Nature vs Nurture Debate

Nature vs. Nurture means a constant debate that has been going for many years weather if people are born intelligent by nature or genetics or by nurture that means the environment in which we live and the people that surround us. The first scientist to use this term and put it in discussion was Francis Galton (France) in 1874. There are many topics that are part of this debate and some of them are obesity and homosexuality which strongly influence on the human mind. Scientists believe that both sexuality and weight are both shaped by the environment in which we live in. The main belief of this debate is really divided because some scientists think that it’s because of the genetics we are who we are and other scientists think that it’s because of the environment we live in, our everyday environment. In my opinion I think that it’s a little bit of both because we are who we are because of our parents genetics, like if our parents are intelligent the children has a high probability of being intelligent also, in the case of environment a kid can be born intelligent but also if his environment is not a good one his intelligence could be never be managed the way it should. Both theories may be correct in their own way because in some occasions people are created by their genetics and environment.
