Family as a basic unit stands as one thing that has had a significant influence on my life. Reviewing my childhood, my parents have always shown immense concern in their nurturing role. They were always available whenever I needed them for counsel and support. Through their support, I learned how to interact and socialize with others. This has not changed since they are always accessible, and I always refer to them whenever I need their help.
As a result of the close relationship between nurture and nature, I believe the two undeniably influence our lives. In this case, it is essential to realize that one’s environment and genes play a significant role in determining the outcome of people’s lives (Bekir, 2020). For instance, if one is born into a family whose most members are musicians, the person is also likely to pursue the same course due to increase music exposure from the environment. Similarly, if one is from a scientist’s background, he is expected to follow the same trend due to encounters. The influence of nurture also allows children to produce and learn using mental abilities inherited from their parents. For this reason, I believe the two factors in question here play critical roles in influencing people’s lives.
Socialization involves the process where a person tends to behave and adjust to particular patterns in a manner universally acceptable by individuals interested in the interaction. Those who fail to socialize will likely forego significant opportunities and experiences (Bekir, 2020). One of the major things that we tend to relinquish in the absence of socialization is the chance to learn how to interact and communicate with others effectively (Bekir, 2020). In this case, human beings fail to get the need for cooperation and unity in various facets. Therefore, children’s socialization needs to be encouraged at a young age because it enables them to learn how to operate in society.
