Nature Vs. Nurture Argument Analysis

The argument of nature vs. nurture can go on and on until there is scientific proof as to which is the more dominate factor in personal development. I have always been a supporter of the nurture argument since I believe that a loving, supportive, safe environment yields well-rounded and considerate individuals regardless of their genetic disposition. For example, consider animals that are domesticated vs. those in the wild; a human will easily approach a domesticated animal because it is assumed that they are well-behaved and loving because of the environment it was raised in contrast an individual would not take the same approach with the animal raised in the wild as it is assumed that their behaviors are unpredictable. Twin studies are

always very intriguing but this twin study stood out because of the fact that the twins were separated for 35 years and raised in completely different environments, however they shared many likenesses; both Linda and Doreen like earth tones, floral scents, are exactly the same height, just to name a few.
As I reflect on my personal development and the development of my children I believe that having a support system, love, morals, and discipline makes it possible for an individual to grow mentally and emotionally. In short, it is my experience that if nurture embraces nature there is a better chance that an individual will be responsible, confident, accomplished, and considerate where as if nurture hinders nature and individual will be unhappy and possibly emotionally disturbed to say the least.
