If i wrote an essay on it i can waffle it :
The environment in which we are raised plays a KEY ROLE in shaping
our personalities:
* Our parents,
* Our schools
* Our community
* Our Religion
* The broader nation in which we reside
All play a huge role in how our personalities are shaped.
We may be born with a genetic predisposition but the extent to which
this gains full functional significance can be hindered or fostered by our environment.
