Introduction

As a person grows up, he or she is responsible and accountable for the respective actions that are carried out. It is widely believed that the actions are a direct resultant of one's cognitive condition and imbedded desires. Having mentioned that, it is subsequently equally imperative to articulate the fact that these cognitive specifications of a person are a sheer amalgamation of numerous factors, which include his experiences from young age, the circumstances in which he has grown up, his atmosphere, surroundings, upbringing, and various other factors.
