UNDERSTANDING THE HUMAN BEHAVIOUR

Human behaviour refers to the way humans act and interact. It is based on and influenced by several factors, such as genetic make-up, culture and individual values and attitudes. Human behaviour, the potential and expressed capacity for physical, mental, and social activity during the phases of human life.

Humans, like other animal species, have a typical life course that consists of successive phases of growth, each of which is characterized by a distinct set of physical, physiological, and behavioral features. These phases are prenatal life, infancy, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood (including old age).

What causes human behaviour?

Behaviour is also driven, in part, by thoughts and feelings, which provide insight into individual psyche, revealing such things as attitudes and values. Human behaviour is shaped by psychological traits, as personality types vary from person to person, producing different actions and behaviour.

While there are many factors that motivate behaviour, there are four primary functions of  that make a behaviour more likely to happen in the future:

▪️social attention

▪️access to tangible items or preferred activities ▪️escape or avoidance of demands and activities

▪️sensory sensitivities (this could be seeking or avoiding sensory input).

So what exactly is behaviour?

▪️Actions are behaviour

▪️Cognitions are behaviour

▪️Emotions are behaviour

Three fundamental types of behaviour can be distinguished: 

▪️the purely practical - a determining reason

▪️the theoretical-practical - a motivating reason

▪️the purely theoretical - a supporting reason

Five common personality determinants:

▪️Brain. The brain is one of the most important personality determinants

▪️Physical Characteristics. One of the most important factors in determining personality are an individual’s physical characteristics

▪️Social Experiences

▪️Culture and Religion

▪️Heredity

What are behavioural characteristics?

Behavioural characteristics are based on behaviour of the person. Voice, Signature, Keystroke Dynamics, Gaits etc. traits falls under the behavioural characteristics.

A study on human behaviour has revealed that 90% of the population can be classified into four basic personality types: 

▪️Optimistic

▪️Pessimistic

▪️Trusting

▪️Envious. 

However, the latter of the four types, Envious, is the most common, with 30% compared to 20% for each of the other groups.

There are four different types of communication behavior: 

▪️aggressive

▪️assertive

▪️passive

▪️passive-aggressive

What factors can affect behaviour?

Behaviour is affected by factors relating to the person, including:

▪️physical factors - age, health, illness, pain, influence of a substance or medication

▪️personal and emotional factors - personality, beliefs, expectations, emotions, mental health

▪️life experiences - family, culture, friends, life events

▪️what the person needs and wants.

Behaviour is also affected by the context, including:

▪️what is happening at the time

▪️the environment - heat, light, noise, privacy

▪️the response of other people, which is affected by their own physical factors, personal and emotional factors, life experiences, wants and needs.

How strange are men really? 

Studies show male behavior is totally explainable.

New research suggests that, shockingly, men feel bad about themselves if somebody else opens the door for them. Women don’t. (Apparently this is worth researching.) This is not, by the way, the walk through the door and leave it open so the dude behind you doesn’t have it slam in his face type of opening. This is the jump in front of the guy and let him pass before you. Men are uncomfortable with this. To be honest, a lot of women don’t love it either, since it seems to suggest that we are too fragile to do as puny task as pushing a door. 

Then there’s the research that men feel small when their wives or girlfriends are successful. All right, maybe that is a little retro of them. But now that more women are more educated than their husbands, that too will end eventually. As will, hopefully, this long line of headlines that suggest that while women may be from Venus, men are from some different cosmos altogether. The difference between the sexes, physically, is quite striking, but behavior and personality-wise, as this study shows, not quite so much.

Female personality types:

Women and men build their personalities from the same pool of traits. They're both influenced by their parents and siblings in early childhood and beyond. As such, there are few differences between male and female personality types, but children may be socialized to prioritize different traits.

The test results reveal 16 different personalities, each a combination that includes one the four following qualities:

▪️Introversion/Extroversion

▪️Intuiting/sensing

▪️Feeling/thinking

▪️Perceiving/judging

The alpha female vs the beta female

In the last decade, the theory of the alpha female has become a hot topic; it's not only popular in magazines and websites, but also in serious scientific research. Although men and women tend to occupy different roles in modern society, women's brains are similar to men's brains, so it makes sense that women may be wired for more dominant behavior than conventional thought might assume.

Alpha female characteristics include the following:

▪️Sexual

▪️Career-oriented

▪️Dominant

▪️Confident

▪️Assertive

▪️Confrontational

▪️Funny

▪️Strong

▪️Competitive

The beta female, the lesser-known sister of the alpha, has many positive qualities as well. Some of their personal qualities include the following:

▪️Easy-going

▪️Good listeners

▪️Passive

▪️Nurturing

▪️Gentle

There are a number of factors underlying behaviour: personality, motivation, values, abilities and environment, to name a few. So why measure behaviour in particular?

