Relating to Relationships

I still think that nurture and the environment that we live in along with the experiences that we have as we develop into adults are the main points that shape us as individuals. It's not the genes from family members that make us sarcastic or emotional, it is simply the family members themselves.
What I don't understand is the fact that debaters on the subject don't seem to want to change their viewpoint in any way. You would think that giving into the parts that you can agree with on the otherside would make your argument all the more concrete. As Coleridge points out. But maybe its stubborness, the act of not wanting to be wrong, or perhaps as stated above, they simply can not give into any other side in the smallest degree because that is not how they were taught. Again, its not in the genes, it's in the relationships one has with the people and the world around them.
