In Psychology classes you have or will learn of
Nature vs. Nurture
Nature being genetics directly involved with you life...
A.K.A. "I was born this way."
and Nurture being the environment around you
A.K.A. "I was raised that way."
Anyway....
What do you believe...
What makes each of us.. us?
Nature or Nurture
or is there something else?

lol, I don't think he was nurtured enough...
I think they both have an effect. Nature has something to do with it. (my family is all relatively smart... in theory) I find that the wrong kind of nurturing at the wrong time in life can cause nearly irreperable damage.
To Summarize: I think both are vital in a psychologically healthy person.
PS: OW! My Brain!

Someone who would believe either is determining and the other unimportant, would be completely wrong.
For each single facet of human psychology, you will find natural and "nurtural" causes. Their relative influences will themselves change for each individual, depending on, you guessed it, other natural and nurtural factors, which in turn... Alright, you get it.

What I don't get is all the binary thinking people tend to have. "This or that." Of course it's a mixture of both.
There are genetic predispositions to certain things, for example if a mood dispoder runs in your familys geners, and then things like attitude and confidence and self esteem come from weather you come from a nurturing and loving or harsh or emotionally distant family.

So now we know...
Nature and Nurture is as much entertwined as order and chaos, good and evil, fish and chips...
Although this provides an intresting prespective....
Both are intertwined and yet a daughter can grow up exposed to the sam material as her mother when younger an still the daughert turns out completly diffrent...
Why?
There has to something more than both Nature and Nurture for such a diffrence to occur...
I admit I never understood why we try to "understand" the human thought process.. but the more I study the more complex it becomes.
The more people involved, the more chaotic the mind seems to become....
thousands of synaptic responses al telling this person that "this" is right while another sees "that" as right.
Yet you still have people who belive other ways are right...

I'll use a common example which explains all about human psychology:
You hear lots of men saying about how they treated their girlfriends/wives. They are separated into 2 groups, usually.
Group No1 guys were abandoned by their girls, altough they treated them very carefully, romantically, and tried their best to keep'em happy.
Group No2 guys were hard with their girls because they thought they were trying to have the upper hand and got 'unloyal'.
There's a secret group though, group no3, the guys of which are both hard and soft. Their girls won't leave them.
The bottom line? Balance is the magic word, that's what holds the world from falling apart, and just as women need balance, so do men (we want the girl to behave like a lady outdoors and like a wild cat indoors, don't we?).
So, the human race is all about balance, and misbehavior is a sign of unbalanced people. The things we misbehave about show parts of our character that we need to balance before anything else.
I'm a fun of Ockham and his K.I.S.S. theory, so I consider modern psychology to be but a joke that only complicates things, while they are as simple as the description above.
