Role model

Different human beings living in today’s world have different personalities. It is almost impossible to find two persons having completely same personalities. Though there are possibilities that some of the character traits may match but complete similarity is impossible. This is beauty of nature and, at the same time, the effects of the circumstances. The personality of a person is formed through a complex process, involving DNA, microbiology, psychology and sociology.

It is easy to answer some hard questions such as what does DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) stands for. One who studies in microbiology gets that answer in one second. For some easy questions, where does your character and personality come from? It is hard to answer such easy questions. One needs more time to get the answer. Psychologists may be concerned about one’s childhood period and family environment.

The character and personality is under the control of inherited genes but also is influenced by the environment. It is generally believed that the influence came from a family member during the childhood period and would spread to adulthood. To make a good character and personality for children, a family member needs to be a good role model. Someone might consider the influence one has and how the environment impacts his or her personality. All the people around children account for the impact of influential people. The role model person might be anyone close to you or might be a hero, heroine or great scientist.

It is hard to identify that character and personality are under the control of inherited genes or how they are influenced by their environment. Good personality and character are mostly designed by myriads of factors and their mutual interactions.

Therefore, there is no universal factor that may determine the personality or character of a person. However, there are great possibilities that a role model may have great influence on the development of one’s character. It is very crucial and influential factor in the improvement of a person that he or she had better have a  perfect and ideal role model in his/her life.
