What makes a person who they are—is it in their genes, their upbringing, their family circumstances, their reputations, or something else? Explain your answer, using evidence from the text, your own experience, and other art, literature, or history.

There is no single question that defines the personality of an individual, nor his essence as being. Thus, factors such as genetics can influence certain issues such as physical appearance and, in certain cases, character; But these characteristics are modified by other factors such as upbringing, which instills moral values in the individual through his family; their own experience and history, both family and personal, which determines the perception that the person will have regarding certain events; his social environment, which will shape his character and his self-perception, as well as his image in front of third parties; and his purpose in life, which will determine the person to follow a certain course of life.
