(called single-nucleotide polymorphisms) may help predict a person’s tendency to make certain choices,” said Dr. Rick Nauert. Moreover, Michael J. Frank, assistant professor of cognitive and linguistic science, psychology, and psychiatry and human behavior, assumed that particular aspects of behavior can be surprisingly influenced by a single gene. He examined the three types of genes that are responsible of controlling the aspects of dopamine functioning in the brain. According to the experiment, the difference between both the genes — DARPP-32 and DRD2 — individually expected the degree in which people react to the results that were better or worse than what they have expected, by the reinforcement approach and evasion of type behaviors. The dopamine processes is affected by the genes in the basal ganglia of the brain. Frank believed that this is essential for “simple reinforcement of learning processes that you might not even be aware of.” This indicates that genes play a vital role in our behaviors. Having one type of a gene might change the way we react and might cause an unconscious reaction towards a situation. For example, if a person likes to have his work done in a perfect way, he might get mad at anyone who tries to finish the work quickly instead of encouraging him to work perfectly as a profession. Therefore, the type of genes we have can change the way we respond to others in different situations. Secondly, another reason that makes people respond to others in an aggressive way is the environment and the society around each person.
They play a vital role in the puzzle of life because our brains responds strongly to the environment surrounding us. Moreover, according to Kelly Traver , an internal medicine doctor, environment can turn genes on and off based on what is around us. For example, if someone changes the city he or she was born in, he might gain some of the city’s habits. He or she might gain the bad habits and start unconsciously practicing those habits with family and friends, but this action might be unkind towards them. In this way, environment changed the person by changing his way of acting. Furthermore, an environment can produce a kind of fear towards something, which is called a phobia. Phobias can make people act in an aggressive way unconsciously because they cannot control their fear towards the thing. People usually in this case shout and hit, and extreme measures are taken to avoid the feared object or situation. Therefore, the environment can change the person’s personality and turn the genes on and off no matter what he or she was raised
on. According to Oxford dictionary, unkindness is inconsiderate and harsh behavior. Imagine an orphan who is really young in New York City with no food or money. If no one gives him the attention and direct him to a foster care, he will probably starts stealing and act unkindly to others. Moreover, his unkindness will turn into other bad and crucial things in the future if no one showed him what to do. Therefore, if unkindness was not stopped by anyone, it could grow into greater things that a person might not have the ability to stop it. People are born with kindness in their hearts, and they usually love to act kindly to other people around them. However, sometimes the genes and environment play an important role in changing someone’s personality and make them act unkindly towards others. Therefore, as Maxlucado said “I will be kind to the poor for they are alone, Kind to the rich because they are afraid, and kind to the unkind, for such is how God has treated me,” and as Khalil Gibran said, “ You cannot laugh and be unkind at the same time.”
