Factors Directly Affecting the Behavior of Individuals in Society

Pages: 192-199
Abstract
A variety of internal and environmental elements work together to shape an individual's behaviour. These are not inescapable; rather, the person is presented with options for how to proceed, just as he has the ability to control his impulses and ignore certain environmental cues. Although it has the option to pick from a wide variety of reactions, an individual cannot completely shrug off the influence of these factors and give his outer manifestation a different content than that which is influenced by some of the aforementioned factors. Human behaviour is only partially fixed by genes since every kid is born with a unique set of "natural predispositions," but they may be shaped over time by exposure to different experiences and learning new skills. Furthermore, current genetic studies reveal that the person is not bound by their "hereditary inheritance," and that there are a variety of malleable genetic traits. Therefore, it is possible to simulate human behaviour using external variables. This clarifies the function of education in shaping individual character. Studies disproved the idea of genetically set traits. Although inheritance does have a role in shaping an individual's characteristics, it is at most a pattern or a "possibility" that may be altered by environmental factors. Personality traits, which are the product of the interplay between an individual's environment (which includes his or her upbringing) and "natural predispositions," also have a role in shaping an individual's behaviour, and the "situation" can only be seen as an opportunity in the expression of the individual's personality. It has the power to steer events, favour some over others, and even avoid some. Each person bases his or her fundamental strategy on the facts they see, which in turn shape how they respond to aggression and direct their actions
