2. You can see the steps of
writing a compare and
contrast essay on the topic
“Nature vs. Nurture” below.

3. 1. Understanding and Explaining the
Practical Value of Making a
Comparative Analysis

4. Answer yourself the question:
“What is the practical value of
comparison the nature and
nurture theories of human
behavior?” It is not so difficult,
as you may expect!
To answer this question, you have
to brainstorm your experience.
Think carefully, have you ever
faced any situations or problems
where you were sure that
everything was lying in the power
of your nature / nurture?

5. This step is closely connected
with the previous one.
While giving an answer on the
question: “What is the practical
value of comparison the nature
and nurture theories of human
behavior?”, you understand
what your essay will be about.

6. Suppose your answer on the question
is like this: “Making a comparative
analysis of the nature and nurture
influence on a human life is necessary,
because it can solve many other
practical problems. As for me, I have
faced a problem: should school
teachers have monetary rewards for
their students high academic
performance?”
Thus, as you can guess, your compare
and contrast essay on the topic
“Nature vs. Nurture” will be chiefly
about the influence of genes vs. the
influence of environment on the
talented students high academic
performance.

7. 3. Giving Some General Information
Concerned with the Topic
Narrowing a topic to your own
interests doesn’t mean that you have
to avoid all the general facts connected
with your theme. Furthermore, you
need to write several sentences about
your issue on the whole.

8. For example, you may refer to the
beginning of the controversy among
naturalists and empiricists throughout
the history. Mention that according to
the mind of Jean Jacques Rousseau,
the nature has the strongest influence
on a human brain and behavior,
whereas John Lock states that our
thoughts and traits depend on our
experience exclusively.
You may also say that modern
psychologists stress that both
genetics and environment play an
important role in a human life.

9. 4. Proving Your Own Point of View and
Giving Some Examples according to Your
Interests (Experience)
After this, prove your own point of view in
the body paragraphs of your essay. You
should give bright examples from your own
experience, literature or history.
As you write about school teachers and
students, it is easier and more interesting
for you to refer to your own experience.
Here you can see two possible variants of
proving your own opinion.

10. The First Variant. The Nurture Theory of Human
Behavior
(According to the Empiricists’ Point of View)
If you are sure that our environment
is much more important, than our
genetics, you may write the following:
“ … To my mind, school teachers
should be rewarded for their students
high academic performance.
Recognizing a gift is a hard labor.
Thus, a student’s high academic
performance consists not only of the
talent of a child, but also of a work
and patience of a teacher. I’m grateful
to my teachers for my success…”

11. The Second Variant. The Nature Theory of Human
Behavior
(According to the Naturalists’ Point of View)
If you are a follower of naturalists, you may write
something like this: “… I am against of rewarding
school teachers for their students high academic
performance. I am also against of school teachers
being punished for their students low academic
performance. When I was a schoolboy, I used to
skip the lessons. However, now I realize that most
my teachers were real experts at their job. There
was no fault of theirs – it was because of my
genetics. You see, my father used to be a famous
truant in his childhood, my grandfather used to be
the same truant, and so am I. The director told off
my unfortunate teachers for nothing…”

12. 5. Writing a Conclusion
Summarize all the information and state what
is more important: nature or nurture. You may
also say that both genetics and environment
form a human’s personality.
