Does the environment influence cognitive functions more than genetics?

answer
The environment that we are raised in can definitely influence our cognitive functions more than our genetics. For example, my grandmother was a wise woman who took care of me and my siblings when we were younger. She taught us many things and gave us many good habits, such as always be honest. As a result, I have the habit of being honest and I believe that it is the best policy. Being honest is a cognitive function that I believe was influenced by the environment I was raised in and not because of my genetics.

Another example is how our parents teach us to be respectful. It is another cognitive function that I think was influenced by the environment instead of genetics. Whenever we were younger, if we did anything disrespectful to any adults, we would get punished by my mother and father. They made sure to make an impact on us so we would never do anything like this again. As we grew older, my siblings and I became more respectful towards our elders because of the environment we were raised in.
