“Which do you think is more influential, Nature or Nurture?”

To give us more background on choosing what’s more influential, First, I will

state the meaning of Nature and Nurture with Nature referring to all the genes
and hereditary factors that influence who we are from our physical
appearance to our personality characteristics. While Nurture refers to all the
environmental variables that impact who we are, including our early childhood
experiences, how we were raised, our social relationships, and our
surrounding culture. With that in mind, it’s time to decide who is more
influential.

And to me it’s mixture of both, A good environment can overcome bad genes,
and the variations of that statement are equally true. Because they're
intrinsically intertwined. The environment modifies genetic expression through
experiences. Nature dictates the limits, and nurture defines where you fall
within the boundaries. Differences in your environment play a minor role in
variability in socially desirable and undesirable behaviors. The effect of the
genes we have on our behavior is expressed through our inherited traits:
intelligence, personality, and other physiological and neuropsychological
processes.
