Well I guess I would have to say that my parents have shaped my views of the world. This is probably the most obvious answer and maybe not the most exciting one, but living with them for my whole life has had a big impact on the state of my view of the world.

I'm glad that my parents raised me the way they did and taught me the things they did, but sometimes it is more satisfying to think for yourself for the first time on an issue and not have anybody elses opinion, especially your parents. I don't have a specific person that made me really think about how the world works, but I think anybody that I have come in contact with that believes something different than me or thinks something different than me, has caused me to think harder about what I believe or think.
