In
the bounty land of Argentina, the longtime couple gave birth to their only son
and they named him Luis. Luis’ parents were so conservative and strictly
observed the demands of traditions; they therefore raised their son in a
strictly godly environment by sending him to the Catholic school where he was
raised with nuns until his 12th grade. Mr. Luis Perez being very
hard working was able to acquire wealth as he continued working with his father
and this made his father to be so proud of him. As he came off age, Luis
married Maria whom he had dated since childhood and they soon had eight healthy
children which comprised of one boy and seven girls. Mr. Luis being highly
ambitious in his quest for financial freedom wanted a better life for his
children where they could live happily in an a free neighborhood and therefore
he led the family in relocating the United States of America where he believed
there were more opportunities and the entire family could live happily in the
rural lands of western America while growing grapes. The large family of Mr.
Perez lived happily in their new land until when tragedy befell them, Luis’s
father died, he fell sick while his eldest son struggled to accept the fact
that he was gay and the his wife Maria gave birth a lone when the husband was
hospitalized.
According to Gale
Genetics Encyclopedia (2003), behavior refers to the act in which
living things respond to their environment and they further state that it’s an
adaptation technique meat to ensure survival. Some factors that influenced Mr.
Luis was the fact that he was the only surviving child in the family and
therefore he had a lot of responsibilities to take care of his parents at old
age hence he had to work harder to ensure that he lived up to the expectations
of his father. The second influence in his behavior was the fact that his
family was large and he was the only bread winner. This called for long hours
of work and closes observation of each and every move of the family in to
ensure that everything works out smoothly. In this capacity Mr. Luis perceived
the idea of migrating to the United States of America in order to venture into
business where he could serve two masters at a time that is to make profits
through cultivation and to nature his eldest son in a business environment. The
final event that changed the life of Luis was the death of his father that made
him work tirelessly to pay the bills accruing due to death and burial
ceremonies.
As time went, the youthful life of
Mr. Luis also fade, the mighty and unusually strong gentle man who worked tirelessly
in the fields trying to earn a living and make ends meet began to tire. In his
early adulthood, he is able to work harder and provide enough for the larger
family and send his children to school but things are bound to change because
with the old age comes factors that are unusual and Mr. Luis is diagnosed with
sclerosis: a condition in the nerve system which causes abnormal hardening of
body tissues according to gale genetics encyclopedia (2003). Mr. Luis therefore
is rendered useless and cannot fend for himself but he has to rely on his son
Rolando who is already feeling the enormous weight of becoming a young adult.
The eco-map which was initially centered on Mr. Luis has to change because he has
passed the family business to his son Rolando.
Some events that played a major role
in shaping and transforming the behavior of Mr. Luis are positive and are bound
to occur to any hardworking adult and If I was privileged work Mr. Luis, my
behavior would have changed the same way in order to capture the increasing
responsibility however the changes in behavior due to traditional rigidities
should not be encouraged since it retards development attempts as it deprives
the young Rolando a chance to continue with college education, just as the
vision of national organization for human services states (2009), individuals
and communities are transformed through human services and environmental
factors.
In summary, the eco-map about Mr.
Luis encompasses a lot and has the impact of discouraging laziness which Mr.
Luis does not entertain in addition; I also learn the idea critically analyzing
a situation before drawing a conclusion that may affect my life negatively like
the case of Luis who ended up in hospital. Lastly, it’s also important to note
that behavior changes due to environmental factors can be reduced by ensuring
that discipline levels are maintained and accepting the fact that east or west
home is best, this phrase proves to be true because when Mr. Luis was in his
home in Argentina he was at peace with himself and he was only disrupted when
he migrated to the united states of America.
