The family I was born into, the friends I hang out with, the television I watch, and the beliefs I have. All that is Nature vs. nurture, and now I am going to give you some examples. Nature: refers to heredity, the genetic makeup an individual carries from the time of conception to the time of death. This notion of nature refers to the biologically prescribed tendencies and capabilities individuals possess which may unfold themselves throughout the course of life.

Another thing is my mom is about 5 “6 and my dad is around 6 “3 so I am most likely going to be around 5”11 when I grow up.

Nurture: by contrast refers to various external or environmental factors to which an individual is exposed from conception to death. My grandpa and grandma both smoke, so when I am over there I am exposed to second hand smoke, which is not healthy for me and I’ve been around them all my life.

Environmental factors involve multiple layers of forces ranging from most immediate, like family friends and my neighborhood. My family is always
