Nature vs. Nurture - The Debate

Nature vs. Nurture is a term used by psychologists and scientists that explain how people are affected by their environment and their genetics. When they mean how they are affected is how much their intellectual can change, grow or not grow or be mentally insufficient, scientists and psychologists think that their environment and their genetics have a lot to do, but both of them do a huge part for people. Francis Galton was the first to use the term “Nature vs. Nurture” in the 13th century in 1874. Topics of this term are, homosexuality and obesity are a huge topic in this term, and besides this two topics there are many more, like a serial killer or every personality every person has, because everyone is different, even a topic can be a football player, to study their environment and their genetics how can they vary. The overall belief of Nature vs., Nurture is that your environment and your genetics have a lot to do in your intelligence, and many other things, and that everyone is different because everyone has a different environment and different genetics, that’s why many all scientists study twins. In my opinion Nature vs. Nurture is a very interesting topic, it makes you think about everyone and how everything affects everyone, and how everyone is different because of everything.
