The location of agriculture at all scales is the result of the interaction between physical, cultural and economic and behavioural factors. Farming in Great Britain has been characterized by technological changes in recent decades which has led to massive increases in yields and improved stock rearing.

employers are desperately trying to fit the perfect person into the perfect position. Some of the "master chefs" of the selection business are paying special attention to the new chemistry between personality tests, competency requirements, and behavioural interviewing.

explain the full function of human behaviour. Psychodynamic approaches often come under a lot of criticism as they fail to be explicit about the underlying bases of the theory.

It has become quite clear in the field of Psychology, and to some Psychologists like Windy Dryden (Individual Therapy) explicitly clear that there is a missing linkand that somewhere
psychology of the buyer, his motives, attitudes, as well as the influences on him such as his family and reference groups, social class and culture.

ethics and morality. In the science of psychology, prominent psychologist Sigmund Frued talks about the development and the role of the conscience in his theory. Other later psychologists also use the concept of conscience in their cognitive and behavioural theories. The conscience is not tangible and it is a complex idea to which different theorists have presented different ideas. I shall not delve into the details of what these different theorists say about conscience as that would be beyond the
imperfect markets take many forms. Oligopoly theory, those name refers to "competition among the few", lack unambiguous results of these interactions unlike monopoly and perfect competition. There is a variety of results derived from many different behavioural assumptions, with each specific model potentially relevant to certain real-world situations, but not to others. Here we are interested in the strategic nature of competition between firms. "Strategic" means the dependence of each person's proper

Two basic concepts in behavioural learning are classical and operant conditioning. Classical conditioning is the most basic way animals learn about their environment and associates stimuli with that environment while operant conditioning has shown how animals learn to associate actions (behaviours) with outcomes (consequences) (Bouton, 2007). Within operant conditioning came Thorndike’s The Law of Effect, which states that stimuli can have multiple responses and from those responses the ones that
Abstract Positive behavioural support here is a system where individual and group behaviours are to be considered and it should provide a face of change to the organization even through a small act.

It also gives emphases on the behavior pattern and effect of individual behavior with organization. The study targets on knowing the differences between positive and negative behavior and also
Discussion: Behavioural ecology investigates the interaction between ecology and the behaviour of an animal. An animal’s behaviour is the result of natural selection over past generations favoured by selection (Deag 1996). It was observed that Dusky Moorhen, Ibis and Pacific Black Ducks share both aquatic and grassland habitat in City’s Botanic Garden for their activities. Federal Pigeons’ behaviour was not observed by any groups due to reduce numbers in the Garden. Thus, discussion on Federal Pigeons
