Oh Nature vs Nurture was my favorite topic at college it's really interesting. I believe its mainly nature but I think our surrounding still affect us. I think humans are like art on a canvass, when we are born we are sketched out in pencil, our basic personality traits, our nurological issues and how we react to stress, Then as we grow everything starts to get shaded in with our own personal colours, our fears, our experiences, our joy. Colour is always being added constantly changing the piscure but never removing the original sketches.
i disagree with you. but instead of comming up with a good rebuttle with some points in favor of nuture over nature i'm just going to call you a hippy! or maybe you went to art school or something but i dunno you're weird.
ahh whatever i'll spare one point. take a lion for example. it is in the lion's nature to hunt and kill. it makes the lions' personallity very agressive yet it does not attack any humans.
it doesn't need to. the humans feed it, and it is not in a lions' nature to be fed yet it still directly effects the personallity of the lion. no longer in need of hunting and killing the lion abandons his nature and thus nurture has conquored nature.
I'm not saying we can't I agree that the enviroment shapes us a grear deal however the neurological traits we are born with never leave us such as depressive tendancies
Do you think you are born with it?

look at a feral child. the mannerisms of a feral child show great evidence that a lot of human "nature" is taught including speach.
seems to me that human nature is more like human culture but i should write a book about it instead of blabbering.

then why don't you read my comment directly underneath us? (refering to feral children.)
Besides, if a primal lion can over come nature then our highly developed consious minds can't?
