Nature v Nurture

We learned that as humans, we aren't able to become a "normal" part of society with only our nature. It's necesary to be nutured and learn from experiences and other humans in order to develop. These two qualities, nature and nurture, aren't mutually exclusive; they actually work together to shape who we are. In fact, our experiences, like always being stressed, can actaully be passed down from generation to generation.
We also talked about feral children and that their lack of nurture doesn't allowe them to fully develop. I think that I've been shaped by my parents a lot. I've noticed simple things that I do that some of my friends don't, that I think my parents taught me to do and has now just become habit. Like turning off the TV or the lights when I leave a room. The TV is always on at my girlfriend's house even if no one is watching or in the room. I think qualities like modesty and honesty are also taught by our parents, those aren't things ingrained in our genes.
