Choice or Reality?

In Psychology, colleges and universities teach about the great debate of nature versus nurture. Wikipedia defines the terms like this: Nature vs Nurture is a shorthand expression for debates about the relative importance of an individual's innate qualities ("nature") versus personal experiences ("nurture") in determining or causing individual differences in physical and behavioral traits. With the development of human genetics, many important human traits have proved to be partially or mostly genetic.

The question that comes to mind is: are some issues nature but our actions a choice of nurture?
