Answer:True

Explanation:Wright Mills said there is a connection between who we become and where we came from.

For example how we grew up, the society that we were part of or that we are part of will shape who we become.

Schools that we went to and how we were taught in those schools will have an influence in who we grow up to be.

Let us say we have two people one goes to a school that exposes them to a lot of opportunities and the other one goes to a school that does the opposite, their biography will be differently shaped by the different historic situations that they both experienced.

Also how certain people live their lives in a particular society will have an influence on how people define that society.

A society that is full of house break ins will be most likely considered as a criminal based place.
