We are all aware of the differences in behavior between people with different social statuses. Doesn't everyone know those movies with twins that are separated at birth? We bet yes. This is what we show you: how is the human phenotype influenced in relation to the living environment?

Numerous epidemiological studies have found that an improved living environment has been associated with good health and a disadvantaged living environment with poorer health. Social skills, physical condition, or even some preferences can be influenced by the environment in which we live. Lack of human interaction can lead to anxiety, depression, and many other conditions caused by an unfavorable environment, such as orphanages. The government should provide the necessary conditions for the healthy growth of children, the lack of food training the animal instinct, making children prone to violence and not highlighting the needs of others.

Patterns of brain glucose metabolism appear to be influenced by a variety of factors, including genetic and environmental factors. However, the extent and proportion of these influences remain unknown.

Being in a loving family, a child may feel more self-confident, and more likely to be successful in life. Lack of love results in problems of trust, behavior, or integration into society. Psychologists have spent decades researching the effect of peer control and how it influences people's opinions and actions. Social influence, in particular, refers to how people alter their ideas and behavior to satisfy the needs of a social community, assumed authority, social role, or a faction within a group wielding leverage on the majority.

Let's refer to the example with the twins: in orphanages, this love is not given to them, thus, the twin in this facility, compared to the other brother who lives in a loving family, has the emotional intelligence and self-confidence much lower. Movies have shown that some older children use to spit in the younger ones’ food in order to eat their portion as well, starving them, showing not only the rage and malice encouraged by orphanages but also the fear in the victims’ souls.

There are lots of examples backing up the hypothesis that our living environment influences our being. Another one worth mentioning is the poor health of homeless people. Living on the streets damages one’s immunity and can cause many illnesses. On top of that, they cannot afford food, which is essential for living.

Defavourized children and adults are being judged for their social status, but they are actually the ones who are struggling the most. We should stop looking down on them and instead of judging, we should be helping them! Unquestionably, the environment and social circle in which we were raised influenced our lives and shaped us into the people we are today.
