Psychological egoism
This document discusses psychological egoism and various philosophers' perspectives on human behavior and motivation. It summarizes the key points of psychological egoism as the view that all human actions are ultimately motivated by self-interest. It then outlines Thomas Hobbes' and Epicurus' views that behavior is motivated by seeking pleasure and avoiding pain. Finally, it presents James Rachels' arguments against psychological egoism, including that people sometimes act against their desires, unselfish acts are defined by their object which is helping others, and unselfish people derive satisfaction from helping others rather than themselves.
Topic 2. methods of philosophical reasoning
The document discusses 10 common logical fallacies:
1. Argumentum ad Baculum - appealing to force or threat of force.
2. Appeal to Vanity - using flattery to gain acceptance of an argument.
3. Argumentum ad Hominem - attacking the person making an argument.
4. Tu Quoque - accusing the opponent of the same faults discussed.
5. Ignoratio Elenchi - refuting a position not actually asserted.
6. Red Herring - introducing an irrelevant topic to divert attention.
7. Argumentum ad Crumenam - assuming an argument is valid due to wealth.
8. Argumentum ad Verecundiam - citing an irrelevant
Rogerian Argument
This document provides an overview of Rogerian argument. It explains that Rogerian argument was developed by psychologist Carl Rogers and emphasizes problem solving and consensus building. It allows the author to appear open-minded by recognizing valid points in opposing views. The document contrasts Rogerian argument with Toulmin argument, noting that Rogerian argument uses a nonconfrontational tone that respects different perspectives and seeks common ground, rather than trying to prove one side is completely right. It provides a visual model of each approach and offers tips for writing a Rogerian argument paper, such as stating each position, finding areas of understanding, and appealing to shared benefits of compromise.
Topic 2. methods of philosophical reasoning
This document discusses philosophical methods of reasoning and fallacies. It defines fallacies as flawed arguments. The document then provides examples of different types of fallacies, including fallacies of relevance, weak induction, presumption, ambiguity, and grammatical analogy. Specific fallacies discussed include appeal to force, pity, popularity, ignorance, and false analogy. The document encourages analyzing arguments to identify fallacious reasoning.

2. Appeal to Vanity - Using flattery to gain acceptance of an argument.
3. Argumentum ad Hominem - Attacking the person making an argument.
4. Tu Quoque - Accusing the opponent of the same fault being discussed.
5. Ignoratio Elenchi - Appearing to refute an argument while actually refuting something else.
6. Red Herring - Introducing an irrelevant topic to divert attention from the original issue.
Toulmin and Rogerian Arguments
The document discusses different argument structures including Toulmin and Rogerian schemes. It provides an overview of the key elements of a Toulmin argument including the claim, reason, warrant and proof. It then gives examples of how to apply Toulmin analysis to evaluate arguments on various topics. The document also summarizes the key aspects of a Rogerian argument which aims to find common ground rather than convince the opponent.
Rogerian argumentpp[1]
The document discusses three common approaches to argumentation - the Classical, Toulmin, and Rogerian approaches. It then focuses on explaining the key principles and structure of the Rogerian approach. The five key elements of a Rogerian argument are: 1) a brief, objective statement of the issue; 2) exploring common ground; 3) a complete description of the opposing position; 4) a complete description of your own position; 5) presenting a solution that considers both positions and finds compromise. The goal of the Rogerian approach is to have a less confrontational discussion through understanding different perspectives and finding common ground.

