Question: Can you explain the "reasons behind why" people do what they do!?
(Someone suggested I post this here too)
http://answers!.yahoo!.com/question/index;!.!.!.Are we accountable for what we do!? When does are accountability begin, if there is a genetic, social, and inherit factors that all contribute to the actions that we take!? Why isn't "common sense" just considered one of those 3 things (the one that stands out)!? So what is it when you are reacting to something beyond those 3 factors!? Or is it always only those 3 factors that are a contributing factor for the reasons why "we do what we do"!?

There's a whole lot of folks that believe there is karma!. Then there's epigenetics!. It is different from your inherit factors because influences external to the DNA coil control which genes get switched on and when!. One of the biggest factors is the consciousness that stores our opinions!. Those determine how we perceive!. That determines thought!. Thought controls speech and actions!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
No, I can only explain 'the reasons behind why I do what I do!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
this is my personal opinion, but i think there are psychological factors, culture factors, and countless other factors that PRESSURE us to do things!. all of the factors that go into the "why" are just empty reasons, because it's not an excuse!.!.!.
for example: if someone rapes another person, they may have a brain problem that causes them to have extremely high sexual urges!.!.!.way more then the "normal" human!. however, is this an excuse!?
allot of people are saying that it is, but i don't believe it, society pressures allot of decisions, but the final decision is always OUR decision, psychological factors make it allot harder for some humans than others to do things or prevent themselves from doing things, but in the end it's THEIR decision!.!.!.!.
allot of people like pointing the finger, because life is hard!.!.!.well boohoo, everyone goes through different growth patterns, and factors that are too many to count, but in the end, the final decision is theirs and theirs alone, everyone and everything is pressuring us into ways of living, and decisions!.!.!.!.everyone wants to put the blame on something else, but defining the difference between pressures and force isn't as hard as people are making it out to be!.
if someone does something dumb on drugs, they'll just say they got high and they couldn't help it!.!.!.!.well WHO"S decision was it to get high!? if the user accepted the consumption of any drug the responsibility falls right back on them for taking the drug!.!.!.then they blame peer pressure, but that's still not an excuse, the only valid excuse would be if someone stuck the drugs into a person when the person violently fighting back!.!.!.
if someone violently forces their will upon you, then that is a valid factor!.!.!.anything else is just a pressureWww@QuestionHome@Com
