Although our opinions and thoughts may come from being exposed to our parents' opinions, I feel that Nature is more powerful than nurture. As a baby, we are born with the incredible knowledge of how to find a breast or how to cry for our parents, so we are not a completely "blank slate". In addition, the twins also demonstrated how strong nature can be by the habits that they have even though they were raised separately. Good references with the twins Mary, that makes a good argument for the nurture, which I agree with! |

While this does support your theory, it does not prove that nature has a very significant impact on a person's life. [/b] Josh, you need to explain WHY... [/quote] I said this due to the fact that, Ryan, in his initial response, stated that the evidence proved the side of nature. My response was to just let him know that, through his wording, he was implying that the evidence to support the nature side, specifically the fraternal twins, 100% proved as opposed to supported it. |

While basic talents as well as the similarities seen between fraternal twins do support the side of nature, I believe that, through ideas such as Watson's infant experiment, parenting, and personal experience, nurture holds a greater hold over our personality traits and behavior. With this, though, I still do believe that nature holds some grasp over our abilities, talents, and traits as infants and shape our early years. Can you further explain your beliefs? Most of my beliefs come from my own personal experience, whereas I've had many major changes in my life of my personality and behavior based on changes in my environment . |
