Nature x nurture

I still believe enviroment is more important for a definition of a personality.

Beside the fact that science has been demonstrate how important genetic caracteristics are absolutly determinate to express a definition of human existence, I believe that DNA form the fisics caracteristics and some expecific abilities. For exemple, musicians in general have parents that probably were musicians too, or had the ability to develop some kind of special  music perception. An atleth receives a genetical information that makes the body able to a competition.

But when I think about emotions, personality, caracter I believe that the enviroment in wich one person had been rised up is much more important then the DNA.

The education that I received from my parents was much more important to define the person that I´m them my DNA caracheteristics. Even my natural impulse for a kind of agressive behavior in certain circunstances, is absolutly under control because of the education that I received.

Psicologists knows that the emotions can be controled, personalities can be formed, some aspects of caracter can be chanced depending on the kind of education that a person receive. Science is now showing something we didn´t know yet. We are suposed to have a natural way predeterminated by biological forces. And scientists are whowing how it happens. Probably a long time ago this caractheristics were in evidence in the human behaviour, but in the last 2000 years of ocidental culture, the enviroment, especialy by education, influences and changes this natural DNA way.
