Born ?.....or made?

I wonder if this sounds like the age-old sociology question of nature vs nurture. From my newbie perspective, all of us can express dominant or submissive behaviour. Therefore I believe both are innate, but one has to choose to do so, in line with what they are comfortable with. Many of us have been behaving with dominant expressions for so long that we tend to think that we are only that way.

When I look at the field of epigenetics, the central theme is it is our perception of and interaction with the environment that informs the genes that are expressed and passed down. I'm going to put on a limb and say that most behaviour expressions are learned through conditioning to the environment as well.

With all that being said, I think one can be made dominant as well as born dominant.

I agree 95%. For that remaining 5% I would like to research and discuss and I may have a theory that doesn't agree with yours just in that 5%. Still, a good point!
