Not so fast....

Nature versus nurture is an ongoing debate among scholars, researchers, and parents. The question of which influence is more important, the nature you are born with or the way you are raised from birth, is an interesting topic of conversation, almost impossible to resolve, as you cannot take away the nurture part of the equation to discover how different someone would be if they were raised differently.

Being adopted, I always find it amusing just how well I fit into my family structure. Most of my relatives seem to be pretty artsy craftsy, just like me - musical, artistic, and "sensitive." Since the nature part is out of the question in my particular case, it seems to me nurture must be a pretty strong influence, after all.
