Week of 6/24 - Nature vs. Nurture

For this week, we are going to dive into the more science/psychological side of things, talking the debate of nature vs. nurture. Within the psychological community especially (although the topic was briefly addressed in my 100 level Biology course), the debate surrounds which is more important in influencing who you are, nature - your genetics - or nurture - the environment you were raised in.

There have been studies looking into this, specifically with identical twins who grew up with different parents and in different environments, but I am certain our own specific experiences growing up shape our personal viewpoints on which is more important.

So according to my nifty calendar (and the fact the posting order is always the same) Brandon will be starting us off with opinions tomorrow. Let's hope for some very interesting opinions and a fun week!
