What is the name of the Sociological theory...?

Question

I'm looking for the theory that says you're a product of the environment in which you were rasied. It's a basic one, I just can't remember the name right now.

It's the one that contends that deviants only act in the ways they do because of their upbringing.

Answer 1

Social determinism, the opposite of biological determinism.

Answer 2

I second the answer above.

Check out the Wikipedia entry, it might help.
