Roles of different people in influencing a person’s aspiration and character We often hear that a person is the result of other people’s impact. The question is who forms a person most of all. Studies of the recent 50 years show that the basis of trust in the world and self-belief are formed during the first life year. That is why it is so crucial for a child to get enough love and care from one close person, not only a mother, who would take responsibility over him. Further five-six years are for learning social roles and behavior models which again are usually taken from parents and elder siblings. If parents manage to build confidential relations with their children, they stay friends even in their children’s early teens and adulthood. On the other hand, if a child doesn’t get support from his parents or even doesn’t have any family at all, it is much more difficult for him to stay stable his whole life long. Not only do such people adjust themselves to society with difficulty but they also often become crimes. A person is developed also under the influence of his peers, especially in growing age when reputation and acceptance becomes so vivid. A lot of decisions are made at one with friends, e.g. taking up hobbies, reading specific books, forming world outlook and choosing future occupation. Often a person’s destiny and success or failure depends on which friends surround him. On balance, I believe that nothing can substitute a family because the deep and sometimes even not deliberate attitude to life is formed namely by the closest relatives.
