Human Behavior

Rational choice theory holds that human behavior is governed by individuals making decisions based on weighing the benefits and costs of their actions. It posits that individuals will choose the option that maximizes their personal utility or satisfaction.

One human characteristic of Cyprus is its cultural diversity due to its historical influences from various civilizations like Greek, Turkish, and British. This has resulted in a unique blend of traditions, languages, and cuisines on the island.

Men and women are obviously different. The biggest difference is communication. Men do not understand that hooting and hollering does not make a woman feel complimented, it's annoying. If you are not cosmetically challenged, consider yourself lucky.

But ask yourself, are you really being harassed or are you lacking self esteem and when men notice you, it makes you feel extremely uncomfortable?

I think I understand what you are saying, but if you are at the point of not being able to leave your home because you do not want the attention you are getting, it is an internal problem.

It sounds like a counselor would be your best advisory in this case. Not all men are harassing you. Men do not communicate the same way women do, and if you are unable to function on a daily basis due to these unwelcoming compliments, I strongly suggest you seek professional help.

Everyone is entitled to live freely. If you feel so trapped that you can not function, you need to look inside yourself and ask why?

I say I understand because I have been told I am pretty. I do not see that. I am ok with it. I feel "spongebob cute". That's it..

So, when I hear the "hootin' and hollerin'", I giggle and laugh. I don't see it, but if that's the way men do, I can't change their perspective. It's mine I have to work on. So, the best way to deal with it, and to do what I have to every day is to laugh.

Ignore it.

If it is TRUE harassment, call the police and make a report. If it's just men noticing how beautiful you are, it should make you feel good. It has nothing to do with your sexuality. It's cosmetic.

I hate when people look at me. I really do. So, I have learned to walk with my head held high and look straight forward. I will go into the store and get what I need, ignoring what I hear and tune it out. If I catch someone's eye, I will politely say hello, then continue walking on. I had to make myself learn to do that. And it says so much about you, when you don't walk looking at the ground. Look straight forward and tell yourself you have a job to do (whether it's going to the post office, or grocery store, or even taking your car to the dealership where you know there are herds of men) but it's the way you present yourself and the react - or don't react.

It's your life.. Don't let anyone else control it.. especially strangers.. (and even more especially - men.. ). You deserve to be happy, but it comes from inside.. not the outside..

I have found I get more attention when I don't wear make up. That is the funniest thing I have ever heard. But, to each their own.

So, pretty woman, try to think of them as giving you compliments but if it's actually interrupting your life, please seek professional help. No one ever deserves to feel trapped in their own home, for fear of being noticed.

Get help if you feel you can't accomplish daily tasks, because what you think may not be reality. It may be how you feel about yourself, and what you think others are doing, when in truth, it's your own lack of self confidence and self esteem that trap you.. We are are own worst enemy.

Learn to be your own best friend and then you might see the world in a different way.. But I feel 99% confident it's the way you are perceive things, than the way it really is..

Good luck..

If you come across as friendly and helpful to someone, they will want to get to know you some more. However if you are constantly immature and aggressive, they will not want to know. How you present and behave yourself affects how people perceive (view) you.

The human behavior is the mirror of one's morals and conduct. All God religions call for good morals to influence positively human relations and support human solidarity. Refer to related question below on Morals as extracted from Quran that is a good example of morals called for by other God religions. Moreover, Atheists also follow good morals as a way for good social and human relations. They all call for tolerance, forgiveness, alms giving, helping the needy people, honesty, justice, ... etc.

Quran says (meaning English translation):

" And not equal are the good deed and the bad. Repel [evil] by that [deed] which is better; and thereupon the one whom between you and him is enmity [will become] as though he was a devoted friend. But none is granted it except those who are patient, and none is granted it except one having a great portion [of good]."(41: 34-35)

Refer to related question below.

People have different values due to a combination of factors such as upbringing, culture, personal experiences, and beliefs. These factors shape individuals' perspectives and influence what they prioritize and consider important in their lives, resulting in a diversity of values among people.

Montresor's motivation in Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Cask of Amontillado" is revenge. He feels that Fortunato has wronged him in some way, though the exact nature of the offense is never explicitly stated in the story. Montresor seeks to make Fortunato pay for his perceived slight by leading him into the catacombs and bricking him up alive.

Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, believed that human behavior is strongly influenced by unconscious sexual and aggressive drives. He proposed that these unconscious forces motivate much of human behavior.

Laws set the boundaries for acceptable behavior in organizations, influencing how employees interact with each other and with the organization itself. Compliance with laws shapes organizational policies and practices, affecting areas such as hiring, discrimination, and workplace safety. Failure to adhere to laws can lead to legal consequences, impacting the reputation and viability of the organization.

Empathy means being able to understand another's emotions or situation without having been in that situation yourself, or while being in a completely different situational context. It is very similar to compassion in that it implies being in a different psychological state, yet being able to allow for latitude in understanding another person's emotions.

It is often confused with sympathy, which implies being in a similar psychological state or circumstances, or having been in another's situation and relating to them as if you are relating to yourself in terms of recall of the psychological state associated with it.

With regard to cultural misunderstandings, conflict resolution, and other forms of diplomacy, empathy is critical as two parties have opposing positions or views and need to be able to set aside their own context and feelings in order to "feel" the other party's position. Once one party does this, it eases the aggression and defensive position of the other party...allowing for the other party to begin to meet you in the middle and empathize with you.

When this happens, both parties can finally resolve disputes and misunderstandings.

This is true not only with different cultures, but also in marriages, friendships, and other interpersonal relations.

We just had a question on this site asking "How do you tell your brother to calm down?" which was answered in some detail, beginning with the statement that it is emotional abuse to tell someone to calm down. So it would seem that if someone is telling others to calm down, you could cite that answer, or ask them to look it up themselves under the exact working that I have quoted. Of course, people will not necessarily be convinced, just by reading something on the internet, however, it is still better to be able to refer someone to a published opinion rather than just your own opinion.

It is quite common that when people say they might do something, they actually intend to do it. This happens all the time. Perhaps in your case, to avoid giving people the wrong idea, you should refrain from announcing your plans until you have decided what it is that you actually are going to do.

No, males and females have evolved to think in different ways.

This does not make one gender more capable than the other.

However, it does make each gender inherently more skilled in certain areas of thinking.

Typically (and this does not mean "always"), boys are more geared toward spatial skills and tasks involving singular, intense focus. As such, males are more adept at hunting, targeting, locating objects within an environment from a map, and the maths and sciences.

Females, on the other hand, are much more adept at tasks that involve interpersonal cooperation, group collaboration, and tasks that involve splitting their attention (multitasking).

A good example of one of the ways that males and females think and share information is in how they give directions to a location.

Males are more likely to provide numerical, coordinate-based data...such as compass directions, distances, street names, etc..

Women are more likely to give directions involving street names with respect to landmarks.

Some will play with their hair to amuse themselves or we could say go to the salon and then you could i think it may be a habit it may be something to get trained for and it may be the better choice.

Using racial slurs like the N-word is offensive and inappropriate in any context. Stereotyping people based on their race or behavior, such as tipping, is discriminatory and perpetuates racial biases. It is important to treat all individuals with respect and not make assumptions based on their race or behavior.

The universalist perspective sees culture as a minor influence on human behavior, emphasizing common human traits and behaviors that transcend cultural boundaries. This view believes that underneath cultural differences, people share fundamental similarities and are essentially the same.
