There are still a lot of things to discover about the human psyche, one of the most popular ones
is the “nature versus nurture” debate. Which of the two are you more inclined to support? What
led you to this kind of belief?

One of psychology's oldest issues is the nature vs. nurture debate. Human behavior might
vary depending on his or her surroundings. I believe that a man's mind starts off blank. And, as
the saying goes, our parents are our first teachers. Because they teach us how to walk, talk, and
do other things. As children, we mimic what we observe. That is why our parents are usually
cautious when they are in front of us. As we become older, we encounter a variety of people with
different personalities. With them, it helped us contemplate who we really are. Social media has
a great influence on this. It has a negative and positive impact on us. Social media might change
us into something we are not, because we want to fit in. Our behavior might depend on who they
want us to be. It is dangerous, but it just shows how quickly our behavior may be influenced by
our environment.
