Nurtured by Love or Matured by Nature?

As we begin to look at the topic of "socialization", It is amazing to me that so much of what we take for granted as being human (part of our nature) is actually learned from our environment (nurture). The "Wild Child" video about children raised without human love and support demonstrates the power of social experiences on individuals. The following website: Feralchildren.com is a fascinating source of more information on the topic. Please read the article on this site entitled, "Nurtured by love or Matured by Nature"you and comment on your impressions from the video and the website, and about how you feel that your life has been shaped by both your inborn qualities as well as by the experiences of your life.
