Journal Title: Acta Psychopathologica - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
“Cause and effect” is a law largely spoken and used by anonymous authors. It is a law which tends to assume that for everything to happen there must be a cause. Well, others may put it this way, that nothing happens, whether good or bad, without a cause. Given time, living creatures change. People’s behavior changes depending on the nature of the existing surrounding. Climate has also experienced a drastic and shocking temperature raise living the lives of people and other animals in a terrifying insecurity. These are changes. In actual sense nothing seems static so to speak. In any given group that constitutes people, its structural pattern matters significantly depending on the set objectives. Groups could be of an industry, family, administration, an orchestra, club, or any organization. As far as people are concerned, proper environment has to be accessed so that an opportunity is provided for them to develop their carrier as persons as well as professionals. In an African context, therefore, it should be held evident that character development is achieved through the expanding experience in a given social order. Man as a social being need a higher level of mental hygiene that is incredibly influenced by what the person can offer to himself as well as from the organization around him.
