It has an enormous factor on the development of an individual‚ most especially‚ human behavior. With those interactions‚ experiences are gathered for learnings to emerge. I agree with B.f. Skinner’s perception about the big impact of nature to man’s whole-being. The totality of a man is an upshot of everything that surrounds us. We become what we plan us to be from all the experiences
