Nature vs. Nurture Position Paper STEP ONE: The authors of the textbook introduce the debate between the role of nature (i.e., the influence of genetics and the presence of certain innate qualities) and nurture (i.e., the importance of experience on knowledge acquisition). In your position paper, address is you feel nature or nurture more strongly influences our preferences, personality makeup, intelligence, etc. Provide an example from your life experience(s) to support your assertion. STEP TWO: After you decide, review the twin research by Thomas Bouchard of the University of Minnesota. Studies of twins reared apart provide a fascinating introduction to the complex interplay between nature and nurture. He studied identical twins separated at or shortly after birth and then reared apart, often with no knowledge that their twin even existed. Because the twins were all identical twins, they share the same genetics, meaning that any differences in the behaviors under investigation are more attributable to environment (nurture) rather than genetics (nature). Bouchard located these separated twins as adults, and found remarkable similarities in certain areas, particularly with regard to personality and personal preferences. For a detailed description of the “Jim twins” and their amazing similarities, visit the Minnesota Center for Twin and Family Research at https://mctfr.psych.umn.edu/research/UM%20research.html. Also, it is strongly recommended that you watch Three Identical Strangers (available on Hulu with subscription and other streaming services as a rental). STEP THREE: In your position paper, address how the findings fit with the nature versus nurture controversy. Have your opinions shifted? Your Paper will be 1 ½ – 2 pages, 12 pt. font, with 1 inch margins. APA format is expected. As such, citations and corresponding references should be included.

Discussion: Assessing Suicide Risk As a social worker, you will likely at some point have a client with a positive suicide risk assessment. Many individuals with suicidal ideation also have a plan, and that plan may be imminent. Even when the risk is not urgent at a given moment, current research shows that most suicides occur within 3 months of the risk being assessed within a formal appointment. Ideation can quickly become suicide. For this Discussion, you view an initial suicide risk assessment. As you evaluate the social worker’s actions, imagine yourself in their place. What would you do, and why? To prepare:· Explore an evidence-based tool about suicide risk assessment and safety planning. See the Week 3 document Suggested Further Reading for SOCW 6090 (PDF) for a list of resources to review.· Watch the “Suicide Assessment Interview” segment in the Sommers-Flanagan (2014) video to assess how it compares to your findings.· Access the Walden Library to research scholarly resources related to suicide and Native American populations. Provide a discussion Post which contains the following topics, content, and headings: a response in which you address the following:· Identify elements of Dr. Sommers-Flanagan’s suicide risk assessment.· Describe any personal emotional responses you would have to Tommi’s revelations and reflect on reasons you might experience these emotions.· Describe the elements of safety planning that you would put in place as Tommi’s social worker in the first week and in the first months.· Identify a suicide risk assessment tool you would use at future sessions to identify changes in her risk level.
