What we have here is a classic case of nature v.s. nurture. And none of us are wrong because they are both valid scientific arguments.
cool believes that nature supplies us with traits and instincts that dictate our behaviour and that we cannot change our nature.
Whereas I believe (and I am not the only one) that we can subvert our own nature through psychological means and that we are mostly influenced through social interaction, personal values and morals, etc.
That is all.
Ideally, we can acknowledge both nature and nurture. We have too much in common with other people of our own gender to ignore the nature aspect. BUT we must acknowledge how social constructs affect our behaviour as well.
closing arguments, please...
