I know we are greatly influenced by the environment we are born into and sometimes become gamblers because of where we find ourselves, i also considered the possibility of gambling being hereditary and found out that it is also possible, that is
gambling can be hereditary ,
Gambling is linked to a gene that is passed on through generations and a new study claims that it is passed on to both sons and daughters alike.
now come to think of it since it is difficult to escape our genetic makeup,
- Would you blame an individual who becomes addicted to gambling because it is wired to his DNA?
-Can their gambling problem be put in check by regular methods?
-Will the addiction be worse than someone who picked up the habit?
This is a difficult question, and the answer is likely to be different in each unique case. It is clear that all people have a hereditary predisposition to something and a social one (if their environment where they grow up is involved in something they will be involved in it). But still, if a person reaches some minimal level of intellectual development and if it is not too late, then he can get rid of bad habits/predispositions and manage his life himself.
