“An individual’s interaction with others and the world around them can enrich or limit their experiences of belonging.” Discuss this view with detailed reference to your prescribed text and ONE other related text of your own choosing. While the nature vs nurture debate still faces a hung jury, it is true that nurture, or our exposure to the outside world, plays a key role in human development, particularly concerning each individual’s evolving perceptions and experiences.
