Nature vs. Nurture

This catchy term, “nature vs. nurture” is a way to interpret how much of our genetics were part of us since the day we were born and what other part was learned in our lives. This term was first used by Francis Galton in 1874. He said it in his work English Men of Science: Their Nature and Nurture. Some topics that are part of this debate are homosexuality and obesity. Some scientists say that both of these are hereditary but others say that the environment takes a huge role on it. Other topics come to mind like murderers. Also twins come into the debate. People study how twins develop when they are together and when they are separated. Many people go to the nature side of the debate but others prefer the nurture. In this case, there is no side that has any advantage since we gather from both to live our life. But as the scientists study more, they realize that either nature or nurture cannot make a good life out of someone of us. I believe that nature and nurture are needed to get a balanced life. With nature all alone, we could not develop our skills at the fullest. With nurture we could not have a start point.
