Nurture: Socialization is needed and occurs because humans:

• have no instincts and so must learn everything
• have a long period of infant dependency
• have a need for social contact
• have the ability to learn and
  the capacity for language

To repeat: Most social scientists agree that, while biology does influence some portions of our personalities, human beings have no instincts. They bear artricial young- the newborns are incapable of caring for themselves. In the case of humans this dependency lasts up to 20 years (socially anyhow), perhaps longer. Sociologists therefore maintain that the self we develop is a result mainly of our social circumstances. However, it is a part of being human, being a primate, to nurture. Therefore, the nurture side is not entirely devoid of nature.
