    “Disobedience as a Psychological and Moral Problem” On page 684 the author believes humans will destroy the earth 5-10 years from now & on page 685 the author believes that humans have a conscience.. my question is that if humans have a conscience do you really think that they will completely destroy the world in 5-10 years?

    “The Power of Situations” – Do you believe the way a person looks effects if anyone will help them?

    Disobedience as a Psychological and Moral Problem: Erich Fromm states, “Man has continued to evolve by acts of disobedience.” Do you agree/disagree and why?

    The Power of Situations: If you were put into this situation, would you try to help that person no matter what the circumstances were, or would just continue on to your meeting if it didn’t look to serious?
