Environmental determinism is the study of how the physical environment predisposes societies and states towards particular development trajectories.
In a simpler form it implies that, how the physical environment affect the behavior of man in the society. Environmental determinism can be in numerous form in which it dictate the behavior of people in the society.
It determine what you wear( during the raining season I the tropical region you will have to go out with your umbrella and if the rain is heavy you will have to stay indoor).
It affect the socio-cultural activities in the society.i.e, in most part of the tropical rainforest Nigeria for example, it is believed that it is during the raining season that they have their Ogun festival mostly in the Yoruba land.
It change the orientation of people towards executing a particular project.
I woke up this morning to see that it's raining and therefore I have to stay in bed because the environment is determining my behavior and actions.
