Why Did I Do That? |
As
you worked through Unit 1, you learned about three ways of
viewing the world: the atheistic, agnostic and Christian world
views. You also learned about the "new life" that is
available to the Christian. Now you are ready to begin a new
unit on behavior. Since this is the "New Life
Behavior" course, our central theme is how a "new
life" or "new life thinking" can impact our
behavior. In this first lesson we will ask the title question:
"Why did I do that?" We will look at how
thinking and feeling lead to behaving. |

Trust, Distrust and Human
Development
|
In
lesson 1 of this unit, we learned how thinking and feeling
influence behavior. We also learned about the "Four G's:
Genes, Groups, Guidelines, and Goals".
In this lesson we will look at the origins of our behavior and
how it develops from infancy to old age.
Even though it is true that we
are free to determine our behavior, there are definite
influences that enhance or repress productive behavior. |

Parent and Family Influences |
In
this lesson we will study two more family factors of behavior:
"Family Systems" and "The Bible and Parental
Behavior."
As young children we are very
dependent on and attached to our family, especially our mothers.
When given a choice, children will probably choose to stay in a
dysfunctional family rather than move to a healthy family.

Human Needs and Values |
We
are designed by God, to glorify God and return to God. We are
also designed as souls to operate as achievers and live the
abundant life. Therefore, all of us have an inner drive to live
at our highest level: physically, socially, mentally and
spiritually. As our primary needs are met, we will aspire and
behave so as to fulfill our higher level needs. |
