Human behavior

Is human behavior determinism or free will? Many would argue that every action that we do is done by our free will and others would say that human behaviors are completely determined by prior events. In my opinion, I believe that that events that we experience have already been determined by factors such as science and experiences that we’ve been through in the past. There are a few reasons why I believe that human behavior cannot be a result of free will. Firstly, some choices just can’t be…

According to Desmond Morris, human behavior is caused by three things: Tribal, Family, and Personal Space. He claims that most human will fight, defend, and create their own personal territory. History has shown that human behavior like wars, killings, fights, the marking of territory has been associated with territorial behaviors. Most people feel the necessity defend what is theirs.

The choices that educated people make in everyday life sometimes leave neuroeconomists questioning their decision-making processes.

The idea of society is structured around how individuals interact as a whole. When looking at these human interactions, a sociologist develops theories. A theory is defined as sets of ideas, which best explain the known facts about a topic in a way which makes sense. (Claerbaut, 2015, para. 3) Theories are testable, and when dealing with human behavior, can show how humans conduct themselves differently in groups than they do individually. Examining theories one step further leads to a…

accomplish those tasks, the skeletal system must have the capability to both withstand and successfully respond to internal and external pressure (Pearson and Lieberman 2004; Swartz 1989). Specifically, stature and weight, in relation to positional behavior, are understood to be the fundamental sources of stress (Hamrick 1996; Swartz 1989). In turn, those causes of strain arguably have a strong influence upon the primary ability of the skeleton to provide structural support (Swartz 1989:442).…

It is common to consider animals that life in nature to be ‘wildlife,’ yet using this…
