Nature is like the outdoors and wilderness. Ex: I love nature and its scenery.
Nurture is to take care of, feed, and/or protect someone or something.
Ex: The mother stays home to nurture her child.

Answer: Nature assumes that you are you because of your genetics. It states that you are no more than the sum of your DNA. Nurture states that you are you because of your environment and past experiences.

Explanation: Nature: Pitbulls attack people because they are naturally an aggressive breed. Nurture: Pitbulls attack people because the people who find these big, powerful dogs attractive as a pet tend to raise them in a manner that affects their personality to make them aggressive.
