What shapes a person's attitude?

Strength of character, honesty, uprightness. And also one should inculcate three "A"s. ACCEPT - what others are (situations are) Accommodate: Accommodate all idiosyncracies of others. Appreciate: Whatever they do, appreciate it sincerely ABOVE ALL BE Human

A good post for reasoning. I strongly feel that people play a vital role in shaping one another's attitudes. There is a saying " iron sharpens iron". We are like living bricks and rubs against one another until fully smoothen and finally fits together to become a perfect building. Sometimes, it is painful to shape another person's character but it is necessary. It is not being busybody if your intentions are noble. Therefore, people factor is an importact ingredient in shaping each other's attitudes.

I think how you choose to react to circumstances is the greatest shaper of one's attitude.

we get only what we exercise in our day-to day life and activities. Experiences make us and what we pour in makes our attitudes.

attitude is a learnt behaviour which comes with ur surroundings.esp. from ur parents,ur status in the society,education,personality,beauty,and ur financial capacity.

person's attitude depends a lot on his/her confidence , success that one has achieved in his life, and many more things that determine his attitude money is also a big role player in shaping the attitude u might have seen arrogant rich people and generous rich people too the ones who r generous show that money has not affected their mind whereas the ones with arrogance show that money has changed their thinking

how one has grown up

The respect they were given growing up...and how they were taught honesty, empathy etc..

i say the person's character plus the community he/she grew up. greetings. : )

A persons attitude is kindled by many factors, some bad some good. It is how we apply it to our life that shapes us. God gave all of us a brain. Not the same intelectualy but for decision making. The good and bad of past puts choices in front of us. We can choose right or wrong. Life is waht we make it

Ultimately we are each responsible for our own attitude. Two children with the same parents can have very different attitudes. I believe a child is born with a leaning toward the attitude they will have throughout life, but that doesn't mean that if a person wants to change their attitude they can't. A parent can try to guide the child to a better attitude, but you can't force someone to have the right attitude.

Going to the basics , The base character of a person is moulded at the time he grows up and what he absorbs from his parents and friends. The base character of a person, will not change easily ... So, basically, the WAY in which a child was brought up shapes his attitude and character !
