Nature vs. Nurture!

            Nature Vs. Nurture is a psychology term related to wether you get your characterisitics from your DNA or your enviornment. It is obvious that you get your physical characterisitcs from your parents, but do you inherit hobbies or attitude or your inteligence from them or do you develop them through the enviornment you have lived in since you were little.
          Francis Galton developed the ide of Nature vs Nurture. Francis was influence by the book "The Origin of species" a book written by his cousin, Charles Darwin. The greatest dowbt about this debate is wether get characterisitcs the minute we are born or wther we develope the majority of the characteristicsbecause of the enviornment whre we live. Some of the main debate that are made because of the topic are if we get our personality from our parents or if it depends on the enviornment we live in. Another one is hobbies, or intelligence.
         This debate is a very extence one and it has been discussed a lot around psychologists, but we will never know which one wins. This is a debate that can have really good satements on both sides but we will never know the answer. I think that we gain qualities through both Nature and Nutrure. If a child is raised in a poor and violent enviornment i think the child will grow up as a violent kid or a depressed boy/girl. But many of our qualities we gain from our parents because if we didnt we wouldnt look like them or we wouldnt be as hardworking as they are.
