Everyone is born with a certain temperament. Your temperament is your emotional nature. A person who is easily excited has an excitable temperament. A person who acts calmly most of the time has a calm temperament. Just because you are born with a certain temperament does not mean you will always be that way. Your personality and temperament are also shaped by your environment. If a person grows up in a violent household, there is a greater chance that person may become violent later in life. This is sometimes the case with children who are abused by their parents. When abused children grow up, they sometimes abuse their own children. They have learned violent behaviors that became part of their personality.
