Your personality is uniquely yours. No one has ever been exactly like you, and there will never be anyone just like you again. Considering the nature versus nurture debate (i.e., the debate regarding the influence of biology/heredity versus the influence of environment on the development of people's traits), please respond in writing to the following:

"In your opinion, how much of your personality is influenced by your genes (i.e., what you have inherited from your parents), and how much of it has been shaped by your environment? Please support your answer with at least two brief personal examples." (NOTE: Please don't discuss anything that makes you feel uncomfortable or that is too personal to disclose - just give safe, general information about yourself).

1)Considering the nature versus nurture, I would like to share my intelligence that is based on Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligence, I am an intelligent when it comes to my interpersonal dimension because I am good at understanding and interacting with other people. I also have this potential to assess the emotions, motivations, desires, and intentions of people around me. But these potentials were not honed if my parents didn't involve me in an independent environment. Back when I was young, there is an incident that I can recall. i always ask them why I am being left in our house to guard my younger siblings. They said that it is because I am the eldest, that I should act as the little parent in our house whenever they are not around. I have the responsibility to protect my brothers and lead them to be better people. Growing up, they train me to be outspoken and to be critical in decision-making skills. With the nature that I innately have, plus the nurturing that I have experienced, I become a person who developed responsibility, emphatic leadership and passionate serving.

2)I am considered as a good singer. When I was younger, I always sing the opening song of the television drama whenever it starts playing. When my auntie realized that I have the voice quality, she enrolled and supported me to a summer camp. She also encouraged me to join amateur contests where sometimes I win. I think more than the talent that is innate in me, the nurturing I had boosted my confidence that I can really do it. I believed in myself because there are people who trust in me and believe in my talent. The singing skills were developed because of the training and experiences I had which were all part of my nurturing process.

Step-by-step explanation

The nature versus nurture debate is one of the oldest philosophical issues within psychology. that personality is composed of two parts: the NATURE and the NURTURE.

Nature refers to all of the genes and hereditary factors that influence who we are; from our physical appearance to our personal traits. They are innate, inherited and inborn characteristics. On the other hand, Nurture refers to all the environmental variables that impact who we are, including our early childhood experiences, parenting style(s), family dynamics, social relationships, location of home, etc.
