To begin with, nature is defined by our genetic makeup that is primarily shaped by a person’s temperament, intelligence and personality characteristics. For example, being yourself, or being who you are. If you believe you were already born with a personality, then you take the side of nature.

In The First Seven Years, the author, Bernard Malamud, tells the story of a poor shoemaker, Feld, who makes his life goal for his daughter to get the education he was unable to.
