These two words have far more of a meaning then most realize. Both of these concepts play a significant role in our life, and mold us to become who we are today. Nature is what every human-being was born with ex: ability to breath, blink & open/close the eyelids; however, Nurture is something that we are taught after birth such as, being able to chew foods, walk & talk. If the environment isn't "nurturing", then what is a possible outcome of the child? Feral Children. They adapt to their surroundings, and whatever they see (if anything at all) they follow. For example: The girl that lived with dogs majority of her life, walked like them, barked like them, even drank water/ate like them.
Nurture, is what guided us to become who we are today. The way we act, the way we do things is all based upon past experiences/lesson's that one has been taught or has gone through.
While learning about Feral Children, I had different emotions towards it...
ReplyDeleteFirst I thought it was a joke; I didn't really believe it at all! Then as we were reading about them on the website and watching clips about them, I began to think it was very interesting! Yes, very very sad, but it really makes sense! You are born with many abilities, but you have to be taught how to do certain things.
