I have always thought it wasn't a matter of nature vs nurture but nature AND nurture together for many things. I doubt there would be so much depression if there weren't so many dysfunctional families, just my opinion but it seems like nearly everone I know had some sort of abuse in childhood whether it was emotional, physical, sexual, etc.
Yes yes! The nature vs. nurture debate is an outdated one because nature effect nurture, and nurture affects nature. They're both so interrelated its impossible to separate the two.
