Lesson 3 : We are a conditioned people There are different elements in life that shapes an individual into who he is FAMILY CULTURE ENVIRONMENT CHARACTER & PERSONALITY Personality, on the other hand, is defined as the traits with which you were born. People tend to be either analytical in nature or socially outgoing. Most people fall into the realm of being either extroverted or introverted. Other common distinctions are dominant, influencing, steady, or compliant personalities. Personality is inborn. Character, however, comes from learned behavior inside your early relationships. This learning comes from both observation and interaction with your parents, teachers, and other social networks. While character does have an “inborn” link due to its finite relationship to personality, character is actually designed and developed from and during our early relationships until they become ingrained. Character as well as belief and value systems are inherently linked. Does this mean that character is not changeable? No, character can be changed purposely in order to better get along in groups or it can vary situationally. An example of situational character is the person who never misses a church service but does have absences at work. Or vice versa. Character traits are the attitudes and beliefs that you have toward your life, work, family, and community. Character traits may be positive, negative, or somewhere in between. There is a direct link between positive character traits and a happy and successful life. Negative character traits that have been “strongly and long” ingrained usually do cause strife at some point. Be conditioned with a postive mindset
