Nature vs. Nurture

Nature Versus nurture is a nonstop scientific debate about what really influences humans…their genetics (or nature) or their environment (their nurture). The first scientist to come up with this term was by English Victorian Polymath Francis Galton. He was influenced by the book The Origin of Species wrote by Charles Darwin, his cousin. The topics regarding Nature versus Nurture are endless some like: intelligence, homosexuality, personality, ability to sports etc. My belief in taking part of this debate is that how we behave and what we do in life is due to what we are surrounded because if we never where exposed to some kind of experience in life we would not be able to portray it. Like people love to imitate Hollywood stars we are what we are because of our surroundings.

I think that this debate should end. Even though scientists come up with more proof that we are all genetic it would be impossible because there is already a bigger proof of nurture. There are twins that have been studied. Twins are genetically identical but their personality traits are completely different. This would be the biggest proof to the world that our personality and ability traits come completely by our experiences in our environment.
