i think i got ur point.in somecases the restraint has good effect on human behaviour but a person realise it in the long run.eg. parents restrain their childern from fazool kind of activities and strictly advice them to concentrate on their studies.or eg. they say put a restrain that "dont drive fastly".
in the long run these restrains have good effect on human behaviour.
but its human nature that if someone restrict me from doing something.that thing will attract me more than anything.
for example allah has imposed some restraints on us.now these limits are for the
betterment of humans and following these one can live a sucessful life.
naturally they have good effect on human behaviour.
in this sense restraints are for the better human behaviour.
otherwise there will be no difference between human and animals.
"there is a difference between a human being and a homosepian"(tayyaba)
may be i explained it in a right way.

Sociology Says "Every knowledge is situated and not absolute" I agree with this other than the wisdom and knowledge of Allah which is the source of all knowledge and is absolute.

your answer and knowledge like mine is situated too. It simply means you'll explain something according to what you have learned , what your perception is about the question or any theory. I mean too many factors influence it. The same I would say about "Sociologist Pu". Well I would say if you have time to read the essay, red it to understand what I mean or on what bases I was expecting other to think.

I'll try to write a short article on this question after tomorrow, especially to improve my presentation power and style of writing and arguments. Of course my writing or knowledge too is situated.

it always depends upon the force of the restrains which is being put to use. if the force of the external restrains are strong enough to over come human own well it will ensure the good behavior but if the power of the man's own mind or well is much stronger than external restrains than it is taken for granted that the external restrains will be of no use.
And coming to ur 2nd question. if u see muslims they do not take wine because they are restrain from external forces not to do so. Now some the muslims even make use of alcoholic drinks because their well their minds are dominating the external forces. these are my views about the mention question

@Ishrat Alam
Yes you are right from your point of view.
I wanted its discussion on human beings (on a whole, on society) and from what perspective I analyse it, I wrote that in the Essay, under same title.
well good to know that your date of birth is same as mine is.
