Nature vs Nurture

    Nature versus Nurture is a term that was first used by the English Victorian polymath Francis Galton who was born the 16th of February 1822. Nature versus Nurture states whether a person’s behavior or ideas comes from their genetics or surroundings. Its theory debates whether an individual’s quality (nurture, nativism, and innate) or an experience (nurture, empiricism, and behaviorism) determines your differences in your physical and individual traits.
    The overall belief of this topic has not yet been decided. Some scientists believe that an individual’s personality depends on its genetics, or in the environment and daily surroundings. They are debating whether one or the other is correct, but scientists do know that both of them have a role in our lives.  In my opinion it is really hard to decide whether our actions and personality comes from our genetics or from our surroundings. If I would have to choose I would say that both have an important part. Your personality can be the same as your parents or your grandparents, but being with the same people and environment can also form your personality. Nature versus Nurture is a great topic that was discovered in the 13th century and yet, has not been decided today.
