Essay / Role of the environment in human behavior - 1129
The general objective of the study is to emphasize the role of the environment on human behavior and to show that human genetics and Environmental influences are linked in shaping human behavior. Over the years, humans have shown patterns of behavior based on their environment, past experiences, and childhood memories. But according to various studies, human behaviors are not only a reflection of their memories, their environment and the factors that can contribute to them, but they are also linked to our genome and our DNA. The genome is the connected series of our DNA; which are different from one human to another; so we all have different characteristics and attitudes. “During childhood, many people may be exposed to the same environmental conditions and share similar experiences; but after a few years, they might show a different behavior pattern based on the same shared experiences.” (Marcus, G. 2004). Upon further analysis of the research conducted in this area, it can be determined that the forces present in an individual's environment as well as their genetic characteristics contribute greatly to the behavior of any particular human being. Unlike in the past, today there is greater recognition of the important role of genetic and environmental influences on human behavior, which was previously unknown. An environment is described as the environment of physical space and the things in it; humans, social structures, animals, water, etc. “The environment may or may not work for someone; and can affect the way people live their lives.” (Greeman, 1998). For example, your environment will not always work in someone's favor; there are many ci...... middle of paper ...... generations must consider their environment as well as genetics when trying to explain a particular person's behavior. By changing the social structures of society in positive ways, such as building schools and incorporating programs that promote positive behavior, individuals could have the opportunity to engage in positive behavior. As more and more research is conducted in the genetic field, we are getting closer to discovering exactly what traits are passed down from generation to generation and whether it is possible to be able to choose which traits one wishes to pass on and which traits are preferred. not to touch it. Needless to say, humans interact and are influenced by their environment at all times and, thanks to their genetic structure, they are allowed to make daily decisions that can have positive or negative consequences...
