RE: Cumulative characteristics that breed good or bad traits in people.

First off, waybill this gown for me. 😅
That being said, I totally agree with your submission here;

the family, physical environment and cultural background, play a major role in shaping a person to be either good or bad. Even the society is not left out.

A lot has gone wrong in our society today. I remember the many times I was cautioned, and even flogged by some aunties in my neighborhood because I behaved badly. I never said "pim" to my parents, because doing so would mean double punishment. But you no longer see such today. Some phrases "mind your business, you don't tell me how to raise my child, etc" have taken over.

The community and society which would have helped in raising a good and responsible child are now minding their business, while the family is left only to take care of the business, which some of them fail to do.

However, the decision to either be a good or bad individual rests solely on that individual, irrespective of family upbringing, societal influence, or things learned. Kids can be raised in a good home and environment, still they turn out bad, and vice versa. It was their choice to turn out that way.
