TOPIC: Heredity or environment? How much influence does each

have?
The primary factors of development Personality of human depend upon two main factors

1:Heridity and genetic factors

2:Enviromental factors

The heridity is passing on of traits from parents to their offspring and contionus from generation to

generation it,s not necessery that child must have some property like their parents but ruther it transfer

from generation to generation like some property of their grandparents .

Heridity is more resposible for physical attributes like our eye colour hair colour straight or curly

.Heridity is not only physical attributes but also emotion perception.

Now the Enviromental factor which is also play a vital role on the development of personality of

humen being the world around us are also influence the personality for the childrens the

enviroment like school family friends even nighbours are also influence it.The most important

the family relations b/c the childrens are mirror images and the behave like their family.

Let us take the example of Dr Abdul Salam .He belongs from poor family and having no proper

social life but the pasitivity of the family change the life from a normal humen being to a great

scientist.

Twin study:

According to modern research that the most traits 50% influence by genetic and 50% by enviromental

effect.The two identical twins one having disease while other have not this is the reason of two identical

twins the on/off genes of identical twins the turning on and off of the genes not difference in DNA

Because the identical twin share the DNA.

There were two twins sisters adopted by differnt family in UK after reserch they found different

property from one another and different IQ level even they share their DNA but b/c of circle they have

differnt level of understanding it,s all b/c of the enviroment they get and the education but also they

have some similar property like short tempring both are strong in mathematics and week in History it,s

all because of their genes .

Feral Children

Feral childrens are those childrens whose isolated from humen being at very young age they don,t have

any humen care ,loving or socail behavier and crucially humen language.

One of famous feral child Oxana Malaya one of the bigger feral child at the time when she was three

years old she was abanded by alcoholic parents alone and out side and living with the dogs after five

years the beighbours disover the a little girl living with the dog during her years as feral child she picked

up every trait from canine cmpanions she think that she was a dog but after twenty years of therapy and

education she can able the speak and act as a reqular humen being .

Here in case of oxana the enviroment play a vital role in her personality b/c in early age she even think

that she was like an animal but after getting a education and enviroment she was able to live like reguler

humen in society.

There is currently unknown number of childrens growing up with out any family around the globe and
