Nature Vs Nurture
Nature vs nurture is a classic debate between what drives a person's actions and behavior. Those who believe in nature feel that a person is born into all of their characteristics, habits, mindsets and actions in life. Everything is predetermined and no matter how much a person tries to change, nature will always reign. Someone who believes in nurture feels like a person can be persuaded and influenced by their environment. Environment includes the people around you, your neighborhood and things you see and hear on a normal basis.
