First of all, the genes are the most important because they bring heritage to our live on a daily
basis. In sequence comes our parents, they are the ones who try to show us what kind of
behaviour are the most correct, politically correct, to each situation. After, the education is
fundamental to define many aspects to who we are. In fourth place our friends display a tone
of conducts for each kind of circumstances even them being good or bad. Follwing I chose the
country we live in due to the influence of native rules and regulations. On six place I opted the
language we speak, since I have been living in two countries in fifty years time, and many
grammar terms and idioms they manifest actions regarding people and conditions to certain
decision making on way of acting. The last one, the way we look, influences concerning the
body fit, the clothes we dress, they tell us that impacts our relationship with others.

the donor’s personality could take control of the person receiving
the transplant.
