What gd said.
I do think our core beliefs originate in our youth and thus our parents' politics and morality would definitely come into play. But I think it's a mixture of exposure during that upbringing which includes education (including books, novels, films and all media exposure), circles of friends, peers at work, and personal experiences throughout life.
