Does nature or nurture have greater influence on human development?

Nature = heredity
Nurture = environment

Taking my example....i guess it's the environment...like the people around u that have a greater impact...altho ur values remain put...but ur actions and behavior and friends circle depend more on the environment...

WHen I'm at home. it's more like a different me...than when I'm with frnds... :-\

I believe that both nature and nurture plays a part, with a greater role being played by nurture

Nature - Ensuring that the human has perfect body parts, brain, no mental/physical disease from birth.

Nurture - Make sure that the child comes up with a positive mindset, desire to succeed and other characteristics necessary for success.

Without 'nature', 'nurture' is useless. Whereas, without 'nurture', 'nature' is wasted.

well i made a 1000 words essay for this topic.
i had done lots of research
i will post the essay in few days (DAYS lol)
because i submitted it as an assignment, and we had to submit it to turnitin, which checks plagiarism.
so if i paste it here, my essay might turn 100% plagiarized.
