WEEK 2-3 What is more important-our genes or our environment?

Do genetic or environmental factors have a greater influence on my behavior? I believe that certain things are inborn, or that they occur naturally regardless of environmental influences. All of our characteristics and behaviors are the result of evolution. Genetic traits handed down from parents influence the individual differences that make each person unique.
However, how a person behaves can be linked to influences such as parenting styles and learned experiences. For example, a child might learn through observation and reinforcement to say 'please' and 'thank you.' Another child might learn to behave aggressively by observing older children engage in violent behavior on the playground. In my opinion, both nature and nurture influence behavior and development, and it can’t be judged which is more important because the experts are still debating on this subject.
