Environment As A determining Factor Of Human Behavior
Environment as been described as the total surrounding in which human live. All the factors acting on human makeup the environment both physically factors and climatic factors. Environment play a major role in determine various human behavior despite the fact that some behavior still follow the principles of hereditary. That is there are some behavior that can be transfer from the parents to the offspring.
The kind of environment which the child grows up will definitely elicit some kind of behavior in the child. It is either the child grows up to be a peace maker and easy going child or cruel and fierce.

According to the naturalists, everything that happens to the child show be explained in terms of natural causes and laws because they believe that the child is naturally good and of no sin until he mixes and interact with the environment which naturally affect him and make him/her becomes whatever he/she becomes at the end.
In accordance with John Locke view about the child, he was of the notion that the child is born with a blank mind and environment will start acting on the empty mind and the kind of environment where the child was born into will definitely be the picture the child mind will adopt.
Take for instance, a child who was born and bred in an urban centre will be exhibiting some behavior which people around can easily say this child was born and raised in the city and on the other side, a child born in rural environmental will always show that rural behavior such as dressing shabbily, going to farm and many more.

Environment determines how we live our life's. An experiment was carried out on a set of twins after birth, one was taking to a rich home in the city while the other one was taking to poor home in the rural environment to be raise by different parent respectively. After some many years of training them by different parents in different environment, the twins were brought together and the their behavior was quite different from each other despite inherit the same gene from their parents. The one raised in the city went to good school with the goal of becoming a medical doctor while the other one had little education with lots of farming experience.
Environment is a major determinant of certain behaviour in human, that is, the environment where we grow up influence some of our behaviors.

It only contributes as behaviour is an inborn attitude, we only need to work on it in a positive way, thanks.
I understand we need to work on it in a positive way but environment determines alot. Someone in the urban environment will highly be educated than someone in rural environment and this will inturn affect their behavior respectively.
