Just as nature may give us an edge in a particular area, without nurture, that particular area will never be performed to its greatest ability. So despite the obvious influence that genes take on our ability to perform some task, the parental guidance has an unbelievable influence. The environment surrounding a person is a very real and very important factor in a child's personality and views. The same baby raised in two different environments will turn into two extremely different people. Sometimes the environment is downplayed a lot, because some assume that once a 'bad seed' is born it cannot be changed, but environment can have a big impact into developing the person's character a good environment can help a person to reflect on their actions and create a great change.
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. Nature, the more scientific theory of the two, is the belief that genetic qualities found in our genes make us who we are; believable but not very convincing when we consider the theory of nurture. Human beings learn new things every day, as soon as we come in to the world, our learning process begins. As a new-born baby, we slowly learn and adapt in order to survive in a new environment which is unlike that of our mothers' wombs, our first environment in which we first grew, adapted to and developed in. The home environment parents and siblings play a huge role in determining personality. Influences from outside the family are also very important to the development of one's personality. But everything starts at home. .
