Nurture wins. We are not born a certain way. We are conditioned and made into one thing or another. Nobody is born with anger issues, nobody is born gay, and nobody is born with their parents’, grandparents’, or great grandparents’ problems (excluding medical conditions). Don’t get me wrong, certain behaviors are based on genes, such as hair and eyes, and even some mannerisms, but these aren’t things that mold us as people.
“Give me a dozen healthy infants, well-formed, and my own specified world to bring them up in, and I’ll guarantee to take anyone at random and train him to become any type of specialist I select-doctor, lawyer, artist- regardless of his talents, penchants, tendencies, vocations, abilities, and race of his ancestors” –John B. Watson
On a totally different note; Arby’s, stars, wal-mart, and newberry= perfect date. Who knew?
