Nature vs Nurture__

Our **nature** is what we are born with; some people believe we are destined to be a certain type of person no matter how we are raised. We are **nurtured** by our parents and the circumstances that we live in. Some people believe that our characters are moulded by the experiences we have in our lives.

Numerous experiments have been conducted in the past, involving twins, family members, etc. One famous experiment was conducted by Laszlo Polgar and his wife. Laszlo was a modest chess player himself who believed that "geniuses are made, not born". His 3 daughters Zsuzsa (Susan), Zsofia and Judit are Grandmasters in chess. This is significant as probability that 3 siblings will achieve this is very low, especially 3 sisters, given that females are thought by some (like Garry Kasparov) to have weaker spacial/reasoning abilities than men and therefore are less often successful in math and science.
