Has anyone looked at individual environments as responsible for differences in achievement by gender, race etc?

I am hoping by looking for how our individual environments greatly affect thinking, learning, motivation to learn, and also our mental/emotional health, we can all slowly begin to learn how to approach our individual environments more delicately and differently to continually improve our thinking, learning, motivation to learn, and also maintain better mental/emotional health. I feel our current genetic models or the code phrase, everyone has different strengths, has wrongly created feelings permanence and hopeless for many persons. I hope by everyone looking more intently into how our individual environments do greatly our abilities, we can have more hope for improvement.
By showing students how their individual environments greatly affect their ability to think, learn, long-term motivation to learn, and grow mentally and emotionally, students will have much more respect and esteem for themselves and for others. By providing students with tools to approach their lives more delicately and differently to continually change and improve their lives, students will then have a continuous hope of developing in time, many if not all of the qualities they admire in others over time. Students will then have a continuous hope of changing and becoming better, newer persons with each passing day. This will reduce much hopelessness, many harmful escapes and other problems created by our horrible teachings of fixed intelligences in school such as dropouts, drug/alcohol abuse, catharsis of violence, and suicide. Bty showing how individual environments and differential treatment over time are creating advantages and/or “disadvantages by different race and gender, then we can all have more respect for each other given their experiences and difficulties that may have impeded a meaure of thinking, learning, motivation to learn, etc that could add up to years of deficit and even learned helplessness for individuals and groups by race and/or gender, -one- the Male Crisis. Learning Theory has some tools – by e-mail. I just hope others will look at not just my tools but through their own eyes help develop more tools and hope for students and adults.
I am thinking even emotional intelligence is regarded as a medical or genetic trait, not one created by individual environments. I am looking for how even very small elements of attention, love, kindness, mental/emotional/social knowledge, support and skills provided — or not provided can create over time much difference in mental/emotional/social/academic growoth over time. While we cannot do anything about past experiences – that can at least explain differences in abilties as environmental, we can also look at how we can all learn to approach our individual environments more delicately and differently to continually improve mental/emotional/social/academic knowldege and skills, also mental/emtional health.
