An Individual’s behavior is parallel to its ideology. Unless the human perspective is right and pleasant. Until then, being positive and realistic won’t be difficult but also impossible.

Behaviors are individual mindsets. Human actions will have both favorable and ramifications. The origins of civilizations’ prosperity and degradation have beliefs behind them, too. The variables of the prosperity and deterioration of societies are also intertwined in behaviors. Positive thoughts deliver positive change, while negative behaviors refurbish a broken society. Whether hearts are to be rectified or broken depends on behavior.

So if we look at the modern-day and examine the common people’s behaviors and thoughts, it is obvious that we are deteriorating not just socially but also financially.

After All, What is Behavior? How does it grow? How did it come about? Where and when can it be molded, and how can it be changed?

Behavior is a fundamental and experienced aspect in our personalities, inspiring us consciously to think, feel, and act. It is conveyed by an individual by his emotions, feelings, and character.

An individual knows and changes several behaves in his life over time. Yet certain behaviors remain almost constantly a part of his personality throughout his life. For example, an individual’s attitude towards sports in childhood and adolescence is usually positive. But it’s likely to change over time.

A person learns from his parents and society regarding his actions towards faith, and then he thinks of morality and evil. It acquired from infancy that allows a person to look, perceive, and behave in a certain way. You can argue it’s a part of personality that an individual reveals through his specified thinking, feelings, and actions.

Prejudice is a distinct type of behavior.

A prejudiced person has a negative attitude towards another philosophy, idea, entity, or band, and also negative are his emotions and feelings, and he has a very hostile stance toward certain thoughts, beliefs, and people.

Hence his father, mother, brothers, acquaintances, peers, and teachers play the first and foremost role in influencing behaviors.

The second most significant element in behavioral sculpting is the information passed on to the individual. For instance, if an individual is constantly informed that people in a certain faith or school are narrow-minded, misogynistic, and inferior, then it is more conceivable that the individual would believe it.
