Aft er reviewing several peer-reviewed art icles and researching, t here are variet ies of
means of approaching quest ions of behavior t hat have been developed by human
beings. These means t end t o address social behaviors of human beings, and t hey
include laws, morals, et hics, and religious beliefs. Laws are syst ems of rules of
conduct t hat are est ablished by t he government t hat guides t he behavior of humans
in accordance wit h t he societ y, values, est ablished legal obligat ions and right s of
which mandat ory abidance is provided when it is required by t he coercive force of t he
government . Morals represent s beliefs about t he good and bad, just and unjust , right
and wrong t hat include t heories, principles, rules, values, and judgment s. Et hics are
moral principles t hat govern behavior of an individual and are based on ideas of what is
morally bad and good. While, religion is t he belief in t he exist ence of superior beings
exercising power over humans by volit ion imposing rules of conduct wit h fut ure
punishment s and rewards. The purpose of t his paper is t o cont rast t he four ext ernal
forces t hat st rongly influence t he behavior of humans and t o explain how t hey
influence individuals’ behavior. These forces include: et hics, morals, laws, and religious
beliefs. Current research and reviews of lit erat ure suggest s t hat t here are similarit ies
and differences bet ween et hics, morals, laws, and religious beliefs which influence t he
behavior of human beings. The purpose of t his paper is t o cont rast t he four ext ernal
forces t hat st rongly influence t he behavior of humans and t o explain how t hey
influence individuals’ behavior. These forces include: et hics, morals, laws, and religious
beliefs.
Current research and reviews of lit erat ure suggest s t hat t he et hics, morals, laws, and
religious beliefs are closely relat ed, but t hey are also different in various aspect s, and
t hey influence t he behavior of human beings.
Laws, morals, et hics, and religious beliefs all have similarit ies and t hings in common.
The first similarit y bet ween t he et hics, law, morals, and religious beliefs is t heir role of
at t empt ing t o make human beings behave in part icular ways. These forces provide
formal guidance t o human beings in how t o carry out t heir affairs. Laws are
government ’s polit ical t ools and t end t o be fairly rigid. The religious beliefs can st em
from t he exist ing doct rines or personal revelat ions, and t hey provide st rict rules t hat
guide t he behavior of humans. Et hics are approaches used t o arrive at morals, while
morals are t he decisions of just and unjust , right and wrong, good and evil. All t hese
forces provide rules for t he behavior of human beings. Hence, t he similarit ies of all t he
four ext ernal forces are in t heir role of providing rules for human beings t o follow as
part s of t heir inst it ut ions.
Our beliefs as humans are affect ed by t hese four ext ernal forces which defines who
we are and what we believe. These forces are syst ems which maint ain a set of moral
values and prevent humans from violat ing t hose values. They all provide humans wit h
guidelines of what t hey can do or t hey cannot do in some sit uat ions. All t he four
ext ernal forces cont ribut e t o what people t hink is morally good or bad. For inst ance,
religion may creat e a barrier t o what ext ent an individual can do somet hing; some
religious set guidelines and rules limit s what humans do. In t he same way, laws, morals
and et hics cont ribut es t o t he decisions made by humans. They aim at making humans
benefit from being members of a societ y t hat is well-regulat ed.

There are differences bet ween t he four ext ernal forces t hat affect t he behavior of
humans. The first difference comes in line wit h t he official power t o make judgment s
and decisions. Researchers argue t hat religion, morals, and et hics have jurisdict ion
over t he privat e life of an individual, while laws have no jurisdict ions over t he privat e
life of a person. For inst ance, t he law cannot dict at e t o an alcoholic on what t o do wit h
his/her life, t he individual can cont inue drinking alcohol t he way he/she want s. However,
t he alcoholic can be excluded from t he embrace of t he societ y and et hical police.
Besides, t he religious convict ions are based on t he commands of a perceived
superpower. On t he ot her hand, et hics and morals are linked t o overarching societ al
guidelines. While laws are based on t he rules and regulat ions laid down by t he
government as a way of cont rolling t he behavior of people. For example, in t he Unit ed
St at es, it is normal for individuals t o eat fried pig. However, for a Muslims eat ing a pig
is breaking fait h as it is against t heir religion.
