-Extreem to both sides of the debate, which has negative implications -Nativists usggest that genes determine behaviour which leads to controvsery, for example eugenics policies in 1920's US when peopel were steralised if they were deemed a drain on society: low IQ and mentally ill -Empricits suggest behaviour is influenced by the enviornemtn - in the exreme, principles can be used to manipualte 'undesirable' behaviour, eg: converison theroapy in 1960's UK when LGBT people were given elecctric shocks to shop the 'unnatural behaviour' -Both sides of the debate can be seen as hard deterministic views which can be used to control society.