▪️It can change

▪️It can be observed 

▪️It’s situational

▪️It’s practical

▪️It makes individuals and teams tick

▪️It can be predicted

▪️It’s more important than intelligence in predicting success

▪️It can be extrapolated

Many believe that whatever situations have happened in the past should be left in the past. To others, the past holds a special place in their hearts because it has helped in shaping the person they have become today.

Behavior is also driven, in part, by thoughts and feelings, which provide insight into individual psyche, revealing such things as attitudes and values. Human behavior is shaped by psychological traits, as personality types vary from person to person, producing different actions and behavior. Extraverted people, for instance, are more likely than introverted people to participate in social activities like parties.

People with great passions, people who accomplish great deeds, people who possess strong feelings, even people with great minds and a strong personality, rarely come out of good little boys and girls.

IS ISLAM A THREAT TO MULTICULTURAL DEMOCRACIES?

Is Islam a Threat to Multicultural Democracies?

According to a Harvard University study, the Islamisation of a country cannot be stopped once the Muslim population reaches 16 percent of the total population. This is what Islam expert, Nikoletta Incze, said on 22 June'19 on Hungarian public television.

Incze points out that many countries that are Islamic today were originally Christian, for example Turkey, Egypt & Syria.

In other countries as well, Islam supplanted the previous religion: Pakistan was Hindu, Afghanistan was Buddhist, Iran was dominated by Zoroastrianism.

According to her, the Islamisation of a country is already inevitable, when the proportion of Muslims of the population is about 16 percent. It will take another 100 to 150 years before the Islamisation is complete. 

Dr. Peter Hammond’s book, “Slavery, Terrorism and Islam,” says "Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life,” “Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components" 

Open, free, democratic societies are particularly vulnerable. He says “When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other components tend to creep in as well". 

This is how it works. When the Muslim population remains under 2% in a country, they'll be seen primarily as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to other citizens. This is current situation in:

USA  0.6%

Australia 1.5%

Canada 1.9%

China 1.8%

Italy  1.5%

Norway 1.8%

As the Muslim population reaches 2% to 5%, they begin to recruit from ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, within prisons and street gangs. This is happening in:

Denmark 2%

Germany 3.7%

United Kingdom 2.7%

Spain 4%

Thailand  4.6%

From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their % of population,” Dr. Hammond notes. “For example, they will push for the introduction of halal food” and increase pressure to feature such food on shop shelves along with threats for failure to comply.This is happening in:

France — 8%

Philippines — 5%

Sweden —  5%

Switzerland —  4.3%

The Netherlands —  5.5%

Trinidad & Tobago — 5.8%

Soon they begin to apply pressure to allow Sharia law within their own communities (sometimes ghettos). When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions,” Dr. Hammond notes "In Paris, we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats..such as in Amsterdam, with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam.” These tensions are seen on a regular basis in:

Guyana — 10%

India — 13.4%

Israel —  16%

Kenya —  10

Russia — 15%

The violence increases when the Muslim population reaches 20%. “After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches & Jewish synagogues,” such as in:

Ethiopia —  32.8%

At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare,” such as in:

Bosnia — Muslim 40%

Chad — Muslim 53.1%

Lebanon — Muslim 59.7%

From 60%, persecution of non-believing “infidels” rises significantly, including sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia law as a weapon, and Jizya, a tax placed on infidels, such as in:

Albania — 70%

Malaysia —  60.4%

Qatar —  77.5%

Sudan —  70%

After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out “infidels,” and move toward a 100% Muslim society, which has been experienced to some degree in: 

Bangladesh — Muslim 83%

Egypt — Muslim 90%

Gaza — Muslim 98.7%

Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%

Iran — Muslim 98%

Iraq — Muslim 97%

Jordan — Muslim 92%

Morocco —  98.7%

Pakistan —  97%

Palestine —  99%

Syria —  90%

Tajikistan —  90%

Turkey — 99.8%

United Arab Emirates —  96% 

A 100% Muslim society will theoretically usher in their version of peace — the peace of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ — the Islamic House of Peace. “Here there’s supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrassas are the only schools, & the Koran is the only word,” such as in:

Afghanistan — 100%

Saudi Arabia —100%

Somalia — 100%

Yemen — 100%

Dr. Hammond observes this Islamic ideal is seldom realized. “Unfortunately, peace is never achieved, as in these 100% states the most radical Muslims intimidate and spew hatred, .....& satisfy their blood lust by killing less radical Muslims, for a variety of reasons.”

“It is important to understand that in some countries, with well under 100% Muslim populations, such as France, minority Muslim populations live in ghettos, within which they are....100% Muslim, and within which they live by Sharia law,” he states.

Dr. Hammond is also concerned by demographic trends. “Today’s 1.5 billion Muslims make up 22% of the world’s population,” ...

He further says “But their birth rates dwarf the birth rates of Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, and all other believers. Muslims will exceed 50% of the world’s population by the end of this century"
