A. Home and the nuclear family
Personality development first develop in home. This is the fundamental aspect as in home, they build their characteristics, traits, attitude and value as individual and on how are they act in front of other people . Having a nuclear family, a child could explore on the different kind of approaches and traits from other member of the family that for them applicable and relevant to their personality.

The influence of community and neighborhood to person’s personality development are socialization as they will interact with different kinds of individual and try to learn from them; cultural values where an individual will be now introduced to the culture and tradition of the society or community, and exposure to diversity.
2. According to the reports, half of the juvenile delinquents are
repeat offenders who go in and out of jail. What do you think is the most effective way to help these young individuals change for the better? Explain. The Philippine law states in the Republic act No. 9344 that children under 15 years of age cannot be held criminally liable, while children between 15 and 18 need to undergo intervention and rehabilitation after committing a crime. This law means that a child can’t be jailed as long as he/she is not in the legal age. In my humble opinion, to help these young individuals to change for their betterment since we can’t imprison them, the government must strengthen the rehabilitation facility’s programs that will help open their minds on the morality. Helping the young individuals change their attitudes and perspective about how hard life is I think the most effective way to help them live better in this world.

“Character cannot be developed in ease and quietness.Only
through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.” For me, this quote speaks to the importance of resilience, perseverance, and personal growth. Challenges and struggles are a natural part of life, and it is through these experiences that individuals can learn and grow the most. The quote suggests that success is not simply handed to us but rather earned through hard work, determination, and a willingness to face and overcome adversity.
