- I would like to know whether the idea of nature and nurture is
impacted when a child lacks both parents (and how big of an
impact is it)
- I would like to know whether an individual’s nurture specifically is
caused more by the parents/caregivers or society
- I would want to know whether nature can be stopped, in any sort
of way, to discontinue certain (once learned) aspects and
behaviours to be transmitted genetically
- I would like to know if nature/nurture can in fact cause trauma,
and if so, can the generational trauma be stopped from recurring
- I would want to find out if abusers are nurtured to abuse others or
if they are born with the pleasure of harming individuals
- I would like to know if the real reason abusers/sociopaths hurt
and emotionally/physically abuse others is because they were
abused and harmed as well
- I would like to know if there are any solutions and/or help that
could be provided to overcome toxic learned generational
behaviours and traits
