Nature and Nurture.

We have been discussing nature and nurture in class this week. I do believe both have a large impact on our lives. For me specifically, I have blonde hair because of my mom, i am about their height, am athletic like my dad, and have the same humor as my dad. However, there are some things that I have created on my own and I believe outside sources have impacted them. For example, I am a little more intelligent than the rest of my family, and i strongly believe it is because of my eduacation. Stevenson and Daniel Wright have really set a foundation for learning for me and I have carried it through my life. Although my dad went to Shs and Dw, the education is very different from when It was for him. My personality is made up by my surroundings.

I thought the article we read was very interesting. The story about Genie is horrific but also inspiring. A girl who has sat in a chair for 12 years can learn to speak, walk and learn. Also, the survey of the mentally disabled children shows that nurture really has a large impact on their lives. Without the social interaction in early years, a child really misses out on alot in their life.
