It is often believed that human behaviour is pre determined by factors of nature, as do some very prominent anthropologists and everyday people. But it is very evident that the outcome of the majority of our behaviour is shaped by factors of nurture. This suggestion is justified by the case studies of "Kamala and Amala – The Feral Children", Margaret Mead and studies of the grassroots of our culture.
             The most important proof of the impact of nurture towards human behaviour is primarily found in the studies of Margaret Mead. Mead had studied 3 different tribes on the Samoan islands – The Arapesh, The Mundugamor and the Tchambuli. The members of the Arapesh tribe were found to be very humble, and displayed very minimal aggression towards others. The Mundugamor tribe was quite the opposite. It was a society that was lead to believe that others were to be considered possible enemies, and girls and boys were treated harshly and were forced to fend for themselves. The last tribe studied was the Tchambuli. Members of the Tchambuli was the more interesting case, as the roles of the men and females had been reversed. Women were viewed as being the central and most influencial group of people in the tribe, as the Men were often excluded from tribal gatherings. Margaret Mead thus concluded that "Traits that we associate with masculinity and femininity were the result of early learning, not heredity" (Page 27). This quote and 3 cases prove that people raised in different societies tend to have different behaviour and ways of thinking. This example could even be applied to people that had been raised in isolation from all people in the wild, as found in the next argument.
             The Feral children, better known as "Kamala" and "Amala" is a prime example of how having absolutely no human contact can change a person's habit and behaviour completely. Both Kamala and Amala were unable to spea
