Nature or Nurture?


In your opinion, what is the bigger contributor in how a person turns out--his or her upbringing and environment or the "nature" or personality that he or she is born with? In other words, are individuals born or made? Can experiences change people? Can people change themselves? Can a dysfunctional upbringing result in a stronger person? Do people sometimes fulfill others' perceptions of them without really thinking about who they, themselves, are or want to be?
