Everyone's Surroundings

The environment does not determine their actions. It does not determine their actions because in most places a character or person can do whatever they would desire to do. For example, in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Huck does whatever he wants to do. He does this by wanting to treat the slaves like a human, rather than treated them with no respect and bossing them around. Also in The Great Gatsby, Gatsby lives where people like to party and have fun, but all he does is have parties just to see if Daisy would come. At the parties, everyone is social and drinking, but Gatsby is always hiding and does not drink at his parties. In addition, there is always an exception where the environment does affect a person or character. For example in Ethan Frome, Ethan cannot do anything because of where he lives. The only thing he can do is work because he is not able to go anywhere without spending a lot of money. He is not able to go anywhere because the only main spot of transportation is the train, and that costs money he does not

In conclusion, the environment that children live will shape the person who they will become and whatever is learned from a young age will stick with them for rest of their

Environment is the surrounding or conditions in which a person operates in, so the question is does it effect or make you who are. The environment does and can effect you and shape you but it does not make who you are. In the Other Wes Moore, Tony states "Wes is out here hustling, I told him to

We are all a product of our environment. What we hear and see while we are growing up, becomes the norm. This was the case for me. Since being removed from that environment, I have realized that this is a big world that we live in and I have to share it with a lot of people, no matter what our differences are.

Think of our dependency on our environment and constant surroundings. They help create our persona and thus who we become in the future. From the point of birth, people live in a set environment

Hunger can cause the human body to make conclusions that they would not have on a full stomach. In Night by Elie Wiesel, he proves the point numerous times. Elie among others loses sight of his ethics due to human nature, needing food. During the Holocaust, the prisoners in concentration camps would risk their lives for an extra crust of bread or ration of soup. The captives of the Holocaust had to acclimate to their surroundings and do anything they could for food. The need for energy can cause a human to make ignorant decisions, thus allowing for a loss of their personal values.

Environment; the environment in which a child is surrounded by may affect their development. A child

Individuals behave differently depending on his or her beliefs and the choices come from the beliefs one holds. This can have a positive or negative effect on one’s environment within his or her control and the environment that affects the human population on Earth. Some environmental conditions that humans do have control over are pollution and crowding, although the rising temperatures and noise pollution may be out of individual reach. By changing some conditions and adding items that have a positive mental influence on individuals can make some over-populated urban environments more pleasant and less stressful to the community and

Without any credit, the environment leads people to make choices that shape their lives and thoughts. Even though people might have similar backgrounds it doesn 't mean that they share the same opinions. Everyone carries a different opinion of a stranger in his/her mind depending upon there past encounters with strangers. This is evident in the works of Toni Morrison and James Baldwin.

During Christmas vacation, three weeks before my 4th birthday, I began eating more; more than I had and more than I should. I was always hungry, extremely hungry. Hungry, thirsty and tired, painfully dragging myself to and from day to day activities. I gorged myself with food, yet my pants became looser, arms thinner and stomach flatter. The world swirled around me; I couldn’t stand without stumbling. On December 23, 2001, I entered the hospital kicking and screaming, tired and alone. Since that day, I haven’t seen food the same way.

It has often been said that the environment we are in can have a positive or negative affect on our lives. In the novels Girlchild by Tupelo Hassman, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie, and Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz, the protagonist of each book are from a distinct ethnic and cultural backgrounds. While one might think that it is that background that would shape the events that took place in these stories, it is often something different all together. In addition to their ethnic backgrounds, they all grew up in certain environments that were actually the driving forces of their lives. For Rory in Girlchild, she was in an environment that

When you learn from you surroundings, you think of why you do the things you do. If you grow up in a neighborhood where people surround you with their friendship and love, then you will most likely be a caring person. But if you grow up where you are often ignored and try to be important, then you will most likely be passive and struggle for attention to a point where you don’t even realize you’re struggling for attention.

Throughout one’s life time we encounter many different people whether it is through personal or work related environments. It is important to understand why someone who grew up in a hippie environment may be a little more reserved than an individual who grew up in a strict Amish community, or why an individual who grew up in an environment where they or individuals around them were molested grow up to also be molesters. Environmental Psychology can be applied to so many different factors of day to day living weather it is the way we design our homes or small personal spaces within a larger space such as a cubical at work. Human beings interact and behavior can dictate or contribute to good or bad behavior. The study of environmental psychology helps bridge the

A photograph of Earth reveals a great deal, but it does not convey the complexity of our environment. Our environment (a term that comes from the French environner, “to surround”) is more than water, land, and air; it is the sum total of our surroundings. It includes all of the biotic factors, or living things, with which we interact. It also includes the abiotic factors, or nonliving things, with which we interact. Our environment includes the continents, oceans, clouds, and ice caps you can see in the photo of Earth from space, as well as the animals, plants, forests, and farms that comprise the landscapes around us. In a more inclusive sense, it also encompasses our built
