Shaped by Time and Place

Time and space is the setting we are in, where we are. Different time and place can shape our character traits, both physical and mental, into the traits best adapted to our environment. For example, If we lived in the medieval time in Europe, depending on our social status or our job, our clothes will vary from knight armor to peasant rags, and our character will also be dramatically different. Also, if we are rich, we would be able to read and write and be educated whereas the poor never had chance to formally learn to read and write. In this world, almost all are able to read and write because most countries have educational laws that states a certain degree of education for every citizen, the only difference would be the rich people go to private schools, the mediocre people go to public school, and the poor people would be funded by the government to go to small schools. Where we are also shapes who we are. For example, because our ancestors are from China with sandstorms and bigger sun than Europe, we have small eyes to prevent sands from damaging our eyes, darker skins to protect us from getting skin disease or sun burn. THis is the reason why Asians have small eyes and darker skins. Where we are also shape what food we eat and what food we eat when we are young shape what type of food we like.
