<p class=”p2″><span class=”s1″>The topic of nature vs nurture interested me since I was first introduced to it. I feel like it’s been mentioned every year in a class and put up for discussion. I think it represents a rhetorical situation well, just because it’s quite literally a series of conversations debating whether nature or nurture is more dominant. The research I’ve conducted has demonstrated that the debate has transformed from “nature is more important that nurture” and vice versa to “nature and nurture are directly related and here’s how.” Because it’s so heavily incorporated with behavior analysis and psychology, I think it’s a debate that many people can see within themselves. I also find it interesting because there’s a clear drive to find the answers as to why we are the way we are. The skeptic in me sometimes asks why does there have to be an answer? Why isn’t the bottom line that we act the way we do just because? I think a part of me wanted to be proven wrong whilst researching the topic. </span></p>
