Culture -vs- Personality

Here's a good topic for discussion, how much of your personality is driven by your culture? How much of YOU is wrapped up in your culture, and how much of your culture is wrapped up in you?

I challenge you all to believe that you are actually entirely a product of your perception of your culture. That is the only place we can begin developing our actual personality.

I believe we have a certain amount of innate personality before we are born, like general right and wrong, but other than rote personality we are heavily affected by our surroundings.

We learn how to make decisions, we learn how to perceive things. That perception drives personality and the perception comes from our home culture which is driven by societal norms, which is the culture!

There you have it, the answer is both, culture and personality chicken and egg......

Love to you all
