Our personalities are predetermined as a result of our genes before we are born and there is nothing that can be done to change our character traits. To what extent do you agree?

It is suggested that we tend to inherit our personalities from our parents and we do not have a chance to alter them. I do not support
this
view. Admittedly, some
traits
come to us through our genes.
For example
