Consider your own genetics (traits received from your parents) and the environment in which you grew up. Which do you think has had a greater impact on how you turned out as a person—”nature” (the genes you inherit) or “nurture” (the environment in which you grew up)? Contemplate your lifestyle or choices in life. Might either factor (or both) have influenced your choices? Why or why not? Explain your choice and support it with examples if possible.
