Rationality, Perfectiblity, Mutability

I do agree with the idea of the rationality, perfectibility, and mutability premise. I agree with perfectibility premise: that most people are capable of discovering the truth through logical analysis. The reason i agree with this is because i think that everyone has the capability to discover the truth for themselves. i think that by trial and error helps one discover many things and gives them a better understanding on things.


I however, do not agree with perfectibility premise: that humans are born in sin but are capable of achieving goodness through effort and control. I don't think that humans are born in sin, i believe people make bad judgment and do horrible things because of the type of lifestyle they grew up in, i think that the way one is raised when they are young has a big impact on the way people think and the choices that they make, good or bad.

I do agree with mutability premise: assumes that humans behavior is shaped by environmental factors and that the way to improve human behavior is shaped by environmental factors and that the way to improve humans is to improve their physical and psychological circumstances. I think that the way one behaves has a great deal to do with environmental factors and in order to shape this behavior is to improve their phyiscal and psychological circumstances. I think a big impact of the way we think and that actions that we choose have to do with our surroundings.


I think that some institutions and practices that are based on these beliefs are religion, and the justice system.
