Genetics+environment+chance factors= human behaviorus. We can alter some genetic traits to some extent by altering the environment accordingly. For example, if a person s father and mother are diabetic (genetic factor), the chances are very high for him to get diabetes. But, if it is understood and some life style changes, i. E. Diet habits, physical activities etc. Are made, at least he can prolong the time period of onset of the desease. Likewise, you can alter your emotionality to a possible extent, if you recieve proper guidance and counselling.
