Culture

EnvironmentThe environment and culture people are surrounded heavily influence their intelligence.

Some cultures favor stimulating emotional or interpersonal relationships.

Different cultures vary in their appreciation for nature, sports, arts, the human body, and nature.

Culture also influences the way children are taught and what they are taught from an early age

Conclusions

A person’s intelligence extends far beyond what they can read, write or add. It shapes a person’s ability to do most anything, including self reflection and dealing with other people.

People have multiple types of intelligence, some that are naturally strong and others that need to be reinforced, all of which can be stimulated to help a person be successful.

The environment and culture a person grows up un and is exposed to on a day to day basis has a lot of weight on the type of intelligence that person will be most stimulated for.

Intelligence is something that can be strengthened, and everyone has some sort of intelligence they can flourish in.
