nature-nurture debate

The nature-nurture debate explores whether our traits and behaviors are primarily shaped by genetics (nature) or by environmental influences like upbringing and experiences (nurture). Nature emphasizes inherited biological factors, such as genetics and DNA, that influence who we are. Nurture focuses on the role of external factors, including education, culture, and life experiences. Most experts agree that both work together to influence individual development, with their relative impact varying depending on the trait or behavior in question. The debate helps us understand the complex interplay between our biology and environment in shaping our identity.
