Determinism

Explanation:

           Determinism is defined as the philosophical belief that says all the events are determined completely by some previously existing causes. In other words, it is the idea which states that behavior is the reflection of some factors which are beyond the control of any person.

           People's behavior are the result of environmental factors or genetic that once they occurs are difficult to change. It is the consequence of previous causes.
