Nurture versus nature debate

The nature versus nurture debate explores the influence of genetics (nature) and environment (nurture) on human development and behavior. "Nature" refers to inherited traits and biological factors, such as DNA and brain chemistry, while "nurture" encompasses experiences, upbringing, and culture. This debate examines how much our characteristics, intelligence, personality, and behaviors are shaped by our genes versus our environment. Research shows that both aspects interact in complex ways, making it challenging to determine the exact contribution of each. Ultimately, it's about understanding how biology and experience work together to shape who we are.
