What is a stronger influence: Nature or Nurture
What do you think has more impact on personality/values/morals- nature (inherited DNA) or nurture (the environment in which one was brought up)? Do you think they're equivalent in influence?

Conversely, our DNA may make it harder to live in different environments. Allergens vary depending on location, and sensitivities are hardcoded into our being. Granted, sometimes you can overcome them after being repeatedly subjected to said allergen, but that was just one example in an ocean of examples.
