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? |

this is stalemate debate. Look at it this way: a demon baby is born. Its parents are extremely evil, and yet are dead. A good witch found the baby and raise it in a good world. Teaching it the different b/w right and wrong. Will the baby grow up and kill the good witch or protect the good witch if something goes wrong?
