Why do people change?

Answer 1

Good question. I had a sociology class in high school, in my 12th grade year. I have the answer for you.

There is many things, issues, and situations, that can cause a person to change. A person can change, for a number of reasons, and in many different ways. Often a person changes, from experiences he/she learns from. All through life, you are going to learn things, from different experiences. These different experiences, can be good or bad. Experiences can teach you, how to deal with certain changes in your life. Learning from different experiences, can change the way a person thinks and feels about something.

The way a person thinks, is a huge factor on his/her life, and the factor on the people around that person. The way you act and think, effects people you are around often. If you treat people calmly with respect, they will know you truely know how to treat people the right way.

Some people don't care about respect, and they treat others, the way they want to treat them. I am preety sure, that we all have seen people like this. If a person is careless about respect, they soon will learn how to give respect. Then they will change for the good, and take that lesson and think about it for the future.

A person can also change, mentally and physically. Good or bad, this can make a difference in the particular person and for the family of that person. For an example, when I was a child, I was very greedy and was very bratty to a lot of people. I was like that for years, until I decided to change my personality. For whatever reason why I wanted to change my personality, I am now a calmer, more polite person.

A person can change his/her appearence. Let's say one person goes on through life, not caring what he/she wears and doesn't care about looking sloppy. One time in that person's life, he/she could decide to buy neater looking clothes, and starts to care about looking neater. That person could start dressing neater, and taking more care of what he/she looks like. Later on, that person could be 100% neater looking, then 2 weeks ago. This person just change a physical out-look, on what his/her appearence. This is something other people will see, and this obviously is a change for the good.

I gave you some examples, and I hope they explained good enought. See, there's dozens of way a person can change, bad or good.

Why People Change

Answer 3

We change for alot of reasons.

1. We change because we grow more mature as we age and we give up some of our immature behaviors of the past.

2. We change because we find better or different ways to react towards situations and events. Example, I would have been devastated if someone I knew died when I was younger but know I am still upset and cry but I am older and so are my friends and I know these things happen, and crying won't change it.

3. Sometimes we change because we've been through therapy and learn that a particular behavior isn't the way to live and we work through therapy to change that behavior. It's tough but it works and it's for the good of the person.

4. Other times we change because of situations we are put in or put ourselves in, such as abusive relationships, or dealing with a sick parent, or a bad job. We may become bitter, or hard and it's understandable based on the situation. There are alot of situations where it's hard to imagine how you would react unless you've been there.

5. Sometimes we change because of chemical imbalances in our brains and that can be dealt with through medication. Examples of this would be Panic Disorder, Anxiety Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Bipolar Disorder and things like that require medication and affect the personality. I know this first-hand because I have to take medication for two of the above named disorders and without my medication I'm a basketcase.

This is just a few of my ideas on why people change.

I know...sux, huh? People are always looking for the other side of the fence...where the grass is always greener.

People move on--some to better--some to worse places in this life. Some care about the ones they've left behind--others do not.

We move on, too, though...though maybe the timing is different than that of our friends and loved-ones.

When we hurt, it's always best to jump back on that bicycle--take a class, start a new hobby, take up a sports or exercise program, get spiritual...whatever rocks our boats, and helps us to feel better.

If we are in any way artistically inclined (painting, writing, singing, dancing, acting, etc.), it's best to use those talents to help us through these rough patches.

I hope that you are not hurting, and that all is well. Try to get into something new and different--it might do you a world of good. For that matter, I should be practicing what I preach, lol :)

Answer 5

Change is the one thing in life you can count on. It's a good thing. We are a people under construction. Life lessons are learned through various channels. Experience is a great teacher, as is reason. Look forword to your life - change will be there.

Answer 6

You seriously dont expect who you are as a child or teen to be able to survive in the world, do you?

Change is for the good, sometimes for the bad. But regardless, change happens because the individual feels it helps them cope with the world as they grow.

Thing is, some people cant deal with people changing, even for the better.

Answer 7

I like what Raji said. All living organisms grow. Look at plants and trees, cats and dogs, babies and adults.....we change as we learn more and form different ideas or opinions. Sometimes we change for the better and sometimes for the worse. Living as a Christian, I try to change my lifestyle to be more Christlike.
(and I am so thankful that He forgives me when I'm not.)

Answer 8

for some one we love and we know that we need to change some things in our life to make it work or work better. or as time changes we change and as we get older we learn form are past.

Answer 9

I have been trying to figure out the answer to this question. Here is what I have figured so far. He is going to help make college more affordable by giving every college student $4000 per year for education costs. He will help young children's education by giving free early childhood education to people who are middle or lower class. (His definition of middle class is under $150K). He is going to make health care more affordable by giving companies that give employees insurance a tax deduction for every employee insured. Those that don't have insurance through employers he will give cheap or free health care. He will bring jobs back from overseas by giving tax breaks to companies that keep jobs here. He is going to resolve the oil crisis by giving money to the auto makers to develop cars that get better gas mileage. He is going to solve global warming by giving companies money to develop solar power, wind power, and bio-fuels. He is going to solve poverty by giving tax breaks to everyone making less than $150K. Does anyone see a pattern here - give, give , give? Where does the money come from? The rich? They are the ones that invest in companies that hire people. More taxes on them means less to invest. Business? Great !! More incentive for them to move jobs overseas. He has not promised to bring troops home from Iraq in 16 months. He has said he will start deploying troops from Iraq. The plan is to move the troops to Afghanistan not bring them home. They will still be in the Middle East fighting. He has also said any time table is up to the generals on the ground.
