this means that our character traits as adults are largely determined before we
are born- and there is very little that we, or anybody else, can do to change them.
Person innate characters are resultant of genes and cannot do anything to alter. I
disagree with the statement because there are ways to change the aspects of an
individual by proper mentoring and influence of the surroundings.
Since, the attributes of a human can be inherent but there is the possibility to
adapt other traits by proper mentoring.Nowadays there are various platforms
where they offer different courses to change the character of a person through
keen analyses of their abilities and assisting them with suitable mentor, who
guide them to incorporate the new trait. To illustrate,recently a new programme
has launched on YouTube, named Mindvalley, which helps several people to
develop new aspects in their lives by assigning them with tutors.
On the other hand, human's natural behaviours are not constant, they are greatly
influenced by the surrounding. Though genes are responsible for the initial
temperament of an individual, but these are greatly changed by the environment
and surrounding people in where they grow. To illustrate, Oxford university
conducted experiments on 100 students by keeping them in a happy and convivial
environment, who are reserved in character by birth. Out of 100, 70 students
have changed their behaviour by learning happiness in life and adopted the ability
to express their feelings well.
In conclusion, the traits of a human can be hereditary, but suitable guidance and
environment affects the characters that they have had. In my opinion, nothing
can be constant everything can be altered with determination and by focusing on
what to change.
