Reality of Habits & Traits

 by: Nilesh Gore

We are always concerned of our-self & our children about habits traits & behavior. So I thought traits(character) & habits are not just the words but as the powerful weapons & can be good and bad, that why I elaborated it with explanation in this article.

Emphasis on the consistent behavior, which is a characteristics of all traits, may lead one believe that traits & habits are same. Both, Its true, are learnt pattern of behavior. Both consistent in that similar situation it is possible to predict that the persons behavior will be similar to the behavior in past. & both imply that learning has resulted in behavior that occurs so automatically that the person does not have to plan his act and behavior & often not aware of what is doing until after has done it.

THE MAJOR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HABITS & TRAITS is that habit is narrow & limited determining the tendencies while on other hand traits are more generalized determining tendencies. And because they are more generalized, traits are more variable in expression than habits. Traits are more often the result of the integration of several specific habits that have the same adaptive significance for the person.

EXAMPLE:

:- Through parental guidance, Child learns specific polite habits like saying “Sorry “ or “Excuse me” when he inconveniences others. And to giving proper respect to elders. Child learns that his habits are socially expected & approved. Child also discovers that they lead to the greater social acceptance than other behaviors. In this process & time child also sees & realizes the relationship between these specific habits & favorable social concepts. Consciously or unconsciously child learns to act consistently & responsibly in manner in which polite or valued acts plays an important. Then he is judged by others as “polite person”. One of the outstanding traits is “POLITENESS”.

EXLUSIVE FACT:

Child’s traits are blueprint of parents personality and habits. Habits has direct impact on “GENES” and mystically transfer via hereditary. In our society there are many accepted norms of society(or “follow the crowed” behavior), few of them bad as well. Which affects child very drastically directly and indirectly. (just like Drinking, smoking & other bad addictions including premarital sex, teasing – harassment – molestation of females / adolescents and so on.)

Only you can decide how your generation next will be.

Only you can decide what kind of habits you have to keep.

Only you can decide what kind of habits you want to develop in your CHILD.

Only u can decide how u & ur child & your country will be recognized by ur

Quality of traits in society & world.

Thanks for your Time & Consideration,
