Determinism

Do you have control over these factors?

• Who your parents are (ethnicity, education, wealth, social class and so on)
• Where you are from (Continent, country, city, suburbs and neighborhood and so on)
• Which school you go to (primary school and guidance school)
• Your name, first and last
• Your relatives
• The era you live in (old, modern, post-modern and so on)
• Your gender and appearance
• Genetics

And we know the importance of all these factors in creation of one's identity. Psychology states that human beings gain their BS by the age of 3, MS by the age of 4 and PhD by the age of 6. It means that by the age of 6 you have formed your behavioral pattern which is responsible for what kind of person you will be in the future. Most abnormalities and personality traits can be traced back to some one's childhood conditions. Should I be proud of myself that I am a peaceful or resolute person?
