Influences
Read the following passages and answer the questions given at the end of each:
One of the most difficult things in life is to find a way of behaviour that is not dictated by circumstances. Circumstances and people dictate or force you to behave in a certain way. The way you conduct yourself, the way you eat, the way you talk, your moral, “your ethical behaviour depends on where you find yourself” and your behaviour is constantly varying, constantly changing. This is so when you speak to your father, your mother or to your servant—your voice, your words, are quite different. The ways of behaviour are controlled by environmental influences, and by analysing behaviour you can almost predict what people will do and will not do.
