In the perspective of behaviorists, the environment plays a central role in shaping human behavior. According to B.F Skinner in 1953, behavior is not a product of free will but rather it is the result of environmental influences and consequences. Based on this view, individuals learn to behave in different ways because of the reinforcement and punishment that they experience in their surroundings. The environment is represented by parents, teachers, and the community. if the behavior is followed by a positive outcome, such as a reward or praise, it may likely be repeated, but when it is followed by a negative consequence, such as failure or negative comments, it may likely not be repeated. For instance, in the classroom setting, if a student submits their assignment/project late and receives a minus-10, the minus-10 is the punishment for their late submission because of that, the student learns that submitting his/her assignment late can result in a low score, with thus the student will submit his/her assignment on time to avoid a failing grade. The punishment is also a way of disciplining the student to be more conscious on the deadline. Thus, the environment acts as a powerful shaper and controller of behavior. The environment (teacher) shapes the student to be time-conscious and respect and value the rule of submitting the assignment on time.In the perspective of behaviorists, the environment plays a central role in shaping human behavior.
