People have different views on whether innate nature exerts the biggest influence on the personality we exhibit or not.
Although
our characteristics usually are shaped before we are born to some extent, I do believe that external factors Linking Words
such
as experiences are much more important in shaping our personality.
On the one hand, innate characteristics determine our personality to some extent. Linking Words
Firstly
, genetics play an important role in determining our temperament and the decisions we make. Linking Words
For example
, children especially in their childhood are more likely to make the same decision as that made by their parents without knowing. Linking Words
Additionally
, brain structure and chemistry can Linking Words
also
impact our cognitive abilities and emotional responses.

However
, we are more likely to be influenced by external factors. Linking Words
To begin
with, education is a determining factor in shaping who we are. To be specific, those receivers of formal and systematic education usually have a wider range of knowledge and acute insights compared with those people who lack corresponding learning experiences. Linking Words
Furthermore
, working experience and lessons would Linking Words
further
influence our spirits and temperament, either facilitating our growth or hindering our development. Linking Words
For instance
, those people who are willing to learn from lessons and apply the knowledge they learn to reality usually are more likely to succeed in their career path. Linking Words
Besides
, our family environment and the upbringing we received shape our values and our behaviours. Take those children who are brought up in a notable family as an example, they usually exhibit a higher level of self-esteem and confidence.
In conclusion, Linking Words
while
I can understand the reason why someone thinks that we are what we were born, in most cases, the innate characteristics would not Linking Words
last
long and would be replaced and influenced by life experience. Linking Words
Therefore
, I would argue that it is the external factors that shape who we are most.Linking Words
