Nurture strongly influences early human development
Today most scientists believe that nature and nurture influence human development together, including births, growths, even lives. There is an argument as to the importance of nature and nurture. Some scientists deem nature’s strong influence on early human development, others deem that nurture does. This essay will discuss whethernature or nurture more strongly influences early human development.
Most obviously, early development is determined by nature. People’s gender, the complexion, eyes and hairs’ hue and general physiques all decided by human genes and growing cells, they decide human born as a person not a fish. (Text 2-1, lines 53-57). All infants have abilities of listening, seeing, smelling, hearing andtasting after born.For example, infants can tell differences tastes. They will show different responseswhen they taste different tastes, newborns prefer sweet taste, when they taste sour they will purse their lips and noses, bitter can make newborns open their mouths and stick out their tongues.Moreover, the fetus develops within the mother’s body according to a fairly fixed time schedule, this is decided by genes.
However,9 nurture has important influences on child development. Nurture theorists think that children grow and develop their characters, bases on what they have learned throughout their life or the environment that they were raised in. Psychologist Robert Feldman (2000)notes that environmentplays an important role during human development; it makes latentabilities become possible. For example, all human infants learn to speak by nature. Although all infants follow the same stages in their development of speech, the age at which this happens is different. The infants reared in an environment in which people talk to them a lot will start speaking earlier than others (Text2-1, lines 108-125). This phenomenon illustrates the influence of nurture.
In conclusion, nature and nurture both have influenceson early human development. Nature decides human’s dispositions and nurture can change these personalities. Nature gives human born abilities and nurture help human to develop the abilities. Nature gives innate attributes to human and people are almost the same when they are born. Then nurture makes the innate attributes change and result in people having different lives. Sonurture strongly influences early human development.

Socialisation is vastly important in the development of human beings and personalities and that's why it's vital that adults in a society nurture children in a way that make them valuable members of society. However, I think nature also plays a vital role in how children handle their socialisation. It is apparent to me that all the inbreeding that occurred within the Gaunt family has led them to be a family of complete nutters that was not helped by the loss of their wealth. Had Harry been disposed to Tom Riddle's exact situat

ion from birth he would have handled it differently because in my opinion, Riddle received much better care than Harry and look how well Harry turned out. He is a functional member of society who is able to integrate with his peers and not the complete megalomaniac that is Lord Voldemort.

So, in short, my opinion is that nurturing definitely has a major and profound impact in determining who you are but nature is what determines how you handle and respond to the nurturing you receive. Two people can go through the exact same situation and end up being totally different therefore nature is also important. I think the main difference between HP and TMR may be nature.
