When a child is being raised, there are several factors to consider.

One of the most important


ones are nurture and nature. The current topic is whether nurture is more important than nature or not.

Personally, I think that is true. Without either of them, the chances of a child being properly
raised are very slim. In my opinion, you learn more from experience, which in this case is dependent on
the nature, so being raised in a bad environment will have negative effects, since you will be exposed to
wrong ways of thinking and bad ideals. That of course, is not the only deciding factor, since there is still
nurture. If you are nurtured well, you may not pick up the bad habits and other negative traits that you
see and hear on a daily basis. While this may be true, there is no way to tell which side will be more
influential and its totally dependent on an individual’s personality-they may be influenced by how
they’re nurtured or by the nature around them.

Although experience is a good teacher and you learn more from the nature, nurture allows you
to learn more personal things. These include any basic knowledge you need to have to be able to take
care of yourself and others. You can learn such things yourself, but its mostly going to be the hard way.
It is important that a child is raise with love, so that they don’t develop problems later in their lives, for
example anger issues, trust issues, dishonesty, depression and many more. This is going to be affected
by both nurture and nature and it will still end up being dependent on an individual’s personality
regarding which side will be more influential.

To sum everything up, nurture is more important than nature in determining how people act.
Any person will see, hear and learn lots of things from their surroundings, and if any of those is bad,
nurture is the only thing that will be able to change it. Furthermore, if you cannot provide a good
environment for a child to be raised in, you can always nurture them well.
