SOCIETY VS. EXPERIENCE

I personally think that both can shape a person. From personal experience I definitely have been influenced by both. Society shapes people when the come out with all these teen magazines making girls and boys feel as though they have to be a certain way. Experience shapes people by who they surround themselves with and what situations they get themselves into. Say if someone died that was close to you, that experience may influence who you become. Likewise for the society ,if you read a magazine that says that some actress is fat when she is Skinner than you,then that may make you self-conscious,which shapes who you are. so from my own experience and opinion both society and experience can shape an individual.
