I feel this way because in life, it is you who must make decisions for yourself, not for others or based off of others. So although I take what my parents say and try and teach me to do in good consideration, I will not follow their every belief blindly, which therefor puts me on the side of nature. It seems almost illogical to follow nurture really. Who is the one making decisions for each and every one of us? Ourselves, we make our own decisions, so shouldn't that entitle us to the right to make them for our own reasons, and not for someone else's? So for that reason I would say nature takes a toll on me more than nurture. What about you?

For me, I believe nature has made and will make and influence my life more than nurture. Why?

I feel that nurture really plays a big role in young people, especially children. The way they are raised to be often is the way they are until they are living on their own, or reach a pivotal time such as high school in their young adulthood where there are many more influences on them than just their parents. For many, what they are taught to believe by those around them leaves a lasting influence on the choices they make.
