How to use "Nurture" in context?
Many people view "nurture" as the complete opposite of "nature." They believe that nature is everything that we are not supposed to tamper with, while nurture is everything that we are supposed to do in order to make someone into a proper citizen. What these people do not know is that there are many types of nurture, and that we need all of them in order to create healthy and happy people.
One type of nurture is what we commonly refer to as parental guidance or explicit instruction. This type of nurture is necessary in order to teach our children the proper etiquette and morals.
