Is a person determined by their nature or how they was nurtured?
With that said, " Nature is what we think of as pre-wiring and is influenced by genetic inheritance and other biological factors. Nurture is generally taken as the influence of external factors after conception, e.g., the product of exposure, life experiences and learning on an individual."
Do you think a person is again, determined by nature or nurture?
To me, honestly it really depends on the person, family, environment and stage of life that person is. It really canāt be boiled down to one answer or another unless you knew about everything.
My parents ānurturedā me to be terrified of all authority and everyone who is able to stand up for themselves, including fictional characters, if that counts
They also ānurturedā me so that I knew nothing about the world, and didnāt understand that the relationships I was in were toxic and unhealthy
Iām reading a great book about this. Thereās this thing called Determinism and itās the belief that humans have no free will and that their actions and stuff is determined by the ālaws of natureā. The author of the book completely destroys this by making a character who is messed up for one. It addresses how for example, by this theory of Determinism if you get punched, the person who punched you did it because of the ālaws of natureā so you canāt forgive them for it or go after them for revenge. The character applies this logic to everything, essentially leaving him in a mental paralysis. Which he both loves and hates at the same time. Itās interesting and unnerving. He believes in determinism so much and is also highly intelligent to be ignorant to ignore it, so he has trapped himself.
So anyway, I believe in nurture lol. I donāt think we as people are pre-determined. I think that we do have free will and stuff and choice to choose.
