Nature Vs Nurture

Nature vs Nurture

Being yourself, being who you are. When you hear those two lines you may think they mean the same thing but do they? Think about

it, you were born into this world a tiny little baby with no ideas, or preferences, but as you grew you developed a personal identity, but did it

really develop or was it in you to begin with. Such questions are what leads to the great debate of nature vs nurture. If you believe you were

couldnt have been imbedded in your genes that you\\\\\\\'d like it.

Scientists make a good point about genes but I believe physical aspects come through genetics, but that personality development is shaped

based solely on how a person has been nurtured through
