How did buddhism affect existing laws or culture

If that is about South Asia there were major affects on almost every field of life by Buddhism. For example Hinduism was the prevalent religion in the area before the Buddhism which had a strong social system based on various classes; Buddhism denied all of that bringing in more people from low casts (who were considered low cast by previous cultures). This also brought about a whole transformation in the society.
Buddhism also preached "Ahinsa", meaning non-violence (though there have been clashes but the primary teaching was of non-violence) which affected some parts of Western society as well. Buddhist architect and art is a whole new chapter in the history of South Asia also.

biological/genetic factors means they were born or predisposed to have something. nothing can really change it, and you can't really do much to "fix" it. it isn't something learned

these are the biological factors:

adrian is relatively tall and he is on the basketball team

(adrian can't ever stop being tall or force himself to be tall. likely one or both of his parents are tall as well and they passed on the tall gene. he probably does basketball because he is tall)

the rest are environmental/cultural factors. these are things that are taught to us. for example, cynthia wasn't born saving pocket money, her family most likely taught her this (environmental factor)

hope this !
