Nature/Nurture?

Hello!
Personally, I think that the experiences of childhood have a great effect on a person's development. Nature can be overcome with enough nurture, if the nurture is good enough, and nurture can effect a person's nature, eg if I were raised by wolves, their nurture would overcome my human nature and I would act like a wolf.
Also, the sociaty one lives in has a great influence- if one is raised in a society where certain things are wrong or the norm, you would come to share those beliefs.
Fell free to prove me wrong, correct me spelling, etc.

thanks a lot tyler!
ur answer really helped me. but while answering those essay questions, the examiner usually requires us to give examples from other studies too. for example, in this case, we could relate the answer to the hodges and tizard study. the main thing is building up the perfect answer using proper examples and quotes etc. can u help me out here then?
thanks a lot buddy!
