NCOFI

The NCOFI framework helps us understand how different perspectives approach questions about human behavior.
Nature vs Nurture: This considers whether our behavior is primarily shaped by our genes (nature) or our environment (nurture).
Conscious vs Unconscious: This examines how much of our behavior is driven by our aware thoughts and feelings (conscious) versus those that operate below the surface (unconscious).
Observable vs Internal: This explores how we can measure and observe behavior (observable) versus the internal thoughts and feelings that drive it (internal).
Free Will vs Determinism: This debate centers on whether we have free will and agency over our actions or if our behavior is preordained by factors beyond our control.
Individual vs Universal: This considers the nature of human behavior: is it primarily unique to each individual or are there commonalities across all humans?
