Nature & Nurture

So I guess I'm like my family because I have the same sense of humor as my dad, and I keep my things in order just like my mom, but not all the time. I also pretty much listen to the same genres of music as my brother. I'm like my long-time friends mostly by having the same sense of humor as them and having the same interests like music and things to do for fun. I asked my mom about when she thought I had a unique personality, and she explained how I was entertaining and noticed around the age of 2. The thing that I don't want to have that my mom does is when she needs everything to be exact and clean everyday, but I don't think there is anything that my dad does that I don't want to do. If someone were to work against nature and nurture, there is no doubt that he or she would be different because those are what define people and if someone has neither, then he or she will be different. I believe the most influential group to my attitudes and behaviors in life is my peer group. When you are with your friends after awhile, you start to have the same types of jokes and senses of humor. Peer groups also tend to have the same areas of interest too, so I have been shaped a lot by my peer group. The music I listen to which is a pretty wide variety is somewhat shaped by my peer group, but mostly just the hip hop genre. This just goes to show how much nurture can shape a person along with nature in the beginning.
