Base Point is how a child at an early age develops his/her opinion of the world around them.
If the people around them treated him/her badly, their view shall reflect that as the person progresses along in life. The same is said if the child is treated with honor, respect and dignity.
How the child shall develop is all up to the people whom he/she is surrounded by and their attitudes.
What influences them is what material those people within the atmosphere introduce them too within the child's age of discovery.
