week 11 questions 2

Do you believe in the rationality, perfectibility, and mutability premises? What social institutions and practices are based on these beliefs?
I believe in the rationality (most people are capable of discovering the truth through logical analysis) and mutability (human behavior is environmental factors and that the way to improve humans is to improve their physical and psychological circumstances) premises. It has to do with the way we live here in America for the rationality premise, Larry Samovar, Richard Porter, and Nemi Jain argue that most Americas at heart, rational, the way out society works through systems such as democracy and free enterprise systems. AS with mutability if we live better lives and we make better physical appearances and our psychological circumstances then we are inclined to improve ourselves as humans. IT is like getting a new haircut or a all over makeover and then we realize we like ourselves better and like to maintain those compliments we get.
