This document discusses the ongoing debate between nature (innateness/heredity) and nurture (environmental influences) in human development. It provides an overview of the nature vs. nurture perspectives and defines key terms. The author then discusses specific issues in the debate like language acquisition and intelligence. While few take extreme positions, most experts agree both nature and nurture play a role, though recent surveys show more believe nurture has a greater influence. The document raises questions about implications for education and classroom management.

Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory
Does society or culture have an impact on child development? Of course! Each individual has a different religious, ethnic, and economic background. Since all of those factors influence our development, there has been a rise in research studies that address the cultural context of children’s lives. Researchers are examining the effect of culturally specific beliefs and practices on development.
Sociocultural theory, developed by Lev Vygotsky, focuses on how culture is transmitted to the next generation. Vygotsky believed that social interaction with more knowledgeable members of society is necessary for children to develop the ways of thinking and behaving that comprise a community’s culture. He saw cognitive development as a socially mediated process in which children depend on assistance from peers and adults as they take on new challenges. One additional discovery of cross-cultural research is that each individual culture may emphasize different tasks for childr
Ecological Systems Theory
Urie Bronfenbrenner (1917–2005) posited that our environment, consisting of our home, school, neighborhood, and beyond, is a series of structures that form a system. Each layer of that system interacts with the others and has a powerful impact on development. According to Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory, children develop within this complex system of relationships and are affected by multiple levels of the surrounding environment.

An Illustration of Ecological Systems Theory: The Transition to Siblinghood
The early weeks after a new baby enters the family are full of profound changes. While the arrival of a newborn sibling is a normative life event for many children, the transition to siblinghood can result in a mixture of positive and negative emotions. Some children welcome the new arrival, while others experience a developmental setback in a specific area like toilet training. Volling (2005) provides a developmental ecological systems approach to examine changes in both child and family functioning that occur with the birth of a new baby.
‹ 1/5 ›
Significant changes occur within the immediate family (microsystem). Because the mother may spend most of the early weeks after the birth caring for the newborn, the quality of the father–child relationship may be particularly important for sibling adjustment.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Overview
• A significant issue in
developmental psychology is the
relationship between innateness
and environmental influence in
regard to any particular aspect of
development. This is often referred
to as "nature vs. nurture" or
nativism versus empiricism.
3. The NATURE versus NURTURE
debate continues as one of the
oldest, controversial yet
interesting issues in the field of
psychology. The battle of the
mind centers on the relative
contributions of heredity (nature)
versus environment (nurture) to
human development.
4. WHAT IS NATURE /NURTURE?
Nature refers to
all of the genes
and hereditary
factors that
influence who we
are – from our
physical
appearance to our
personality
characteristics.
Nurture refers to all
the environmental
variables that impact
who we are,
including our early
childhood
experiences, how
we were raised, our
social relationships,
and our surrounding
culture.
5. Quoting from the blog of
anonymous someone about the
above issue, he says that;
“Personality is nature while
behavior is nurture. The
combination of characteristics or
qualities that form an individual's
distinctive character is the what
the dictionary define as personality.
Personality therefore is a
characteristic or an individual's
6. Everyone is unique and it is
the personality that either
defines or defies the
person. The way in which
one acts or conducts
oneself, especially toward
others is what Webster
defines as behavior.
7. You may be the cheapest person in
the world as it is in your blood
and your personality, but you could
behave yourself in a certain way to
display to others that you are quite
generous. You may a kind-
hearted person deep down inside,
but you display yourself in a
certain way that might seems mean
to other people.
8. To say the least, personality
(nature) is something that
defy who you are as you are
born with it, but the way you
act might not display your
full personality and that is
when behavior (nurture)
plays a role.”
9. WHAT ARE THE ISSUES?
• A nativist
account of
development
would argue that
the processes in
question are
innate, that is,
they are specified
by the organism's
genes.
An empiricist
perspective
would argue that
those processes
are acquired in
interaction with
the environment.
10. Timeline
• Today developmental psychologists
investigate, among many other
things, the relationship between
innate and environmental
influences. One of the ways this
relationship has been explored in
recent years is through the
emerging field of evolutionary
developmental psychology.
11. TIMELINE
• Today, the majority of experts
believe that both NATURE and
NURTURE influence behavior and
development. However, the issue
still rages on in many areas such
as in the debate on the origins of
homosexuality and influences on
intelligence.
12. While few people take the
extreme nativist or radical
empiricist approach,
researchers and experts
still debate the degree to
which biology and
environment influence
behavior.
13. • According to the recent
social survey, at least
around 74% believe that
NURTURE has a greater
influence. Only 26% believe
that NATURE has a greater
influence in human
development.
14. OPPOSING SIDES
• One area where this innateness
debate has been prominently
portrayed is in research on
language acquisition. A major
question in this area is whether or
not certain properties of human
language are specified genetically
or can be acquired through
learning
15. OPPOSING VIEWS
• The empiricist position on the issue of
language acquisition suggests that the
language input provides the necessary
information required for learning the
structure of language and that infants
acquire language through a process of
statistical learning. From this
perspective, language can be acquired
via general learning methods that also
apply to other aspects of development,
such as perceptual learning.
16. DEVELOP YOUR POSITION
• The nativist position argues that the
input from language is too
impoverished for infants and children
to acquire the structure of language.
Linguist Noam Chomsky asserts that,
evidenced by the lack of sufficient
information in the language input, there
is a universal grammar that applies to
all human languages and is pre-
specified
17. DEVELOP YOUR POSITION
• This has led to the idea that there
is a special cognitive module
suited for learning language, often
called the language acquisition
device. Chomsky's critique of the
behaviorist model of language
acquisition is regarded by many as
a key turning point in the decline in
the prominence of the theory of
behaviorism generally.
18. DEVELOP YOUR POSITION
• But Skinner's conception
of "Verbal Behavior" has
not died, perhaps in part
because it has generated
successful practical
applications.
19. PERSONAL POSITION
As for me, I would agree to
the recent survey that
they are both influential
with a higher degree to
NURTURE or environment.
Peer pressure has a
greater bait indeed.
20. QUESTIONS FOR THE
PARTICIPANTS
• QUESTION #1. What about your
position on the above current
debate on NATURE
(Heredity/Personality) versus
NURTURE
(Environment/Behavior)?
21. QUESTION # 2
Aware of the result of
the social survey, what
is the implication of it in
relation to classroom
management?
22. QUESTION # 3
FOR THE PARTICIPANTS
Does the result of the
survey imply that
teachers (nurture) have
more influence to the
students than their
parents (nature)?
23. QUESTION # 4
Is my own way of
handling
the students on target to the
attainment of the DepEd
mission for quality education
and global competitiveness?
26. Matsy’s rich engagement in
classroom teaching and
actual involvement in language
conferences within and out of the
country being both as a participant
and as a presenter has provided her
the necessary tool to adapt and
to put ablazed the gist of a “Whole
Langauge Approach” of which the
DepEd K-12 curriculum patronizes.
