Whereas some of the social scientists think that physical environment leaves a little impact on the development of a personality&period; More or less&comma; the behavior of person belonging to the hilly area can be different than the person belonging to the plain area&period; The behavior of people living in the cold areas like Russia may be different from the behavior of people living in the warm areas like Saudi Arabia&period; So for the healthy personality&comma; a healthy physical environment can be beneficial&period;

A man is an animal and the culture is what which turns an animal into a social animal&period; In the same way&comma; it affects the personality of an individual&period; The languages&comma; experiments&comma; punishments&comma; rewards&comma; norms&comma; rules and regulations of a society can be learnt through the culture&period; Every society has its own cultural characteristics&period; For example the regular mosque goers in Islamic society are considered as good people&period;

Poverty&comma; illiteracy&comma; inflation&comma; over population&comma; unemployment and terrorism are some of the important social problems which create hurdles in the process of personality development&period; For example the personalities of Dutch people are far better than the personalities of Tamil Tigers&period; This is all because of social conditions of a particular society&period; <&sol;p>&NewLine;<p align&equals;"justify">&&num;160&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h3 align&equals;"justify">Summary<&sol;h3>&NewLine;<p> <strong><&sol;strong> <&sol;p>&NewLine;<p align&equals;"justify">&NewLine;Personality is the totality of behavior of a man which makes him&sol;her different from other members of the society&period;