Moreover, in a west ern syst em of governance, t he difference bet ween t he four
ext ernal forces is t hat laws are enforced by t he st at e. For example, religious people
usually believe t hat drinking alcohol is a sin; however, an individual can quiet ly sit at
home and t ake alcohol wit hout t he police officers int erfering wit h his business. Some
people will respond t o his drinking as immoral and unreligious, but t he government
cannot legislat e moralit y. The law wait s unt il t he t ime t he drunker t hreat ens t he
safet y of t he public. The alcoholic is free from prosecut ion under t he law unless
he/she dest roys ot her people’s propert ies.
Furt hermore, morals and et hics comes from t he humans awareness of what is right
and wrong , while laws and religions are writ t en and approved by t he government s and
t he people guided by superpower respect ively. Et hics and morals as well as religions
are likely t o vary from individuals as different persons may have opinions and beliefs
concerning cert ain issues, but laws clearly describe what is illegal no mat t er how
people argue.
Religious beliefs limit s freedom as t hey cont rols people’s act ions wit h a set of
guidelines and rules, rest rict ing t he capabilit y of fait hful followers. These rules and
guidelines can be perceived negat ively or posit ively, but t hey cert ainly have t he
power t o make some human beings t o set course in a part icular pat h. For example,
Muslims are commanded not t o eat pork or drink alcohol; t his prevent s t hem from
associat ing wit h alcohol and pigs.
Laws, religious beliefs, morals and et hics impact s behavior of human beings in every
aspect of t heir lives by having t o live by t hose rules, morals and codes. For example it
is implant ed in people’s brain t hat religion is how t hey t hink, how t hey choose, and
how t hey act . Human beings seek God’s guidance whenever t hey are in t roubles t hat
exceed t heir capabilit ies. Religions influence t he behavior of people by at t empt ing t o
influence humans’ lives t o believe t hey hold no significant personal power.
Et hics and morals influence t he behavior of human beings by helping t hem t o make
informed judgment s and decisions and affect t he way people relat e t o each ot her.
Normally, people make judgment s and decisions based on various fact ors, which
include t heir own morals, religion beliefs, and et hics. For inst ance, when an individual
believes t hat it ’s an unet hical t o achieve success in a part icular way, t he person is
likely t o avoid using t hat way of solving t hings. Et hics and moral values ensure t hat
individuals provide t he best services t o t heir client s while ensuring t hat t he
organizat ion cult ivat es account abilit y cult ure.
Religious beliefs, laws, et hics and moral values influences t he behavior of humans by
providing a set of pot ent ial consequences for t heir act ions t hat individuals consider in
deciding how t o behave in cert ain sit uat ions. They influence humans’ psychology by
providing cert ain ideas of wrong and right , about what is required for an individual t o
be considered guilt y of a crime, and about how t he punishment needs t o be met ed
out . This affect s how people make judgment s and decisions in cert ain sit uat ions.
Laws are t he cult ural forces t hat have a vit al social funct ion of cont rolling, conduct ing
and imposing t he pat t erns of people’s behavior. The laws regulat es human behaviors

in t he societ y by breaking it self int o legal rules and legal aut horit y, coercive feat ures
of law and moral aspect s of law. It regulat es people’s behavior in t he societ y by
oscillat ing t he principles of punishment and reward where applicable. For inst ance,
when from a cert ain conduct , t he benefit s are more t han t he demerit s t o a person,
t hat person is likely t o opt for compliance in order t o enjoy t he benefit s of compliance
wit h t he law. Therefore, laws play a role of shaping t he posit ive behavior in t he
societ y.
In conclusion, laws, et hics, morals and religious beliefs are closely relat ed since t he
est ablishment of laws is done wit h t he help of t he religious beliefs, et hics and moral
values; however, t he four ext ernal forces are also different from various aspect s. The
morals and et hics comes from t he humans awareness of what is right and wrong ,
while laws and religions are writ t en and approved by t he government s and t he
superpower respect ively. The combinat ion of t he laws, et hics, morals and religious
beliefs t end t o define how human beings need t o behave in t he societ y.
