Question 10 of 9 • Sociology – 4-132
Answer:
Cultural environment determines the basic types of personalities that will be found in society. Each culture gives rise to a series of personality traits. For example, in the United States, competitiveness, assertiveness, and individualism are common personality traits. How we experience our culture also influences our personalities, for example whether we are born male or female, as the two are treated differently from the moment of birth. The region of the country or the type of neighborhood in which an individual is raised also affects personality.
