How does society affect the physical and mental development of a person?

Man is a social creature, therefore society has a direct impact on human development. For example, if I live in an area where there are many sports grounds and facilities, I see that people go in for sports there, and I also have an incentive to work with them, to improve my physical health. If there is no such example before your eyes, then there is no incentive to go in for sports. Likewise, mental development – if you communicate with intelligent, educated people, you yourself catch up to their level.
