Created Worlds: What Created Worlds Do To Us

Someones environment is essentially their world and like it or not, people are products of their environment. Although, that is not to say people are exact copies of their environment. In essence, a person's environment affects everything about them. Factors of environmental (world) influences include parents, media, location in which we grew up, country, and climate.

As a result of being exposed to our parents a multitude of times since birth, becoming them (on some level) is the inevitable. We're predisposed to their habits, ideals, and opinions without any objection. Parents establish our world from the time of conception will when we leave their house and stop feeding off their money.

Unfortunately, the media has a propensity to influence a persons world negatively. To illustrate, majority of advertisements for beauty products or clothes ONLY feature models with clear skin and skinny/muscular bodies; while in reality, majority of people do not look like that. As a result of these advertisements, men and women are starving themselves to points of lethal extremity. Not to mention, with more than half of those same advertisements, the models are photo-shopped: they're not even real people. Hence, harming their bodies and perception of reality (their minds).


The location in which we grow up influences us in a lot in our motives. Someone growing up on the south side of Chicago is not likely to have the same motives of someone growing up in the Northshore. Another example, a person growing up in a native village in Africa will not have the same motives as a person growing up in New York City.

A country is a world of itself due to the variance between each country. That being said, people of one country vary from a person of another country in respect to every avenue of life. For example, in Israel after a person has completed high school and turned 18, they are required to serve in the army. Talk toto an Israeli about their willingness to enlist and you'll be astounded by their sense of patriotism. Israeli's are proud to serve their country and look forward to doing it. Being in the service immediately following high school provides a sense of discipline, courage, and gratitude that Americans, for instance, lack. Unlike many Israeli's, many Americans do not feel obliged to their country (lack of patriotism) and often times take college immediately following high school for granted.

The climate in which people grow up influences their world more than we realize. For instances, some climates are warm and fertile and some are snowy and mountainous. The relevance: both climates are a potentially revenue producing environment (warm weather/fertile soil leads to year round farming and snowy-mountainous terrain leads to snow-sporting location. Both, which can make a persons world financial stable). In addition, people who live in warm/sunny climates tend to be happier than people living in cloudy/grey areas (these environments often times contribute to depressing a person).

In summary, the worlds in which we live in and or grow up in are the premise of the foundation that we call ourselves. If you think about it (based on what is discussed above), we are not very original at all. We're all just products of our environment.
