Problem
a) What are the goals of psychology? Provide an example of each of the five perspectives and discuss their importance.
b) John Watson believed that differences in learning experiences were responsible for differences in behavior. Discuss evidence for and against his famous quote. Why might some people have a positive response to this quote and others have a negative response? "Give me a dozen healthy infants, well-formed, and my own specified world to bring them up in and I'll guarantee to take any one at random and train him to become any type of specialist I might select - doctor, lawyer, artist, merchant-chief and, yes, even beggar-man and thief, regardless of his talents, penchants, tendencies, abilities, vocations and the race of his ancestors."
