Ex// we strive to maintain sense of consistency in our behaviour: biological being: we all have a unique genetic, physical, physiological, and temperamental nature, conditioning/shaping: we"re subject to conditioning and shaping by our experiences and environments. Surroundings sometimes train us to act a certain way. Interaction: our nature is an on-going interaction between us, and the environment.
