Nature vs. Nurture

     Nature vs. Nurture is a term known as a debate in order to determine behavioral traits. It refers to what traits does a person come with since they were born, and what traits develop in a person based on his or her environment. The first person to use this term was an English Victorian polymath known as Francis Galton. Common topics discussed in this debate include homosexuality, criminality, personalities, talents, anger, happiness etc. Topics like this are not one-hundred percent sure to come from either nature or nurture. This debate is very complex and difficult to understand and after all, it may always be a mystery if any of traits come from the environment, or hereditary. What is believed about this debate, is that although no one can't ever be sure, it's a fact that both nature and nurture play a part. I believe if I would choose one of the themes because I think it is more rational and true, I would choose nurture. Yes our nature can determine our height, eye color, hair color and many more physical traits. But, behavior I believe comes on how the environment influences the particular person. As this person lives more time, his personality, way of thinking, and behavior is influenced by nurture. To conclude, this is a debate to complex to understand but I believe Nurture plays a much bigger part on a person's behavior than nature.
