Nature Versus Nurture

For many year’s people have been trying to determine if nurture has a bigger impact on individuals or if nature does. Many people cannot decide because both aspects play a role in making us the person we are today. Nurture is the ability for us to be loved and given the opportunity to grow and develop. If we did not have nurture in our lives we would not be able to grow, and we would not be able to understand the concept of caring or loving someone. This is a key part of child development. Nature is the ability for are biological traits to influence who we are as a person. This is why many people believe that nature plays a bigger role. Until we understand which characteristics come from what we will never be able to understand which is more

It is obvious that we need both to survive because without genetics we would not be living, and without social interaction we would be depressed. Therefore, we need some type of interaction with humans to fill the void of being alone. This interaction helps others find their true self because of the lessons they learn from their peers and the rules their parents teach them. As a result, to have a flourishing life others must have some type of interaction so they can be taught how to act, to speak, and to treat others. It is proven that when babies are born they need the interaction so they can start to develop a sense of the language. If we did not have nurture, we would be left with no culture and language. In order to have an identity we need to be in culture and to have a culture we need people to teach us the ends and outs about life. In the end, we need both, but nurture affects us every day because we interact with others whether that be talking face to face or scrolling through the
