Nature: "Whole system of the existence, forces and events of the physical world that are not controlled by human beings. Fundamental or essential qualities of a person or thing."
Nurture: "Act or process of promoting the development of a child or young plant." I got the above definitions from my dictionary. Nature states that we act the way we do because of biological causes. Nurture states that we act the way we do because of the way we have been raised in society. I don't really know who to side with because I think they both take a part in how we are today. Although I mostly agree with nurture. So which one do you side with or agree with the most? |

QUOTE(wind&fire @ Nov 3 2005, 1:44 AM) it doesnt decide personality though does it? i could take indentical twins and raise one to hate a certain minority and raise the other in THAT minority... theyre not the same person... its nuture that decides who you are... no i saw this video and one twin was raised as a natzi and one was a jew in another country when then met that had the same habits, and likes and dislikes and even wore the same suit to meet eachother. |

QUOTE(RiC3xBoy @ Nov 6 2005, 7:40 PM) And that's why there's a balance, like Michael said earlier, in the nature vs nurture argument. But... are you asking if it's possible to develop perfect pitch in the right environment? |

QUOTE(RiC3xBoy @ Nov 6 2005, 7:40 PM) Yep! Definately possible, my music teacher did. And, if Michelle Branch never knew about pitch, music, or tone, she never would have had perfect pitch. She had the potential, but without knowing about it, she never could have developed perfect pitch. |

But... are you asking if it's possible to develop perfect pitch in the right environment? My question if it was to develop perfect pitch without already growing up as a prodigy like Mozart was. So I'm basically asking if an Average Joe can do it. QUOTE(mai_z @ Nov 9 2005, 4:43 PM) Yep! Definately possible, my music teacher did.
