Click here for the article.
So, was the way we behave engrained in us before we were born? Or has it developed over time in response to our experiences? |

Its impossible to be 100% either one...Thats why we have parents that both have brown hair and they give birth to a kid with blonde hair, which would be nature. That doesnt have anything to do with WHO they are as a person. That's due to what is called "life changing experiences" or "epiphanies", the nurture. Nobody is BORN a mass murderer, they get that way becuse of how they are treated in life. Do you think the Columbine kids planned that shooting? No, they were abused, rejected, mistreated, and scorned throughout life and thats what warped their minds...Nurture...Being 6'8" or having abnormally slow metabolism, having blonde hair and green eyes is nature, you cant help that, but each person can help how they react to situations.
