 FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO
VARIATION

Variation
Variation refers to the differences or diversity that
can be observed among individuals or things. It can
be seen in various aspects, such as physical
characteristics, behaviors, beliefs, and experiences.
Variation is what makes each person unique and
distinct from others.
Factors that contribute to variation:
The following are the factors that contribute to
variation:
1. Genetics:
Our unique genetic makeup
determines physical traits like eye color, hair
type, and height. For example, some people
may have inherited curly hair while others have
straight hair.
2. Environment:
The environment we grow up in
influences our beliefs, values, and behaviors.
For instance, individuals raised in different
countries may have distinct cultural practices
and languages.

3. Culture:
Cultural backgrounds shape our
perspectives and behaviors. For example,
people from different cultures may have
diverse traditions, such as celebrating different
holidays or wearing specific types of clothing.

4. Upbringing:
Our upbringing, including our
parents' parenting style and values, impacts our
personalities. For instance, someone raised in a
 strict household may have a more disciplined
approach to life.

5. Education:
The knowledge and skills we
acquire through education can greatly vary. For
example, individuals with a background in
science may have a different understanding of
the natural world compared to those with a
background in art.

6. Socioeconomic Status:
Factors like income and
access to resources can influence opportunities
and lifestyles. For example, someone with a
higher socioeconomic status may have more
access to quality education and healthcare.
7. Gender:
Gender identity and societal expectations
associated with gender can shape individuals'
experiences. For instance, gender roles may
influence the types of careers people pursue or
the activities they participate in.

8. Personal Choices:
The decisions we make in
life, such as career paths or hobbies, contribute
to our unique identities. For example, someone
choosing to pursue a music career will have a
different skill set and experience compared to
someone in a different field.

9. Age:
Different age groups have distinct
perspectives, abilities, and life experiences. For
example, children may have different interests
and capabilities compared to adults.

Variances in physical and mental health
can greatly impact individuals' lives. For

personality, which influences their behavior,
preferences, and interactions with others. For
example, some individuals may be more
introverted, while others are more extroverted.

12. Interests and Hobbies:

Our interests and
hobbies contribute to our individuality. For
instance, someone who enjoys painting will have a
different skill set and artistic style compared to
someone who enjoys playing sports.
13. Life Experiences:
Our past experiences, such as
travel, relationships, and achievements, shape who
we are. For example, someone who has traveled
extensively may have a broader perspective on
different cultures.

people may be more direct in their communication
style, while others are more indirect.

talents and skills, whether it's in music, sports,
writing, or other areas. For example, someone may
have a natural talent for playing the piano, while
another person excels in mathematics.
