What is behavior?
January 21, 2010 6 Comments
Human behavior according to Wikipedia dictionary is “Social norms is the influence of social pressure that is perceived by the individual to perform or not perform a certain behavior. Merriam-Webster’s Medical Dictionary define behavior as “the response of an individual, group, or species to its environment.” I looked up my old Longman Dictionary, which I used in High School, and find a simple definition for behavior and it is “the things a person or animal does.” Behavior can be obvious to the observer or hidden. Type of motive that generates the behavior and the chance to meet the desired goal mold the individual’s behavior. Behavioral scientists see behavior as actions that can be accurately identified and observed by different observers.
Some strange behaviors we sometimes notice that does not make sense to us, but to the others, the behavior is perfectly normal. I love soccer (football) and I use to play it when I was young. But now I see soccer as an entertainment business. Highly paid professionals play live to a large audience in the field and live on TV. The strange behavior I notice is the emotional attachment some of the sport fans show for their teams. They are so loyal to the point where fights and riots can take place when their team lose the match. The sport fan go crazy after the game while the players shake each other’s hand, take cold shower and go home safe! And make good money out of it.
Behaviour is also the way a person presents himself to others. It may also lead to the first and last impression, which is very important in a human’s life. Alot of thing depends on it.
If the behaviour is good, the impression is good. But if your behaviour is bad, it may lead to a negative approach, which is always against the person. This is the point where the behaviour of other person’s initiates and judges the human behaviour =)
(Thats what i think about Human Behaviour, many people may not agree, critics are always welcome)
Thank you for sharing your thought with us. Your comment explain a different way of looking at behavior.
You are welcome sir =)
I think behaviour reflects our inner soul regardless what you try to show or hide….we can control the way and the time when we behave, but can’t control what we really feel from inside unless if the person is a very good actor. What people might take as a first impression is always there problem not us….as we are not responsible for their own thoughts…
But if you really want to give a good impression, your behaviour has to be impressive. The problem lies within the human himself, not in the eyes of the person who judges you. Make your innerself or behaviour impressive, you’ll succeed.
So here where we meet….focus on your soul and you’ll be happy…
