Insights Into The Nature Versus Nurture Debate I wonder how I would act if I had a different family or lived in another era. Does my upbringing or natural personality determine who I am?

Until the time I have taken geography and moral education classes in my high school, I started to consider a bigger picture when I was thinking about public policy and my decision making. I knew that what I did could affect anyone around me and possibly…
