The nature versus nurture debates concern the relative importance of an individual's innate qualities ("nature", i.e. nativism, or innatism) versus personal experiences ("nurture", i.e. empiricism or behaviorism) in determining or causing individual differences in physical and behavioral traits.
Do hereditory traits that pass on parents to children OR the things they experience as they grow up from friends relatives schools colleges provide a greater impact on personality of an individual.
I often hear parents saying he has got this talent from hi/her dad.vice versa.
For example if a person is really good singer/painter/dancer...and when asked to his parents as regards his talent we tag a statement that she/he has blessed with this talent from her father even he was a good singer/painter/dancer....
After this incident, i feel things we get from our parents are needless to be thought they just need a bit of polishing andits done. Opposite is the case when we hear "I have been learning this from years still i m not an expert"
 
It's took long time to come to the fact that both "nature" and "nurture" perform some role in deciding many features of our physical and psychological selves, from the height and body weight to our cleverness and disposition. But as to which has the bigger role in creating us, scientists have never ever seemed to recognize.
