according to Thomas Hobbes' Ethical Egoism, if we were to imagine ourselves living in a State of Nature, without government, then common standards of good, evil, and justice would be precarious, and always subject to defection by individuals who gave in to the passions for gain, pride, or revenge. As such, the common standard for good and evil would appear to be a social matter that could be secured only by an organized society that is complex enough to have a government formed by a Social Contract. Hobbes' views have enjoyed a long and lasting influence on the fields of philosophy, sociology, political science, and beyond (and are still commonly encountered within the theories of classically trained economists and political scientists today), but my question for you is simply, do you agree with Hobbes about all of this? In particular, do you find his metaphysical description of human beings living in the State of Nature ultimately convincing? Or might his characterization of human beings, as little more than selfish and competitive individuals concerned primarily with their own self-interest, tend in some way to distort a proper understanding of ourselves or fail to fully capture the actual experience of what it's really like to be a human being? If the latter should turn out to be true, then one implication of this would seem to be that, Hobbes' long revered and well respected portrayal of human beings as existing in a State of Nature (or as always just one step away from spiraling back into one, were it not for the saving graces of the Social Contract currently in place), is perhaps nothing more than a deeply-seated myth, passed down through the tradition, that perpetuates the apparent necessity and need for a Social Contract. If all this were true, then what explanation might you give for why such a myth has been able to take hold and persist for so long? And just whose interests might such a myth tacitly be serving in the end?

I found that sociobiologists suggest that this is nature’s way of successfully preserving the altruistic gene as this is a well adapted characteristic (Leak & Christopher, 1982). How can selfless behavior be deemed a strong adaptation if the species are more concerned with taking care of others over their own well being?

True or False Questions: Determine if true or false. If false why?

1) Premature efforts to treat problem behavior before determining its function can be inefficient, ineffective, and even harmful.

2) Research has found that functional analyses conducted in natural environments (e.g., classroom settings) often yield the same (or even clearer) results compared to those conducted in simulated settings.

3) Problem behavior can only be maintained by one function. Behaviors are not multi-functional.

4) Indirect functional assessment procedures are referred to as “indirect” because they do not involve direct observation of the behavior.

5) According to Skinner’s definition of ‘verbal behavior,’ body language is not verbal behavior.

6) This is a correct analysis of verbal behavior: It is raining outside (antecedent), child asks mom if she can wear her rainboots (verbal behavior), mom says “yes” (access to tangible).

7) For reading to be called textual behavior, the reader must understand what he is reading.

8) Token economies should only be used for early learners because it is not age-appropriate for older clients to earn tokens.

9) Self-management skills should only be taught to adolescent or older clients; young children do not yet comprehend methods of self-management.

10) Scenario: After Eva learns to read 10 C-V-C (consonant-vowel-consonant) words such as CAT, RUG, BAR, she can read different C-V-C words for which she had not received any instruction. This exemplifies generalization.

11) Generalized behavior change is always desirable.

12) It is okay to teach skills that will not meet naturally existing contingencies of reinforcement if the skill is identified as a deficit.

13) Learners only need to be taught when to engage in a skill, not when not to engage in a skill; It is not useful to provide “don’t do it” instruction.

14) Generalization probes should be conducted before, during, and after instruction.
