It is also explained that human behavior has attributes, which are then explained
in three views. Nativism emphasizes the role of inheritance in explaining the origin

of human behavioral attributes. So in other words, human behavior is influenced
by the genetic inheritance it has. While the view of empiricism emphasizes the role
of experience in human attributes, such as parenting and the environment. The
view that then appears as an intermediary is convergent which assumes that
humans and their behavior consist of endogenous and exogenous. Endogenous
which emphasizes humans have innate since birth, and exogenous which
emphasizes experience and education.

It can be concluded that humans are the most perfect and dynamic creatures
whose development and behavior are influenced by internal and external factors.
Internal factors are congenital and genetic from birth and external factors are
environment and parenting that are experienced as an experience.
