Nature is a common language

Have you ever wondered what makes us, people, behave in our own, unique
ways? Is this down to our genes or to the enviornment we have been raised in ?
Well, this well-known debate has been a thing since the Elizabethan period in
England: nature versus nurture.

Hearing the title of this, many people would wonder if there is a common
language, one that everyone in this world speaks. Well, the answer is no, but
Mandarin should be recognized for getting quite close. I think in the contest of
nature and nurture, a language means a variety of perks, which are the same for
all of us when we are born.

Basically this debate is between the people who think that human behaviour
is determined by genes and the ones who think the enviornment they are raised
in is to blame. Nurture also includes prenatal enviornment, which has a
considerable impact,too . Commented [u1]:

Most people believe, myself included, that nature and nurture are
complementary, both mattering in a person’s behaviour. This is probably the state
in which this debate will remain in the next decade , but some facts make, in my
view, one of the two have the edge.

On the one hand, it is scientifically proven that parents’s , grandparents’s


genes are transmitted to a child when born, so for example if the dad has a bad
temper, the child is bound to be quick-tempered, too. But, on the other hand, in
the same scenario, being raised by someone who has problems staying calm,
make a kid believe that this kind of behaviour is right and make him act the same,
until he or she gets used to being like this.

Furthermore, it is a fact that people are influenced by other factors, besides


family. After the first six-seven years of a child’s life, he becomes involved in more
and more groups of people with similarinterests : school, sports groups, art
groups and many more, and is almost certain to have changes in the behaviour he
or she had when spending most time in family. And, all in all, this is what nurture
is all about: the influence in the first 15-18 years of one’s life, which definitely has
the greatest biggest impact on in a person’s behaviour.

So, if nurture has that big of an impact, isn’t it safe to say that the way we Commented [u2]: Substantial,tremendous,considerable

behave is very little influenced by our nature? In my opinion, yes, I believe that
there isn’t much difference in people’s behaviour in the early stages of life, but,
slowly, humans’s change, they are influenced by people they meet and end up
having a unique way of being.

To conclude, our nature is common, we are on the same page when we are
born, but as the years pass, we change and become special people in our own
way .
