Society doesn't shape. Society bullies.
Society doesn't influence what people DO, it influences how they feel about what they do.
People, even in oppressive societies, independantly decide what they can or will become. Christians in Arab nations. Gays in the military. Militant terrorists within the peace of Islam. Women who demanded a full share of personhood in the 20th century, and will not give up on that goal today. Dr. King who dared to dream out loud.

Completely depends on the person... and how susceptible they are to influence... society plays no part however, in a persons potential... that's like saying society can influence a persons intelligence...

Well lets look at today's society. people that are in the closet are mainly in the closet for other people in society to avoid criticism and punishment and rejection.

In more ways that can be listed here. Contrast life in a Islamic country versus life in a western country, this will give you a good starting point.

That sounds like an answer to be fully explained in a book, or many. To try to answer such a complex question here would be a fools task.
