Talk:Issues in Interdisciplinarity 2020-21/Truth in Personality

Today we have started discussing possible topics for our wikibooks chapter for the UCL module BASC0001. We decided that we will focus on Truth but we will carry out some more research before finalising our topic.

Our ideas are:

•	Truth in reality/Truth in consciousness

•	Truth in the bystander effect

•	Truth in the Nature nurture debate, understanding of personality.

•	Truth in abnormality: Autism, MDD, another specific disorder, general mental health

The disciplines we may focus on are:

•	Psychology

•	Philosophy

•	Anthropology

•	Biology

We have decided to focus on Truth in Personality: Nature/Nurture debate Today we discussed the potential structure of our wikichapter.

Introduction

Psychology: Discuss how psychology presents support both for the nature side of the debate and the nurture side of the debate.

Main Body

Biology: Present the view of Genetic Determinism in Biology

Anthropology/Sociology: Present the view for Nurture in personality.

Philosophy: As a subcategory to provide support for one argument (either to support the biological viewpoint or the anthropological/sociological)

Highlight interdisciplinary tensions

Where are there issues with the ways in which truth is obtained in these disciplines?

Conclusion

Epigenetics: A possible way to solve these interdisciplinary tensions. MM.Mar 08 (discuss • contribs) 13:30, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
