Despite the many differences among individuals, there are certain basic commonalities in our lives, of which the most obvious is that we are living beings: we are born, we grow, and eventually we die. This much, we all share and we all know it. This study examines theoretical construct of gender roles in the context of social and behavioral norms. This paper also discusses the development of one's personality. Based on a combination of the opinions of experts and observations, the paper contends that all human personality development is variable and different. The paper also claims that personality development springs from complicated interactions of 'nature' and 'nurture' plus outside environmental characteristics, such as social and cultural expectations, peer group interactions and the influences of teachers and other relatives.
