I'm taking a Psychology elective this year and we just went over the age old question; Nature or Nurture?

What is the determining factor in a person's personality, their DNA code or the way that they were brought up?
 
Eh... both?



Without DNA they wouldn't even be alive... Nurture affects DNA, though. (Turning stuff on and off... it's even hereditary.)



I suppose nurture, in the end, has a greater influence over the character people form than nature, but you need both.
