Running Head: EFFECTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS ON BEHAVIOR Effects of Environmental Aspects On Behavior Name: Institutional Affiliation: Date: 1 EFFECTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS ON BEHAVIOR 2 Does the environment shape the behavior of an individual? Over the years, human beings have been found to be distributed across the world where the different habitats have characterized the abode of the humans. There are some people who have been found to be black, others are white and also red. What could be the possible cause of this color pigmentation? Why is it not that each and every individual adopts the same color pigmentation as the others? A lot of people have argued that the differentiation that has been observed in the different colors that different individuals have can be linked to the environments where they have been found to be living in. different people have been observed to have different behaviors depending on the areas that they come from. It has been observed that the people from areas where the terrain is relatively flat have developed different pieces of art which they engage in on their leisure and/or on almost all the time. Does the environment help in the shaping of each and every individual`s behavior (Stern, 2000)? The possible explanation can be found by conducting a thorough research utilizing the already existing data on human-environmental interactions which could in the long run help in the solving of the underlying concepts that have brought about the controversy to many concerning the role of the environment on the human behavior. This paper is going to explore the different underlying factors that revolve around the human-environmental interactions where different behavioral factors and activities have been observed in the different individuals across the different geographical areas. The most important ideas as well as principles will be unveiled and discussed where the relevant pieces of evidence and literature will be highlighted also. this will ensure that the best conclusions have been drawn out of the given research considering and basing the overall arguments on the given and set questions in this section which are the core of this paper. EFFECTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS ON BEHAVIOR 3 In the previous studies, it has been established that the overall human behavior has been shaped by the environment in a huge way. This has been cited from the different pieces of work which have been completed by the different scholars as well as researchers. Following the overall human-environmental interactions, it can be seen that the different environmental factors as well as the various aspects of the environment have had a considerable amount of impact on shaping each and every individual’s behavior. The most driving factors have been found to be the overall coevolution as well as the overall coadaptation of the humans and the environment with which they are living in and interacting with. People have their different actions that they perform on their daily basis which change the environment in which they are in in one way or the other. Consequently, the environment has its own changes that occur which change and or influence the human behavior as far as the human behavior is concerned considering the different adaptation actions that the humans must undertake to survive. The kind of data that I would like to have in order to draw rational conclusions concerning the underlying ideas include the overall evidence that has been conducted concerning the different recorded cases that actually show that the environment helps in shaping the human activities hence the overall human behavior. The data that shows the overall interaction between the overall ecosystem and the human activities would also be helpful in ensuring that the most desired results are attained. I wanted to have the data on the overall effects of the environment on the human activities and behavior but instead, I found the relationship between the environment and the human interactions. This however not the data required serves a good purpose in drawing the relevant conclusions. The effects and the overall human interactions and the environment with which they are living in are the data that I explored following the different pieces of research as well as the EFFECTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS ON BEHAVIOR 4 different pieces of literature which have been found to be most relevant to this research. This data is freely available on the different environmental websites as well as the relevant historical books that have been gathered and put together in the different libraries across the globe. The access to such data has been made possible by the introduction of the internet which has made it possible and easy to build the different academic pools over the internet. The data is in form of qualitative data which is mostly textual data. The different points of measure that have been measured include the extent to which the data can be classified as true and applicable and also the various sources of the data which helps in the ensuring that the given data is free of bias and errors. There are different assumptions that have been made in this research include the generalization of all the human beings citing and considering all the human beings as the same. This has not taken into consideration the different age groups that the different human beings are classified by nature and also the different locations where the different individuals have come from. Different people have exhibited different forms of behavior that have been shaped and highly influenced by the different environmental factors and also the different historical and geographical influences that the environment presents to the different individuals depending on the geographical location on and from which the different individuals are based and live. However, the generalization taking all the human beings as the same has in one way enabled the different research teams to make deductive and also inductive conclusions that have been found to be affecting the entire human race regardless of their different backgrounds and also their different backgrounds where they all come from. This is on way of ensuring that the results that have been obtained are valid and also represent the real world environmental factors that affect the humans as well as the environments where they live and interact with. EFFECTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS ON BEHAVIOR 5 There are the different lessons that I have learned considering the various plots that have been made and arrived at. One is that conducting this kind of research has been neglected in the past where the different researchers have not put in place the necessary measures that are required in establishing the underlying factors that revolve around the different principles of understanding the different factors that revolve around the overall interrelation between the environmental factors and the overall human activities. The given interrelation and coadaptation has and can be seen from the different human factors that have made towards the environment and the overall effects that the environment through the different environmental aspect and factors have made to the different individuals. Through the research which has been conducted being based on the various aspects that revolve around the posed questions have been answered fully where the different aspects that had been highlighted by the different questions have been arrived at. It has been concluded that the environment has a huge role to play considering the overall effects that the environment has on the humans (Hunter, 2005). It can be concluded that the environment plays a role in the shaping and facilitating for the different behavior that is seen on the different people around. Some people have been found to exhibit the different respective behavior as a result of the different forces as well as the different actions that the environment gives which in turn help and force an individual to adapt towards the presented change which has and ensures that the different human beings have adopted the new change and incorporated it into their overall behavior on their daily life activities that they undertake on the daily basis. It is recommended to facilitate more study and research which will ensure that the different aspect of the environment that play a major role in shaping and enforcing the different EFFECTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS ON BEHAVIOR 6 adaptations between the environment or nature and the humans have been highlighted which will enable the research teams to develop trends of nature and human activities. This will in turn help the future researchers to predict the future of nature and that of the human beings. There is so much more that has not yet been uncovered considering the overall effects and the overall interrelation between the environment and the human beings a far as shaping the behavior is concerned. If one had a lot of time, the different underlying factors that revolve around the basic coadaptation of the human and the environment in determining the kind of behavior can be arrived at.
