The "nurture vs. nature" debate is a given in most discussions on why people become who they become. Due to the challenges of the discussion, we most often settle somewhere between the due - part of who we are stems from our genes, part from our environment. It's a fairly safe agreeement to reach. I came across an interesting article today that adds a third dimension - context - to the discussion: "The ability to behave differently in different social settings and with different social partners is a built-in survival mechanism. What works in one setting won't necessarily work in another."
