Child of rage

I watched the documentary Child of Rage  which is ultimately about Nature and Nurture. Beth Thomas was abused when she was very young by her birth parents, they would not feed her and left her and her brother almost to fend for themselves when they were just a couple months of age. Beth had endured serious neglect as a child, her mother died at 1 and because of this she never developed a sense of love or trust for anyone (nurture). She received sexual abuse from her birth father and this lead on to her exhibiting sexual behaviour particaularky towards her brother, this also lead her to start molesting her brother and regularly masturbating. Because of the early abusive and violent nurture Beth endured this shaped her into a severely angry and monstrous individual even though this only happened for around 2 years of the beginning of her life. The nature of her fathers sadistic ways could also be said to be passed down to her through genes. This documentary is extremely interesting in response to Nature/ Nurture, as it just shows how important it is in shaping a person, it also responds to the nature nurture debate, as you could be born with certain traits or genes but the environment you grow up around ( in Beth's case abuse and violence) can bring these traits that might not necessarily ever be acted upon, to the surface.
