What is the difference of animals and humans? Not much, the target of both is to survive!
This seems to be a bit extreme, but it' s true. Both animals and humans are controlled by their instincts. Otherwise we were not able to survive over that long time. It is facinating how fast a baby can learn and how clever it is. The nature is something that the science can not replace completly. Maybe it could never be explained and discovered even if scientists are this opinion. For this reason it will always leave some space for the facinating development of humans and animals and also the fascination how the environment functions because everything work together.
Nevertheless, our instincts lead us, but what we do with our live depends on the nurture. Therefore, the parents have an immense responsibility for their children. They should be raised in a way that respects their personality, but also they have to respect the society. Children don' t know what' s right and wrong and how they have to behave. Hopefully, these things will be educated to every child.
There is no clear border for behaviour if it' s inherited or influeced by nurture. Most things are influenced by both of them and the science have no clear evidence for a few things to which category it should be counted.

One of my favorite authors, Stephen Pinker, thinks that people in the last 50 years interpreted too much in favor of nurture. He advocates that we understand our behaviors as natural or strongly influenced by nature. This is so (so, so, so) controversial when it comes to things like violence, crime, drug abuse, and differences between races and genders.
I'm still not sure what to think. :)
I also agree most of the things of human beings are related to both of them.
I can't just devide certainly which one is immune, and which one is learned.
However, through this lecture, I could recognize which one is closer than the other. Moreover, I have learned about human or animal's various behaviors that I haven't known before.
Good environment is very important for Children to go on the right way.Instinct is disable to change for us but behavior can. Each person or each family has different strategy to feed their kids, and there is not corect answer how we can train the kids to make best but,I think, we can make better than we have so far.
