Nature_V._Nurture

Nature V. Nurture All throughout society you have heard people refer to the controversy of Nature vs. Nurture and how they both affect what character a person becomes. Some say your character is determined by your heredity and upbringing, while others say it’s by the environment in which you live. Although both a person’s environment (or surroundings) and their heredity play a significant role in how their character is molded, I believe that their heredity is the most predominate force in their lives. Everybody’s parents reared them in many different ways. Some were pretty harsh in how they directed their children, and others were more lenient in areas of their direction. The methods of parental guidance used are most commonly passed from generation to generation. A significant trait would be a parent’s leadership. The leadership portrayed by parents paints a long-lasting picture in the child’s mind, therefore making a better mold for his character to develop in. An example of an effective method would be reward system. If a parent rewarded his child each time he done well, the child would see that it pays to do well and follow rules. Parental support makes a huge difference in how the child develops.
