Research indicates that the characteristics we are born with have much more influence on our personality and development than any experiences we may have in our life. Which do you consider to be the major influence?

It has been shown through some researches that genetic

factors

have more influence on human behaviours than environmental

factors

. In my ,perspective both life experience and inborn characteristics have equal influence on our

personality

traits.

This

essay will explore my view in details. It is hard to deny the

impact

of our genetic package on human characteristics.

This

means, from the colour of our eyes to the

personality

we have, all are formulated based on the genetic materials we acquired from our parents.

For instance

, it has been shown by scientists that people with borderline

personality

disorder have shown to have at least one close family members diagnosed with a similar disorder. In fact, our ancestors' genetic formula can dictate

we will become in the future in terms of both

personality

and development.

On the other hand

, we should not underestimate the role of environmental

factors

and experiences we gain by living in different environments on who we are.

This

includes the geographical, socioeconomic, and psychosocial

factors

that can all

impact

human traits.

In other words

, genetic itself is not the only determinant of ones'

personality

.

For instance

, according to numerous researches done on some identical twins, when they separate the environment they were living in, they discovered that other outside

factors

can

impact

their

personality

and developments.

Thus

, other than the genetic traits we are born with, they are other equally important components that can determine our

personality

. To sum up, it seems to me that both outside and inside

factors

can have an equal

impact

on our

personality

and development. Even though research is more emphasizing genetic as the main factor .
