Title

Prodromos View, EUROPA Issue Landscapes, Republic of Cyprus

Description

It is a known fact that heredity and the environment affect the development of one's personality. Many are those who accept the possibility that the same applies to people as a whole. The huge forests where dense trees stand upright side by side are considered to have had an effect on Central Europe leading it to adopt a disciplined behaviour. The sea which surrounds Great Britain influences intensely the behaviour of the inhabitants. Furthermore the environment for the people is the form of government within which they have grown and flourished for years, their personal achievements in the intellectual field and generally all that encompasses life such as their history. The environment within which a Cypriot grew is in short the great plains of Messaoria sown with corn and barley, the two large mountain ranges the Pendataktylos and Troodos and the sea that encircles the island. To these one could add the unrivalled azure blue sky, a brilliant sun and the shortage of water. From history he has retained the Greek education and religion, the contact with many foreigners through the occupation of the island by many external powers, and through commerce.All these can be said to have made the people very intelligent, industrious, patient, persevering, daring, very hospitable, competitive and capable of adapting to difficult conditions. However there are times when one can see in a person another side of him, where he has lost these virtues, he is reserved towards foreigners, is racist, selfish and antagonistic; but this sort of isolated behaviour can apply to any person under certain moments in his personal life.
