The interplay of heredity and environment in the development of an individual’s knowledge and skills are so inherently important that both factors leave traces and markes on the individual that make him distinct from others.
Aspects of an Individual’s Personality • Mental • Emotional • Social • Physical • Moral • Spiritual
Mental Aspect • This refers to his intellectual capacity. How a person talks, the range of ideas he expresses, and the things he talks about, as well as his values and mental alertness give evidence of his mental capacity. • The mental aspects depend upon the intelligence. Also, the better the education, the better the personality.
Emotional Aspect • A person’s emotional makeup is shown in his likes and dislikes, whether he is aggressive or docile, how he responds when things become difficult, how quickly he is given to anger, or whether he can take a job or not.
Social Aspect • This is seen in how well a person conducts himself with other people and how well he observes the rules of etiquette that govern society. • Social attitudes and behavior are affected by physiological conditions and changes, mental alertness, and the extent of emotional maturity.
Physical Aspect • Heredity and environment determine the entire physiological system of an individual. Posture, body build and size, complexion and facial expressions, as well as the appropriateness and condition of clothes, comprise the physical appearance of a person.
Moral Aspect • This aspect of personality has to do wtih a person’s awareness of the difference between what is wrong or right.
Spiritual Aspect • People are generally religious but they differ in what they worship and how they worship. From the moral lectures they hear from their respective leaders, priests, or pastors, they acquire knowledge of the teachings of their Creator that guide the lives of men. The spiritual aspect is the consciousness of the higher values in life. Religion expresses spiritual value.
