Nature vs. Nurture

Could you imagine growing up strapped to a potty chair, locked in a room staring at a wall for your entire child hood? Well, Jeanie's parents did that to her and when she was finally set free she didn't know how to walk, talk, or have any kind of interaction with other human beings. The way you grow up shapes who we are as a person and what we believe in and how we act. For example, I was born into a Luthern family and those were the types of things I was raised to believe in. I basically grew up in hockey rinks all over the Chicago area, and even other states but mostly Illinois; growing up around that because of my brothers made me really enjoy the sport...not playing so much as watching it but now I am a really big hockey fan and I love the Blackhawks! How your raised and the things you are taught helps define who you are as a person. Without love, belonging and such our primal instincts come out. Because Jeanie never learned how to be "normal", she croaked like an animal and walked like a bunny. Naturally, us humans want to form relationships but we cannot do that without properly learning how.
