Answer 9

Yeah I totally agree. I just did this in psychology at A2. It's the traditional nature vs nurture debate, like we're affected by our genes (nature), which implement on our lives to a certain extent, but also by our environment (family, friends,etc) as we are growing up. Both of these are believed to influence our personality and I agree with the nature vs nurture debate.  

Answer 10

Answer 11

Yes I agree. However, I think how you are brought up is becomes more than half of what you become, more around 75%. What you learn when you start in life is with you forever, but environments and situations change and alter all the time.  

Answer 12

Its also called social conditioning

We are born with only 2 fears

1) fear of falling

2) fear of loud noise

everything else we pick up along the way

any other fears phobias addictions or

compulsions are just learned habit

Answer 13

We are all born with a blank slate (Tabula Rasa).

The first part of our personality is built on our experience of how we percieve the world around us and the second part is based on reasoning.
