That's because they are around their parents and their parents are supporting their child. Their parents might encourage them to do something or give praise for something that they are proud of about their children. For example, if a dad plays in the Major leagues and they a boy he will probably want to be in the Major Leagues. If he grew up liking baseball he probably has a passion in it.

    Our surroundings often shape our personalities and influence our individual qualities. In the nature versus nurture debate, in my opinion, I believe that humans are prone to adapt to the environment they're brought up in; meaning they contain a genetic disposition toward certain characteristics, however, they are revealed differently based on circumstances. I believe familial and social bonds, as well as academic and employment experiences most notably mold the person we become. As we all know, parents always want the best for us. They nurture us throughout our childhood and help us enter our adulthood well prepared.…

    In psychology, there is a very contentious topic called the “nature vs nurture” debate. The “nature” of the argument states that a child's personality, behavior, culture, etc. is shaped from their genes, and it is all hereditary. The “nurture” side of the debate argues that all these things are shaped from a child’s environment and experiences. The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates written by Wes Moore, supports the “nurture” side of the debate. The book follows the lives of two young boys, both with the same name, and how their environments and people around them influence their decisions and their futures.…

    The similarities that they share are, that like Chris some of them were athletic and succeeded in school. Another similarity that they share is that Chris and Ruess were both inspired by authors. Not only were they inspired by authors, but authors who wrote about living in the Last Frontier or in the wild. The last similarity I observed was that all the men shared the same desire and longing to live outside of society's standards. They didn’t want to live a perpetual lifestyle in civilization, they wanted to experience what it was like to live off the land.…

It also tries to explain how an individual’s unsatisfactory childhood experience…
