Nature VS Nurture
Have you thought about how you got your personality? Nature VS Nurture is a very good debatable idea that comes in everyones mind. Nature means genetic and nurture means acquired. This debatable idea is studied by psychiatrists that mostly study twins who have never seen each other or didn't know their twin even existed.
Nature refers to all of the genes and hereditary factors that influence your behavior. Twins that have never seen each other are the best candidates to be tested to check if nature determines your behavior. Plato and Descartes are very good philosophers who believe that certain things are inborn in the environment around you, yet are in your genes. Examples of things that are inherited are your eye color, diseases, hair color and many other physical descriptions.
Nurture refers to all of the environmental variables that influence your personality as well. Changing someone's country is a great example of seeing if his/her personality changed. John B. Watson believed that you can do anything if you are taught how to do it regardless of your genes. Everyone'a behavior changes through the behavior of others according to Albert Bandura's theory.
Both Nature and Nurture play a critical role in ones personality. Pitch of musical voices and height are both natural and acquired. Pitch is because if you are living in an environment where people like singing you will become good at singing , and its acquired because you can have a family with very good singers so you'll inherit their singing skills. Another example is your height, you can have a family with really tall people in it, though in an environment that is not healthy so you wouldn't be tall. In my opinion, I believe that your personality changes with a nurture effect.
