Cultural factors and our biological traits work together in how we grow and develop.
Biological Traits: Our genes play a big role in who we are. They can explain about 40-60% of why people are different in things like smartness and personality.
Cultural Influences: The culture we grow up in affects our behavior. For example, in cultures that value community, people may act differently than in cultures that focus more on individuality.
How They Work Together: Think about a child who might be naturally aggressive. Their behavior can be changed by the cultural rules on how to handle fights or disagreements.
This shows how both our nature and our environment shape us in complex ways.
