Nature vs. nurture the great debate. Does the environment around you shape who you are or is it heredity that predetermines who you will be? Many argue that one tops the other but in my opinion both play crucial roles in shaping a person. Even if there was a break through that either nature or nurture was more influential they both play such huge roles that it wouldn't settle the debate. The nurture's argument is that the environment determines how a person will turn out so if they are raised in an environment filled with positive reinforcement they will turn out better than a person who was raised in an abusive house hold. Though on the other hand the very experience molds the person into who they will turn out to be, so they could potentially walk away from an abusive home and turn into well shaped people. On the other hand the nature's argument is that a person's genes is what determines who they will turn out to be so say they are raised by an abusive parent who's been to jail they are more prone to violence then someone who was raised by a successful intelligent parent. If I had to pick which argument played a more crucial role I would say nurture because the environment around them shapes who they will turn out and the person themselves can determine who they want to be.
