Document Summary
A lot of studies are concerned with how much about you was shaped by what is around you and how much is inherent? (2) The chances are the both nature and the environment have made some contributions. So now the question has changed from an either or question to one of mechanisms and combinations. Eventually, when you have kids, you can start to wonder how much of the child is nature and how much is nurture, for example, gender clothing. When they decided to raise the child as a boy, they gave him surgical and hormonal treatment. Looking back, it is apparent that there are some gender things that you are born with that will make sure that you fit in with your assigned sex. Today, it is believed that even though nurture plays a significant role, nature plays an important one too.
