Essay I - Genes Human being shares many characteristics, but each individual has his unique personality and style. A new research reclaims that the characteristics we are born with play the biggest role in forming our personality, although others think it has nothing to do with genes, and it’s all about life experience. When it comes to me, I think a human personality is built by the experience and knowledge he gains throughout the years. Childhood plays a vital role in forming the next years of a person’s life. Raising a child in a convenient good environment is not likely to raise him in a bad troubled one, that’s why family and school have a vast role on the development of the children and raising them properly. Family has the most part, as it deals with the children from the very beginning and teaches him the good values and how to be an effective part in the society. School doesn’t only tend to teach children Math and Science, but it also gives them a great social experience, the importance of following the law and being a good citizen. A man whose roots are from a strong loved family and a good educational background won’t have the same confidence and personality as the one who has a history of family abuse and lack of education quality. Our personality isn’t only formed from the childhood and teenage years, but also from the experience we gain in the following years of life. Experience and skills enable a man to get over different situations and problems he may face in his life. Genes have nothing to do with the decisions a man make or a skill he acquires, but hard working and past experience are the reasons. Professionals have reached their level of quality by training hard not because their parents have the same level or skill they maintain. A person’s actions and decisions are mainly derived by his knowledge and previous experience he has from similar situations. Each individual has to do his best to have a successful career and better life based on his skills and efforts, not something he believes he was born with. Genes affect enormously on our physical shape not our deeds. A human success is pushed by working hard and seeking to acquire more skills in order to increase his self-confidence and improve his personality.
