Nature warping Nurture

It would seem that, as far as the debates between what shapes humans, Nature or Nurture, the main aspect of humans this debate is about is for what kind of personalities people have. And for that case, I think that it is all about what a person's nature is, or more specifically, how that nature modifies whatever nurturing is given to the individual. A person will have certain predispositions to various lines of thinking, and those guidelines also determine what kinds of guidance they are willing to accept, and what kinds of ideals and rules they would adopt from others or adopt in modified forms. Effectively, human nature is one that gives individuals varying levels of interest in creating their own rules and ideals by adopting and modifying the rules of others. One end of the scale would be someone who makes their own rules with almost no input from outside sources, and the opposite end would be those who simply accept whatever rules they are told to follow. Effectively, one's Nature determines how much their Nurture will affect them.
