Was just thinking about the enourmous

[angel21]

impact each human being has on every other human being they come into contact with throughout their life.

I was thinking particularly of Peter Andre and Katie Price and the part her parents played in order for her to turn out like she is. And then the part their parents played for turning them into the sort of parents who have to a large degree moulded Katie Price.

Positivity and all good things, kind things you say, things you do have a knock on effect for generations don't you think.

ahh yeah silly me China I was thinking of nature as in birds etc lol lol lol silly me doh!

Its a combination of both but in my opinion I think it is more down to being moulded into who we are through experiences. What do you all think?

[angel21]

This post is meant to be more of a nature / nurture discussion. I just used Katie and Peter as an example.

As Tambo says.........sure they'll get back together.......cant help thinking whole affair smells of set-up..................

Just think how much they'll get in exclusive paper and magazine deals, let alone TV show rights, when it's announced they're back together again........may be wrong .........but........then again....?

What I want to know is who do you think is ultimately to blame for the way an individual has turned out? Is it the parents or is it the individual or is it impossible to pinpoint it all on one person?

I think it's both Angel, there are certain personality traits I've obviously inherited from my parents but there are other things about my character which are unique or can be attributed to my own experiences of life and how I've interpreted them.

I don't think it falls to any one corner but I would suggest that nature gives us the tools and nurture the abitlity to utilise those tools and from that we shape our lives. Sometimes what we're given is a bit useless so we have to learn something else.

^ I agree and that was a good way of describing it

[angel21]

Yogi, Leggy - still here, haven't had a change of heart, technical team just haven't acted yet. They are pretty slow aren't they?

and another wedding......bet they plan that around William & Kates nuptials? �10 on!

[angel21]

Take a killer as another example - who is there to blame for the way they turned out? I guess you can't pinpoint it on anyone but people will always blame the killer but what about the things in life that he has experienced maybe as a child that mght have led him down the wrong direction.

I suppose like China was saying we are all born with the same tools (bar a few i.e disabled), then the way we are nurtured comes into play and then I suppose it is down to the individual to form their own morals and views, and to decide how much of what they have learnt is good and bad, and it is down to the individual what they do with that knowledge.

I think self awareness plays a part too. Some people are more aware of themselves and how they are perceived and how things affect them more than others. Then once you are aware its down to self improvement. People don't spend enough time looking at themselves and improving themselves in an unacademic way in my opinion.
