One determinant?

I have always had a personal theory that we are created by our experiences in our lives. Although there are some other determinants that play a role in our human nature, I believe that personal experiences are the most significant. Although it has not been proven that there is a “nice” gene or personality genes that can be passed through generations, I think genetics plays a small role in our human nature. It is evident that the combination of genes in our bodies will give us the ability to act, think, and perform in certain ways. All of our experiences, whether small or enormous, will cause us to act and think in a certain way, and thus form our human nature. Certain experiences will force people to mature quicker or to see things differently, which directly affect their human nature. These experiences could be your religious experience, work, school, friends, death, as well as many other experiences. Evidently, there are many determinants that play a role in the formation of our human nature. One determinant cannot be held responsible for the way that all of the billions of people on this earth act, think, or perform. It is clear that we develop our morals, ethics, and beliefs all throughout our lives. Thus, these determinants are constantly affecting us and forming us, and therefore one determinant cannot withhold all of these responsibilities.
