The behavior of man often comes to be viewed as spontaneous and responsible most of the time. But very often, it is recognized that his inner determination comes to be disconnected as if he is not to be held accountable for his behavior. We have not been able to reject the accumulating evidence that there are circumstances beyond his control most of the time.

Because of this singular fact, man tends to be exonerated as one is forced to point to the external circumstances beyond his control. The same is true, that the uneducated is no longer to be blamed for his ignorance neither the unemployed for his laziness. Therefore, ignorance of the law is no longer inexcusable, as it were. It will be recalled in the scripture- “Father forgive them, for they know not what they do”.

The insane have long since been clear of responsibility for his own condition. But the neurotic or psychotic behavior seems to be multiplying by the day. The common man is regarded as the product of his environment, but the right of personal credit is often regarded to be for the great men for their investment. And we want to believe that the right- minded individual is moved by valid principle even though we are willing to regard wrong-minded individual as victims of erroneous propaganda. The same is true that often, backward people may be faulted for poor tradition and culture.

We also observed in this perspective that ,often Moslem children in general becomes Moslem just as Christian children becomes Christian and we are never willing to accept an accident of birth as a base for any particular belief. Therefore, we dismiss those who disagree with us as victim of ignorance and regard the promotion of our religious belief as something more than the arrangement of a particular environment.

Of cause, all are but a transition, because we have not totally done away with the traditional philosophy of human nature as to come to term with the current dynamic of evolving reality but not without reservation. It might be accepted in part, the very assumption of determinism- according to the belief that people are not free to choose what they like or how they behave, simply because these things are decided by their background over which they have no control.

But it is only to allow superstitious, call it first allegiance and personal aspiration to rise in defense of the traditional view. However, humanity is currently engaged in what might be regarded as “patchwork” syndrome in which new facts and methods tend to be assembled in accordance with traditional theories. But the problem is not so much with theoretical issue but with practical issue as well, because often, one affects the other. History has informed us about the primitive belief about man and his place in nature which is often flattering. The same is true that science on its part tends to lack in its responsibility to paint man in more realistic picture.

[b][/b] It is self-evidence though, Copernican in his famous theory of the solar system, displaced man from his pre-eminent position at the center of things. Today everyone tends to accepts this theory without emotion, but initially it met with enormous resistance. It must be observed that science may tell us how to deal with human behavior, but may not be able to tell us what is to be done, which is essentially a non scientific issue.
