Is our personality determined by our surroundings?

I fully agree with you here. In a bigger picture, it's kind of how we're developing as a species as well. We adapted to what Earth has, formed groups, and now we are beginning to question if the way we are living is really correct. Earth started us off, but only now might we have the chance to become self aware after we've lived here for a while and consciously take care of things
