Personally, I think that the way you are brought up molds who you are. I watched a video about a girl who was locked in a bedroom for over 10 years of her life & when she was finally let out she had no social skills. She acted like some kind of wild animal. It is odd because I don't know anyone like that & I'm sure most people don't, but was she like that because all she knew from the beginning of her life was being by herself?
When I look at my friends & even my family members, I can see their parents in them. They all act very similarly to them & that is because those people were the foundation of who they are. For example, I have a cousin who is in college now & he is so much like my uncle.. it's crazy. My uncle is a police officer & all my cousin's life that's what he has wanted to be. He is now majoring in criminal justice. The same can be said for another cousin of mine. Her mom, my aunt, & my mom all started off as spanish teachers & now my cousin is in her last year at U of I studying to become a spanish teacher.
People are the same as their parents. I believe it is because they have watched their parents & sort of used them as a model as they grew up. It is interesting how much an effect people & certain situations can have on people.
I agree that kids are greatly influenced by their parents and the way that they are raised. Parents pass down their morals and opinions to their children who then grow up living their life the same way their parents do.
