- We rationalize inherited beliefs after fact
- Family patterns repeat across generations
- Core values form before critical thinking
Disagree
- People deliberately reject their upbringing
- Life experience reshapes fundamental beliefs
- Philosophy and reading transform values
- Conscious reflection creates genuine change
