.
3. Do you think you can change your personality?
Maybe, i can to change my personality, because sometimes I let myself be influenced by people or situations.
4. Do you think nature and nurture both influence a person's personality? In what ways?
Yes, because through nurture the person is molding the behavior, for example, when a person recives new knowledge, the person can create ideologies and thinking, he changes the behavior.
I think that is very difficult describe myself, but I would say that my personality is extroverted because I am happy about meeting new people and having friends, I love spending time with the people who are important for me, I feel sad about loneliness, and I enjoy sharing time with people in social events, in the other hand I need to meet very well a person for be a real friend, but I like listening and helping people, I am a very impulsive person, but I try to think before talking, I like the honesty and I hate the people who have two different personalities for each moment, I hate the unsteadiness people, for that reason sometimes I apologize for be very honest with people and say all the things I dislike about them, I express my opinion openly. I’m crazy about dancing and do funny activities I am an active person, however I like having time to think in myself and reflect about my life, so I love see the blue sky and lose myself in my thoughts, I’m not care for future I try to live each moment of my life, I think that all the things have a time. I believe in the power of a smile because I think that even though problems my life is amazing and I never would change it, I get angry easily but I try to keep calm and continue living.
ReplyDelete1. I don't have a clear idea about personality meaning but i think that personality are the different feelings, emotions, activities, actitudes and behavior that each person have and practice in the live, and those things defining people.
2. No, I think that I am not a perfect person, and I am not trying to be one, I agree with my life and I accept my personality, I think that the important thing is just have a defined personality, accept it and improve every single day.
3. I think that I can not change my personality, but I think that the idea is try to defined my personality and accept it, and then try to use it in a right way for living my life.
4. yes, I think that personality is a mix between nature or nurture, because first ome times que have some behavior or actitude that is like our parents and that kind of things are in our genetics parts, and in the other hand all the things that we live help to defined our personality.
thanks

ReplyDeleteTo start, I want to say what mean to me “the personality”, I think that the people are defined by their actions, by their words and by small details, such as how they act in front of their family, their friends and what they thinks of themselves.
ReplyDeleteNo, I never wanted to be different or have different personality. I think that part of having personality is learning to know you and accept yourself.
I really don’t know, I think there are certain things that can be changed or can be learned. Personality is something that characterizes one of the other, it's like the essence.
yeah, I think that both factors influence the lifestyle of a person, one is because the way that we learning and the other is like the way we grew up learning, there are certain things that come from home, and both strengthen the character.
I think… My personality is outgoing, sociable, cheerful lazy, friendly, short-tempered, affectionate, close to my family and always want everyone to be good. I always like to help.
Thanks! :D
I think I am an extrovert person because I am very happy and sociable, when I know new people I am a little shy but after a time when there is more trust, I am very friendly and funny but I guess I speak so much and I joked too (this is bad but this is me) and I like to be in company or alone because I like to share little moments with my friends, and family but I love to be alone with myself. I do not show when I'm cranky because the most of the time I am cheerful (sometimes this is bad).
ReplyDelete1. What is your definition of personality?
I guess the personality is determined by "nature" and "nurture" because there are many babys who are sad, shy, happy or angry since they born but with the time they learn new things whit their family and friends so I thing the personality is the behavior of each person to do many things, the temperament and the behavior to be related with others.
2. Do you sometimes wish you had a different personality?
yes,because I think I not say the things that bother me for fear to hurt someone, so, I wish to be most honest.
3. Do you think you can change your personality?
no, because I have tried but it is so difficult to me, because I feel bad when I try to be direct with other person and I try to be less cheerful and joker but I can not.
4. Do you think nature and nurture both influence a person's personality? In what ways?
as I said I guess both things are very important to form a personality, I think both are necessaries.
