What do you think the most important factor in a persons upbringing is and why?

I think that the most important factor in a persons upbringing is their parents/caregivers. A parents job is to take care of you when you’re growing up, because you’re around them so much they become a large influence on your nurture. The possibility of them being good or bad parents won’t change the fact that they affect you, only how they affect you. If your parents teach you the right things and to be caring and generous you would most likely become like that, if your parents neglect you or fight or have any problems you may be brought up differently and not know what’s wrong to right, although this is not always the case, people with “bad” parents could come up to be very kind and caring, maybe because they see them and don’t want to become like them.

What traits do you believe are collectively human? What characteristics are ‘human nature’?
