can categorize imprinting as a good or bad idea; however, it is crucial to understand that
imprinting affects almost all areas of our lives. For example, the way we think, talk, and
interact with others. Therefore, understanding the power of imprinting helps us lead
healthy and successful lives.

personal life scenarios include language. We learn to talk by mimicking our
parents/guardians. This spells the reason why we are mostly fluent in the language we
learned in our formative years, and even though we might learn many languages as we
grow up, they cannot beat our initial language in terms of eloquence and fluency. Another
example of imprinting is behavior. We associate with the behavior we come in contact
with at birth. This is why we have people who go to places of worship and others who do
