HUMAN SOCIETY AFFECTS OUR BEHAVIOR- s a species, we are social beings who live out our lives in the company of other humans. We organize ourselves into various kinds of social groupings, such as nomadic bands, villages, cities, and countries, in which we work, trade, play, reproduce, and interact in many other ways. Unlike other species, we combine socialization with deliberate changes in social behavior and organization over time. Consequently, the patterns of human society differ from place to place and era to era and across cultures. We can conclude that human's behaviors, goals, perception, principles, values are all affected by our society and its norms and can differ from different cultures.
THE SECRET OF UNDERSTANDING HUMANS- WE MAY HAVE THE SAME ACTIVITIES AND GOALS YET WE HAVE IDENTICAL MOTIVATIONS THAT DRIVES US IN DOING THE THING WE DO. AN EXAMPLE GIVEN BY LARRY ROSEN ON HIS RECENT TALKS AT TED, HE EXEMPLIFIES A FRESHMEN HARVARD STUDENT AND A TEENAGE BOY IN AFGHANISTAN WHO JOINS THE TALIBAN- AN ISLAMIC WAR GROUP, YET THEY HAVE THE SAME INTERNAL REASONS AND THAT IS RESPECT, IF YOU ARE A HARVARD STUDENT PEOPLE WILL LOOK UP TO YOU IN MUCH RESPECT AND IF YOU JOIN THE TALIBAN IN AFGHANISTAN LOCAL KIDS WILL LOOK UP IN AWE. THEY MAY HAVE WAY DIFFERENT GOALS YET THEY HAVE THE SAME INTERNAL REASONS FOR THERE GOALS, THEY WANT TO BE RESPECTED AND FIT IT THE STANDARDS OF THEIR LOCAL SOCIETY. BECAUSE HUMAN BEHAVIOR MAYBE COMPLEX BUT THE MOTIVATION FOR US TO DO OUR GOALS ARE IDENTICAL TO EACH OTHER.
