External Environment Analysis

The environment one grows up in can heavily impact one’s behavior. These environments include internal such as family or the house which a person grows up in, and external can include the kind of city you grew up in or your style of neighborhood. Family culture and traditions often form a person, developing a sense of responsibility through morals. Often a person will carry on the behaviors learned as a child through life, which helps develop this responsible and responsive behavior. For example, if a tradition of a family is to greet others when entering a public area, because it is done so many times the tradition will become second nature and will keep on. Having a strong internal environment causes a person to grow into a responsible person of character with good morals; being respectful towards others. On the other hand, external influences can also determine how one’s behavior will form. The city or neighborhood a

The conditions in life that cannot be controlled governs our choices, Usually referred to as the Nature versus Nurture debate, this argument says that human choice is limited by where we were born and how we are born. There is no denying the long made correlation between heredity and behavior. For example, East Asians are known to be quite smart. To take this assertion as gospel would be ignorant and stereotypical, but to disregard it completely is false. East Asian culture is known to stress school and higher education. In result, countries like China, Japan, and Korea inhabit some of the most intelligent individuals and innovative technology in the world. Nevertheless, this draws another parallel between upbringing and behavior, but not so positive in affect. East Asian countries stress education, but

One of the oldest arguments in the history of psychology is the Nature vs Nurture debate. This said debate is important in whether the child’s development is based only in genetics or environmental impacts. The definition of nurture refers to all the environmental variables that impact who we are. Throughout the child’s development, it is seen that the genetic influence over abstract traits of the child may exist; but, the environmental factors are the real origins of our behavior. This shows that the use of conditioning in the aspects of physical, social, and moral is crucial to the child’s development as it is the product of maturation. In the physical aspect, it shows that the deprivation of the mother while inside her womb will develop

A sociologist from Mississippi State University, John Bartkowski did a study of 16,000 kids and their parents and teachers to see if the behavior is correlated with how much religion is involved in the home. The outcome showed that when parents frequently attended religious services and spoke with their children about faith and religion were more well behaved, had better social skills, and were more interested in learning. Because the parents remain invested in their faith, more often than not, kids are influenced by this and follow suit. Being involved in any type of church can bring a sense of community and unity between people, even if they are complete opposites. (1) In addition, well-behaved children tend to have better morals, and in fact, students with religious

The adherence to different religions in different parts of the world introduces a variable to measure morality against, as religion is a social construct that creates different moral standards for a society to adhere to based on what religion it dominantly practices. By comparing the tenants of the worlds’ religions to each other, some basic tenant of objective morality can be established. If no shared tenants could not be found, then it would be proven that objective morality does not exist; this, however, is not the case. In examining shared tenants across religions, two basic, universal tenants can be discovered. These are self-improvement (though through what means is generally dependent upon a specific religion) and general good will towards and treatment of one’s fellow society members.

There is always a conflict between religious beliefs (Roccas, 2005). Irreligious people live according to rituals, behaviors, and other values that align with their own personal ethic, while Religious individuals abide by what is given them by their divine authority. These variations are easily scientifically observable, but, the motives behind the beliefs require more insight and intuition to deduce. According to Roccas (2005), values are the motives behind their actions. This includes factors that influence one to act a certain way, understand situations, and give reasons for their behaviors. It is a method to quench people’s desires through meaningful and ethical means. The concept of good and bad are founded on this idea of values (Roccas, 2005). These place a hierarchical order of significance and morality in one’s life. Values such as “family security,” “forgiveness,” and “obedience” take priority in importance to those of religious lifestyles. Some of the values that are attributed to low importance in the lives of religious individuals may include “pleasure” and “an exciting life” (Roccas, 2005). Consistent with Roccas’ (2005) views, Schwartz relates values to preferences, categorization according to significance in one’s life, and guidance in a person’s lifelong pursuits. Schwartz derived “power, achievement, hedonism, stimulation, self-direction, universalism, benevolence, tradition, conformity, and security” that

An Internal Analysis of a company focuses on the strengths and weaknesses of internal factors that give a company certain advantages and disadvantages in meeting the needs of its target market. Strengths refer to core competencies that give the firm an advantage in meeting the needs of its target markets. Weaknesses refer to any limitations a company faces in developing or implementing a strategy. The aim of the internal analysis is to identify the company’s strengths and weaknesses and as a result the company should be able to identify what it is or is not capable of doing and what it needs to address before pursuing certain strategic options.
