I have big english test on tuesday, about "What creates a personality", im going to write an essay about what creates a personality, I would like to have help for some examples.. thanks.
EDIT: ops, the thread name.. is quite wrong since it isnt a homework… Or the homework was to plan what to write about... bah shit the same. :P and we could use this thread to an official homework help thread..
:blink: Forget homework, you could write a thesis paper on that.
Dunno…...really.
Maybe....how people take in certain things? That seems to be a big way to determine personality, imo.
Influences from people around you.
1. Family
I wish I was still in college. Then I could post my homeworks or essays and some of you would help revising/proofreading/etc xD
Does this have to be like, in relation to actual English literary elements or do you have to derive it from actual stuff O_o ?
Hmm, heard of a test sometime, well actually a friend told me about it.
It was how persons act like persons they like or who seems nice.
Think they put some people together in a room, and some people acted like one person who seemed nice, example: they sat, moved, laughed and talked the same way that the nice guy did.
I think they also put them in a room with a rude and unpleasant guy and they pretty much ignored him.
Hmm, seemed alot more interesting when my friend told me about it, but it was a long time ago, don't remember it very well.
to add to ocean's list…
zodiac (western)
zodiac (eastern)
blood type
it might be interesting to say personality is based on something random like the stars or something...

Personality is pretty broad, alot of things factor into it. Family, friends, enemies (or people you don't want to be like), culture, values, ethics, religion, time periods…
The list goes on for a while.
Oh yeah, some people say personality depends on holoscope. But I also heard it really depends on when you were born. If you're a winter baby, your parents will worry about you catching a cold, so it affects the baby somewhat. Baby get nervous. On the other hand, if you're a summer baby, your parents don't care so much. Baby will become big hearted. Or something like that ~.~
I second what omae and carly said. If this is just a paper you have to write about personality you'll be stuck for a loooooooooong time sifting through sociology, psychology, and anthropology textbooks and other similar material. If you're doing this in the context of a story or a group of stories then it becomes easier, but you didn't give us the books.
media, example Animes, tv. Media affects personality a lot since many people believe whatever done by the media is correct.
how the person is brought up also affects ( Majority of rich peeps kids who are always pampered tend to be snobs)
