There is this whole concept of nature versus nurture that I'm sure some of you might have heard of. It's besically an argument between which forms a person or which determines the person's fate-- Nature being your genes (in other words hereditery things), and Nurture being your sorroundings or environment (what you grew up with). |

I would say it is both, some things are determined by our genes and others our surroundings and our choices. Also even some genetic things are influenced by the way we live our lives. |

Entirely agreed with the above poster. Do you know the chinese believe that breastfeeding as a baby could determine your chracter and who you will be attracted to later in life. Because you lie close to your mother's heart, you can feel it beat and therefore your heart syncs up with it. Also you grow an attraction to that and later on look for people who are similar. Where would you put that. That is nature, but also nurture. |
