Hunger Games: Does society make the person?

I'm sticking with this question because the rest where about love, murder and one was "Is oppression really that bad?" Of coarse it is! Did you read the damn book?

Anyways, is a person who they are because they where born like that or did the society they live in make them the person they are today? I say Society does in fact, change, if not make the person. If Katness had lived in a fore charitable society she would have never become an archer, or the protective person she was in the book. Peeta Wanted to show them that they didn't own him. That he was his own person but was he really?

Sneetches

The Sneeches is about a bunch of bird like humanoids who have and upper class and lower class based on whether or not they have a star on their stomachs. Or you know, racism. Then a business man comes and confuses them with star on star off machines so no one knows who is who. So everyone gets along after that, even the sneeches with stars on their buttocks. So it's an allegory for racism and what have you. And a man who pulls a Tom Sawyer on the racist feather brains.
