"People’s attitudes are determined more by their immediate situation or surroundings than by any internal characteristic."

人们的态度更多的是由临时的情况或者环境所决定，而非人们自身的特点。

Social environment does plays a more important role in forming a person’s attitudes.

1. Admittedly, people’s inborn temperament does play an important role in their attitudes.

2. However, more often than not, people’s attitudes are largely influenced by their immediate situation or surroundings.

3. It should also be noted that external factors not only influence people’s attitudes, but also shape their characters.
