The nature vs nurture debate is now quite an old arguement and debate in the field of psychology. The nature theroy states that physical attributes like height, weight, skin color etc are determined by our genes and our hereditary attributes. The nurture theory states that environmental factors are the real origins of our behavior.

I am for the nurture side. Our personality grows and develops as per the situation and experiences we are exposed to. Its true that our traits are predetermined by our genes, but the more relevant fact is that an individual learns new things almost on a daily basis in his life. These new learnings, situations and experiences helps shaping and moulding a person\'s personality.

Major points for each side: nature - it is scientific and thus more rational that traits can be attributes to genes. This is the major point for the nature side.

nurture - individuals are born with pre-determined and inherited traits, true. But it is the lifr experiences that are the most vital and relevant aspect that moulds a person.

The controversy can be resolved by accepting the points of both sides as both sides are correct in their own way. The best way is to say that the traits are developed though interaction of genes and environment.
