The social mind can be understood as both environmental as well as biological.  The reason why I say that it falls under both categories is because I strongly believe that your “nature” being the environment that you are brought up in,  as well as put in can have a significant effect on your social being. The “nurture” aspect of the mix is inherited, therefore I believe that your genetics can also play a significant role in your social personality.

For example, when speaking on the nature aspect of your social mind, if you were exposed to an environment or even raised in an environment that was rather social, it would be expected that you would be social. If your parents or family made it a point for you to go and make friends, you say hello because it is common courtesy , then your social mind makes it natural for you to be in social situations. In other words,  if being social was instilled in you from a young age, then that is when it becomes natural. On the flip side of that, if you were not raised in an environment that was social, then your social mind would not find it natural. This could possibly result in someone becoming an introvert or socially inept.

Nurture, on the other hand, also plays a crucial role in the social mind but it is something that isn’t necessarily controllable. In my opinion “nurture, “ means something that you are born with. For example,  a child can be raised with two extremely social parents, however, the child could be completely shy. To further this claim of being born with it, everyone is born with a different personality.

In conclusion, nature and nurture play major roles in the social mind. Personally I support both ends of the arguments. The atmospheres in which you surround yourself with as well as you innate personality characteristics help to shape one’s social mind.
