Reflect on your own personal development. Is what you have become a product of heredity or environment, or a product of both? How'd you say so?

Each individual has a different pattern of behaviors and personality. This difference is seen due to the influence of heredity and environment. Heredity and environment plays an important role in the development of the personality and other qualities in the individual. Man's behavior is is influenced by two forced named Heredity and Environment. Heredity is a biological process of transmission of certain traits of behavior of the parents to their children, by means of the fertilized eggs. No person can be born by heredity and genres cannot be develop without proper environment. An individual's heredity is present since the moment of conception, and some environmental condititions also start influencing him from this very stage. While environment refers to one's surroundings. The environment of a person can also affects its development. Environment is nothing but the sum total of the surroundings in which an individual has to live. Psychologically an individual's environment is related to all those stimuli which he faces from the moment of fertilization 'till death. Environment is generally divided into two categories, the natural and social. Natural environment refers to all things and forces on and around the earth that influence a person. And social environment we mean the environment which the person sees around himself on acquiring consciousness in the society. In my own assumptions, my personal development is a product of both heredity and environment. Because we all know that once we're born, those genes from our parents is adopted by ours from the color of skins, shape of face, color of eyes, everything will be adopted to our biological parents. And as we grow up, the environment takes place. It develops our personality in everyday life we have. From the moment we are learning new things, it is because of environment. We can learn different skills, talents, abilities, informations, and ideas by interacting to others and put them into actions what informations we are adopting to them. And also, having a good and bad genes will not satisfied because of what environment you have. So that I can say I am both product of heredity and environment, because through heredity, I have those genes came from my parents and because of nutrients show and gave by my environment, I develop as a person who has different kind of abilities and talents that can help in my life as a person.
