environmental determinism  

Definition(s)

  • Environmental determinism is the doctrine that individual human actions, beliefs, and values are controlled or determined by the ambient environment. Accordingly, when applied to aggregates, as the doctrine normally is, societies, cultures, and civilizations are also held to be the product of their environments.
