Where does free will fit into the whole nature vs nurture debate? According to free will believers, nature vs nurture is a meaningless debate since you can just materialize whatever you want in life through "positive thinking", "taking risks", and "working hard".

I don't understand evaluation when it comes to issues & debates. Am I evaluating the debate as a whole or am I finding evaluation which supports each side of the debate?
