Answer 1

The answer is "Nature vs. Nurture".

The nature versus nurture debate is about the logical, social, and philosophical open deliberation about whether human culture, conduct, and identity are caused basically by nature or nurture. Nature is frequently characterized in this verbal confrontation as hereditary or hormone-based practices, while nurture is most generally characterized as condition and experience.
