Good morning to lecture, and fellow my friends.

I am Deeviya a/p Eyamalay, from class T1

Pemulihan. This morning, I would like to talk about Intelligence As A Product Of Heredity Or
Environment
It is often difficult to separate the relative influences of heredity and environment on human
characteristics. People who have similar genetic makeup for example brothers and sisters,
parents and their children, typically live in similar environments as well. So when we see
similarities in IQ among members of the same family, it is hard to know whether those
similarities are due to the genes or to the environments that family members share.
If twins are raised together by the same parent(s) and in the same home, and so they share
similar environments as well as similar genes. Yet even when twins are raised separately
because they have been adopted or raised by different parents, they typically have similar IQ
scores too.
In my opinion social environment can also play an important role in the development of your
intelligence. Geniuses arent only born they can be made too. There are many different
environmental influences that have been found to shape intelligence. These influences
generally fall under two major categories: biological and sociocultural. Biological influences
act on the physical body, while sociocultural influences shape the mind and behavior of an
individual.
Biological influences include everything from nutrition to stress, and begin to shape
intelligence from prenatal stages onward. Nutrition has been shown to affect intelligence
throughout the human lifespan. Proper nutrition is especially critical in the early stages of life,
as it establishes a base-line for further intellectual development. Stress also plays a part in
human intelligence. Along with maternal age, stress can put undue pressure on the
development of a human body such that it can cause irreparable damage.
Sociocultural influences are much more fluid in nature. The most basic of these influences is
the family unit, or lack thereof, in which a child develops. Having an encouraging home-life
that is conducive to learning has a direct effect on intelligence test scores. A child's position
in birth order has also been found to influence intelligence. Moving outside of the family unit,
human beings are highly shaped by their respective peer groups.
So in my opinion, environment is the main factor that affect the intelligence. Geniuses arent
only born they can be made too. Thank you for listening patiently.
