weekly work (second draft) --susan

The question about whether nurture is more significant than nature in early human development has been discussed by people through the centuries.It is believed by some people that inherited characteristics such as our sex, the colour of our skin ,eyes are difficult to change .so nature is a major factor in early human development .However ,others point out that environment strongly influences early human development because of that everything always change when we grow up.In my view ,I agree the latter opinion for following reasons.

To begin with ,family play an important role in children's healthy and personality.For example if parents have received a higher education ,they usually known about a variety of nutrition information's from book or TV .Thus ,their children would have more healthy body and life habits .In term of the personality ,it's true that we often are influenced by our family members .The baby, for instance,would most likely be pessimistic if he or she lived in poor family ,where the baby always received punishment from his parents or brothers .His view of life would be very different from another individual who lived happily in a harmonious family with encouragement from parnets and psychological support from brothers or sisters.


Secondly,education is a determining factor when we were young.Our thinking be influenced by teacher and classmates . It is a fact that children spend a lot of time in school for studying. In other words ,when they study in school or kindergarten ,they would be change by teachers classmates.For other thing ,education accumulate their knowledge .A Wolf child, to offer a good instance,due to a lack of education by contact with human being ,could hardly live in our society or self-develop.

Admittedly,nature also effect one's early development.we can clearly find differences among younger children in their learning ability ,which could prove the importance of genes in this regard. However,when compared with other factors after birth, nature in early human development may not be particularly significant.Not all successful men are genius in their children hood. They also need to study and practice.


In conclusion,I firmly hold that family and education after birth weigh heavier than nature in regard to one's early development.
