Character Determinism: A Contemporary Perspective in The Multicultural Society as An Antidote in Coping Mechanism

Character determinism is a concept defined by a society towards an individual in an environment where he discharges his duties. Outcomes are often detrimental and occasionally pleasant and this happens when an individual in question is determined to make things happen for an entity in a positive direction. The analogy is that character determination in a negative phenomenon is rooted in jealousy and hate by individuals who place personal interests over the interests of an institution for fear that their agenda would not be realized. At times, the individual in question may not realise right from the word go that something sinister is occurring but with intuition it surfaces often too late to be reversed. The paper seeks to create awareness among those who might find themselves as culprits to make informed choices before things get worse. To the communities perpetrating character determination in a more unpleasant way, the paper is a recipe for thinking otherwise. A multifaceted literature review combined by hands on experience by the researcher was reviewed using qualitative methods. Character determinism is real and occurs in both public and private institutions including faith-based ones. This is one of the factors that hinder development to take its course and if left unchecked the outcome may result into loss of potential man power, stagnation, frustrations and consequently loss of innocent lives. The study concludes that in the event that one finds themselves in the situation that character determination is negatively directed at them, never, ever impose on people who do not want them so taking leave is but a desired option.
