people's behavior is largely determined by forces not of their own making

写的时候感觉特别不好，没有很清晰的逻辑，希望交流一下这篇issue到底该怎么写呢？例子感觉也写不出来什么

The speaker claims thatthe external forces determine people's behavior more than the forces from theirown. As for me, it's not the external forces but the individuals'responsibility that plays a more important role in their behavior.

The reason why thespeaker's assertion seems plausible is that absolute freedom does not exist at all;any choice or behavior is more or less influenced by immediate environment. Forinstance, one's inherent condition, including physical condition, familycondition, nationality, and so on, could not be determined by an individual;behavior related to those aspects is largely determined by external elements.But people have the liberty of making the choice to behavior in a particularmanner and they are solely responsible for their behavior. So, more behavior isdetermined by the individuals' responsibility rather than the external forces.

Individuals'responsibility is very significant to determine the behavior of people. Takefor example the behavior of students. External forces like the requirement ofdoing well in one's study for getting a good job play an important role indetermining a student's behavior with respect to his study. However, it isultimately the student's individual responsibility that will play the decisiverole in the exact nature of his behavior. A particular student can choose toignore the external forces and decide not to devote time to his study. On theother hand, there may be a student who chooses to be influenced by the externalforces and puts in his level best in studying. Thus, it can be seen that thebehavior of students with respect to their study is not influenced as much byexternal force as compared to their own individual responsibilities.

What's more, sometimesthe individual's responsibility is above the external forces like thosepertaining to society, school, law ect. People a stay within a set of laid downnorms as per the laws that have been enforced. People of a particular countrymay be responsible for the cleanliness of their country by not throwing garbageon the streets as the laws of their country prohibit them from behaving in suchmanner. When the same people go to another country where there are no suchlaws, it is their sense of individual responsibility that will come into playand they may choose to behave in a proper manner depending on how responsiblethey are towards keeping their environment clean.

In the other hand, thereare people who choose to break the laws that have been enforced. What about theeffect of external forces on these people? They decide not to let the externalforces to determine their behavior. Moreover, they have taken the decision toignore the responsibilities that they should take. So without the individualresponsibility, the external forces cannot control over some people's behavior.

Asociety which chooses not to be blamed the individuals for their actions cannever thrive. There will be mass disobedience of rules and the framework of lawand order of the society will break down. Therefore, it is essential thatindividuals be held responsible for their behavior as they are the ones who havechosen to behave in that particular manner.

In sum,It can be said that more than external forces, it is the individuals’ responsibility that determines his behavior.

谢谢，我再写一篇看看

这种比较抽象的题目，LZ最好把自己觉得比较抽象的词能再扩展具体化下，比如forces，你能想到什么？举个例子，Forces是来自哪里？是什么样的Forces，积极的or消极的？human‘s behavior 是自己决定还是外界forces决定，是随什么因素变化的或者在什么情况下有不同的影响或者是固定的？再就是人的行为又有很多类型，比如做决定，比如穿衣服，比如说话走路等等。我的想法是：
1.人在少儿时期，行为很多时候是受环境的影响，来自外界的forces，比如父母老师的教育，同学的影响，自己的喜欢的明星的影响，因为这个时候，很多人是没有很好的主观判断力的，更多时候是随众的，当然除了少数人成熟的早。
2.当人成年之后，行为的选择，就要分为两方面来讲，有些是自己决定，有些是外界决定。（分为两段）
3.总结。
不知道我这个想法怎么样？临时想的

普渡哥有什么建议吗？这篇issue该怎么写好呢？

responsibility 也有外力因素吧？
