role of nuture(environment):

main contribution to how a person develops is made by influence of the people and situations that person faces throughout his life which can modify his personality.when a child excels in academics it is because of his hardwork and good teaching background.parents upbringing also plays a role in this regard.often we see personalities which resembels between the parent and the child.it is largely because children mimic their parents.this is how environment shapes the personality of a person.
