Do external restraints fail to ensure good human behaviour?

Do external restraints fail to ensure good human behaviour? justify your arguments by Why and How.

Although its open for every one, but philosophers, sociologists and psychologists are warmly welcomed to discuss this issue.

Could u plz explain a little bit "external restraints"

[Arbab.Danish]

As the above statement is not mine, therefore I too can not tell with surety, but by these words what comes to my mind is factors outside human nature, especially social factors.
I guess this question and the question " If human beings are created good in nature then why do some or most behave deviantly from their original nature?" are the same. Now after declaring "nature wise" every one being good, the only reason for unwanted behaviour can be accounted to to outside one self. And that is what is meant by the question.

This is on what lines I would be thinking to answer the question.

do external restraints fail to ensure good human behaviour?
good humanbeing can be the one with good character,nature,qualities and behaviour etc.envoirnment and the atmosphere has a direct reelationship with the human behaviour.lets take a very simple example if a person is sitting in a clean ,peaceful envoirment with decent people he/she will feel good and relaxed.on the other hand if he/she are among indecent people surrounded by dirty ,noisey and irritating envoirnment. there will be a significant difference in the behaviour of the same person in these two envoirnments. when a person lives in an envoirment that dont suit him/her gradual behavioural changes take place.either in the form of aggresiveness,shouting,rudness etc. or some kind of other abnormal behaviour.

brougth up is another important factor in human nature.
being a child we r taught some rules like do's and dont's.
this ultimately is linked to the child's parents list of do's and dont's.
now the content of these lists vary from person to person in the same society.

@Tayyaba

I totally agree with your answer, But when we are talking about human behaviour it means the whole in sum we should not divide it into pieces and say for some one's its good whose company, environment is good and for other its bad. or in other words for some external restraints are good and for some external restraints fail to ensure good behvior.
What I mean to say we have to observe it wholly and give our judgement that on the whole or to greater extent, have the external restraints contributed to good human behaviour or they have failed to ensure.

There are several theories of DAVIANT BEHAVIOUR in human beings in psychology and in social psychology. Some place emphases on internal factors(body chemistry) while some other believe in external factors (socialization)
A third school of thought believe in the combination of two.
You must have known the effects of bad company on a young man and the effects of heriditry factors as it is said in punjabi " sap da putar sap he honda hai" so we should keep in eye both the point of views while studying the factors resposible for the deviant behaviour in society.

@sociologist.

Correct. But the question remains unanswered. You are telling the reasons of deviation. but I wanted to know the the effect of external factors whether in construction or destruction of original human nature (which almost every one agrees is good, "fitrat e salima". And as Tayyaba mentioned this varies from person to person and from company to company. But The question is in whole, simply whether as a whole external factors contributed towards good behavior or to bad behaviour.

[Sociologist PU]

It can swing both ways, depending upon the socialization of an individual.

Okay.
This was the question in the discussion section of Bertrand Russel's Essay on Machines and the Emotions . Of course he is not the final authority and many theories may disagree to his point of view. but at the same time his thoughts do have some weight.
The essay does not discuss this point in all but its a parts of the essay.
