Why do we do the things that we do?

All of our actions can't come from only one factor in our lives. I think that there are many motives that push us into doing something. We can't say that all of our actions come from our genetics which we have no choice over because I believe that nurture and experiences play a bigger part in a person's life than nature. I think that how we are raised, what obstacles we encounter, or what we desire can drive us into doing something more than the genes in us. Our friends and parents also play a significant part behind what we do and how we act because usually, their approval means a lot in our lives. The environment, circumstances, and people around us have the power to influence us to carry out an action that sometimes even surprises ourselves.
