<p>Prompt : Nature (one's genetic inheritance) affects one's character and behavior more than nurture (one's life experiences).</p>
<p>Assignment : What are your thoughts on the statement above? </p>
<p>One's genetic inheritance is superior to one's experiences merely because inheritance is in your blood. Genetic inheritance is something that one is born with, thus making certain traits innate.
From experience, I know panic is something that always has a deleterious effect on certain things I do. I, for one, am an awful test taker. Anxiety never fails to take me over, and leave me in a quandary. Not surprisingly, my father has always been and still is a character full of panic and haste when it comes to certain situations. He's the last person you want to receive assistance from in a critical situation; he can not undertake the pressure. Hence, I am full of panic as well in some instances.
Yet another good example of genetic inheritance's superiority to experience is Mike - a friend of mine. Contrary to my character, Mike is an extremely relaxes person; he seems to have ice in his veins. No matter the situation he is in, he never breaks a sweat or even shows a face of fright. The culprits of that would be his parents. His parents are seemingly the most stoic people I've ever met; they come from families with a history of stolidness. Therefore, it is clear that Mike's genetics play a significant role in his character as well.
Indeed some people may possibly overcome a habit that comes from family history, but it seems evident that inheritance plays a somewhat inevitable role in one's temperament. It is similar to a near invincible force.</p>
