In Search Of Explanation About Behavior. by philoedu(m): 11:45am On Oct 01, 2020
It seems clear that one of the goal of scientific psychology is to explicate behavior. For instance, when someone put up a behavior in an unexpected and strange manner, the first thing that come to mind, is why such behavior.

However, an answer that often come yo mind would often come in a multiple ways of which a bunch of rational thinkers disagree. From such disagreement, no doubt, emanated a set of what comes to be known as- "viewpoint" or point of view, through which behavior comes to be explicated not without a heavy dose of influence carried with it of how psychology now tends to approach the very
study of behavior

The same is true , that the point of view approach have various perspective in kinds among of which l will just mention a few like -the Biological point of view and Sociocultural point of view etc. As it were, we shall be looking at how these point of view relate to our behaviors

The Biological point of view, did assert that our behavior can be explicated in terms of such factor as Genes, in the endocrine system ,the brain and the nervous system. And it also assumed that we are all organism made up of protoplasm recognized as the most solid method to explain away our behavior.

The reason stern from such statement, as when someone would said that --"l feel lazy" which may appear a psychological condition of which later on, may be discovered to also have a sluggish thyroid gland with low metabolism. In reality, such laziness, from the biological point of view must have to be explained in terms of low thyroid production.
The same is true, that when a child is suffering from metal retardation, and receive a diagnosis of down syndrome, a sign and symptoms that may have suggested that such child has only three chromosome on what normally have been twenty first pair of chromosome, it is clear, that any behavior requires to be explain in terms of biological point of view, although not without some element of other related point of view.
Then we have the Sociocultural point of view which asserted that much of our behavior is determined by factors associated with society and culture. This is to say that when a country or a society has long history of depression of various kind, there will be the tendency in the rise of individual problem of the like of insecurity and other form of abuses in the society. And we all know that society and culture find their expression in the very fabric of family with its value system, religious and tradition and indeed in the general code of conduct.
In this context, there must be a value system to uphold in relation to law and order that bring about some level of sanity in any organized society, that appear necessary that bring about a gradual level of conformity, because conformity in social behavior do exist
This is self evidence, when individual strive to match his or her behavior to other behaviors of other members of his or her given group or family. However, this does not often remove that human - filo- conductor,, in human nature of the individual need of autonomy which is at odd, at any given time.
The same is true, that we know that, absence of some level of conformity in family or society suggest public or family chaos and from the point of view of societal value system, in relation to family, religious organization, schools and other similar groups, it is absolutely necessary in the display of pro social behavior that enhance and foster long term interest of family and society we belong, with the basic idea that there is safety in conformity in the preservation of our identity that goes a long way to tell of who we are at any given moment in the journey of life.
