Some assume that they were born one way and that there is nothing they can do to change it. Others are convinced that they are who they are because of their upbringing. Nature is directly related to genes and hereditary factors. It includes characteristics that range from our physical appearance to distinctive features of our personality. For its part, parenting includes the environmental variables to which we are exposed and in which we participate from childhood. In parenting there are also social relationships, in addition to the culture that surrounds us. Your physical characteristics can be identical to your parents, for example, you can have your father's eyes and your mother's hair color. However, your personality and talent may not come from them. The environment you grew up in can have a lasting effect or influence on the way you speak, behave, and respond to things around you.
