It is undeniable that stereotype threat represents a limiting factor to people's performance in society. It does not matter what kind of community a person lives, because all they have distinct ways to stipulate boundaries that enhance differences between groups, undermining one in detriment of the other. In many situations, stereotype threat leads people to conform with is expected of them by a certain sociocultural general belief that is usual to label people according to their origins, race or sex, for example. Although many studies have been done in intention to underline the causes of IQ difference among people, the stereotype threats are still pervasive in modern societies promoting the increase of gender and race gaps, that ultimately compromise people's achievements.
Genetic and environment plays a decisive role in people abilities and capacities, showing that both are the primary influences on people's intelligence level, no matters the gender or race that they belong. However, it is essential to consider that visible differences between gender and race are still taking into account in academic and corporative sets, for example. Expectations about the performances of different groups of people only confirm some cultural practices under which people are raised. This kind of thought that relies on the fact that boys like blue and girls prefer pink works preventing new generations from growing up less concerned that their gender will not be a determinant aspect of their role in society, keeping they tied to limited beliefs and conventions.
However, considering all the work that social settings make to preserve some stigmas over gender and races, for example, is necessary to recognize that the environmental factor as poverty plays a significant impact creating real differences among people. The conditions under which people are born and grow up are determinant to people's mental and physical development. Credible pieces of evidence suggest there is a negative correlation between nutritional intake and neurocognitive development in childhood, showing that nutrition deficit will cause severe and irreversible problems on a child. Undevelopment countries show that not only the poverty of the families, but other social issues like the lack of schools, and necessary resources as public transports to attend classes, allows that many children continue to grow up without opportunities to achieve their potentials due to the impact that this limiting environment plays against them. Contrary to this though reality, children who receive the correct nutrition are capable of accomplishing their goals at school keeping the increasing of cognitive capacity throughout the years.
As a good environment is beneficial to any human being blooms in all his plenitude, the genetic factor is also a prerequisite to ensure differences between people. Studies with twins reveal the importance of genes influencing the IQ level of an individual demonstrating that members of the same can share same capacities according to the same or distinct right conditions. Although it is critical to highlight that all factors are intrinsically connected and that a different environment can change the outcomes if it is not healthy. In other words, people predetermined genetic conditions may not be an advantage if the environment that they are exposed to is not suitable to develop their resources achieving as many benefits as possible in each circumstance.
