How does continuity v discontinuity affect nature v nurture?
Continuity v Discontinuity, a common psych argument, is basically the consistency of the human mind and personality. Basically in which was are we always the same (continuity) and in which ways are we always changing (discontinuity). This affects nature versus nurture because when thinking of what you naturally should be (nature) it should be consistent throughout your lifetime. What your environment has conditioned you to develop (nurture) is going to be discontinuous. An easy way to think of it is basically Nurture is like life lessons, as you have experienced different situations and explored the world you learn how to do things differently in different situations. Where as nature is basically what you’ve had since you were born.
