Nature effect's one's personality greater than nurture in a way that, if you separate identical twins into two completely different households, their habits and interests will remain the same as the others, just like when they were living together. Being in different places at the same time has no effect on identical twins because their genes are pretty much the same, a split between the parents. Nurture doesn’t effect one's personality more than nature does because, if a child is born from two parents with mental problems, such as depression or the tendency for suicidal thoughts, just because you're switching the atmosphere in which the child grows up, does not mean that child's mental state will change for the better. …show more content…
Nature has a greater impact on one's personality than nurture does.
A child born from two parents that have anxiety, and is given anxiety of its own. The parents of the child tries everything to prevent the anxiety from getting out of hand, or trying to make it go away all together. Does that mean the anxiety the child was born with, will disappear? No. Through personal experience, anxiety got worse, not better. The child was born with anxiety through its genes, therefore, if you try to push it into doing things to make it go away, it will not just
disappear.
Nurture does have an effect on personality, just not as great as Nature. For example, if a teenager was not into partying and going out with friends, and they start hanging out with people that do that, their personality will slightly start to change and their habits will also change. They will start to go to parties with their friends and potentially make bad choices. Whether their just trying to fit in or if they really do like doing those new things, it will still impact their personality.
In conclusion, Nurture does not impact one's personality more than Nature. They are both a factor of one's personality, but Nature is a greater impact. Nurture impacts personally if you hangout with people that you're not used to hanging out with and they do different things than you, then you will eventually start doing those things and possibly like doing them, even if it gets you into trouble. Nature's a greater impact, if you separate identical twins, their likings and habits that they shared will not change just because you separate them into different living areas. If your child was born with anxiety carried through your genes, and you try to take them out more to lessen the anxiety or make it go away, it will not do that because the child was born with it. Just like if you had two parents that had a mental problem and you adopt the child or move it in with a stable family member, that child will still have that problem. Nature and Nurture both impact a person's personality, but Nature will impact it more.
