“What makes a person behave the way he behaves?” was a question I was asked in a B-School form, and that really triggered off a long line of thoughts. What is the answer? I dont know. Is it just your likes and dislikes that affect your behaviour? What about social taboos and stuff like that, and even ignoring all external aspects, what actually causes your likes and dislikes that in turn dictate how you behave? Is it the your surroundings that dictate your behavious? Or, is it just your past experiences and your experiences as learnt from others? The factors and the potential inter-relationships among them are countless. I will stop here or else this will become a mini-psychology theory.