Paper
This document provides an overview of the history and key figures in social psychology. It discusses how social psychology emerged in the early 20th century and the contributions of psychologists like Floyd Allport, Elliot Aronson, Solomon Asch, and Stanley Milgram. Milgram's famous obedience experiments in the 1960s showed that many participants were willing to administer what they believed were painful electric shocks when instructed by an authority figure, contradicting expectations. The document also summarizes Aronson's work on topics like conformity, prejudice, aggression, and attraction.
09b minority influence & social change pp part 2b
This document outlines key aspects of minority influence, including consistency, commitment, and flexibility. It discusses research by Moscovici from 1969 that found a consistent minority was more influential than an inconsistent one. Real-life examples include Martin Luther King Jr.'s consistent views influencing the civil rights movement, and Rosa Parks' commitment sparking further action. The document also discusses how a flexible minority in Nemeth's 1986 study was more persuasive than an inflexible one.
Extrovert introvert ppt
This document discusses the differences between introverts and extroverts. It explains that introverts feel energized by solitary activities while extroverts feel energized by social interactions. However, it notes that some people can exhibit traits of both introversion and extroversion, describing themselves as "extroverted introverts." These individuals enjoy socializing but need alone time to recharge afterwards. The document provides tips to help determine if someone is an introvert or extrovert based on their social energy levels and preferences.
Ethical egoism
Ethical egoism holds that individuals should act in their own self-interest exclusively without moral duties to help others. The document discusses several arguments for and against this view. It presents objections that ethical egoism cannot resolve conflicts of interest and is arbitrarily biased toward the self. Alternately, recognizing our equal humanity and common needs provides reason to consider the interests of others, such as donating to relieve global famine. Overall the document critically examines arguments for and against ethical egoism as a moral theory.
Social 01 Types of Conformity
This document discusses types of conformity according to Kelman's (1958) three levels: compliance, identification, and internalization. It provides definitions and examples for each:
1) Compliance involves public behavior change but not private belief change, and is short-term. An example is eating meat privately while conforming to vegetarian friends.
2) Identification involves public and private belief changes that are short-term while in the presence of the group, like temporarily becoming Christian to please friends.
3) Internalization involves long-term public and private belief changes that continue without the group's presence, such as permanently adopting a friend's fashion views.
It also distinguishes between normative social influence (
Ethical egoism
This document provides an overview of the ethical theory of ethical egoism. It begins by explaining that ethical egoism is a normative theory that judges actions based on self-interest rather than altruism. It notes that ethical egoism focuses on long-term self-interest rather than short-term desires. The document then discusses Max Stirner's conception of ethical egoism, in which he argued that self-interest should be the root of all actions. Finally, the document outlines some of the challenges to ethical egoism, including that it could destroy a sense of community, lead to social injustices, and be seen as a form of bigotry by prioritizing some individuals over others.
6a
This document provides examples of logical fallacies discussed in Chapter 6 about fallacies of insufficient evidence. It analyzes arguments that commit the fallacies of appeal to ignorance and hasty generalization by failing to provide sufficient evidence to support their conclusions. Another argument uses a slippery slope fallacy in suggesting that watching cartoons will inevitably lead children to become toy-obsessed and out of control without proving the intermediate steps. The document demonstrates how to identify conclusions, analyze evidence used to support them, and determine if the reasoning commits a logical fallacy.
Emotivism[1]
This document provides background information on emotivism and discusses the key philosophers and ideas associated with this view. Emotivism is an ethical theory that claims moral judgments are non-cognitive expressions of attitude or preference. It is considered a noncognitivist view. The theory is also known as the "hurrah-boo" theory because moral judgments are seen as expressions of approval or disapproval rather than statements of fact. The document examines the views of philosophers like A.J. Ayer and C.L. Stevenson who were influential in developing emotivism and considers some common criticisms of the view.
Lesson 2 methods of philosophizing
This document discusses key concepts in philosophy, including truth, knowledge, propositions, and methods for determining what is true. It provides definitions and examples of facts, claims, opinions, beliefs, explanations, arguments, and logical fallacies. Common biases are also explained. The overall purpose is to guide the reader in distinguishing truth from opinion and analyzing statements using philosophical methods.
06 factors affecting obedience (part 2)
The document discusses Milgram's variations on his obedience experiments and explanations for obedience. It outlines six variations Milgram conducted that altered proximity, location, or uniform from the original experiment. These include having someone else administer shocks, giving instructions over the phone, changing the location, and making participants work in groups. The variations showed obedience levels from 10% to 92.5%, supporting situational explanations. Explanations for obedience discussed are agentic state, legitimacy of authority, proximity, location, and uniform.
10.second problem of hbt
This document discusses a second problem of HBT (Human Behavior Theory) regarding a person choosing a task and potentially facing external forces that interfere with or make that choice wrong.
It provides three examples of characters - Romeo, Oedipus, and Po from Kung Fu Panda - who choose a task they want but face social or symbolic powers that prevent their success or make their choice illegal/wrong.
The key problem of egology is how to be happy, which this document suggests has a simple solution of choosing a problem you can solve successfully while taking into account social and symbolic pressures that may require fighting or compromising with regarding task selection. This relates to choices around jobs, love, or family.
Haidt.postpartisan social-psychology
The document summarizes a talk given by Jonathan Haidt at the annual meeting of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology. Some key points:
- Social psychology lacks ideological diversity and tolerates few dissenting views, behaving as a "tribal moral community" rather than a reality-based field.
- Surveys found almost no openly conservative members in the field or attending the conference. This lack of diversity limits the questions asked and mechanisms studied.
- Haidt argues for greater openness to diverse perspectives to improve science and thinking in the field. The field's future could be brighter if it embraced more post-partisan diversity.

Ethics 2. egoism vs altruism
This document discusses the concepts of egoism and altruism from both a psychological and ethical perspective. Psychologically, egoism suggests humans only act in self-interest while altruism means acting for others. Ethically, ethical egoism means one should act selfishly while ethical altruism means one should act for others' sake. The document explores views from Ayn Rand, who argued for ethical egoism, and Joseph Butler, who critiqued ethical egoism. It asks whether people can act selflessly from a psychological perspective and whether we can create moral principles for egoism or altruism from an ethical perspective.
Ethical egoism
This document summarizes and discusses the ethical philosophy of ethical egoism. It begins by defining ethical egoism as the view that individuals should act in their own self-interest. It then outlines some key arguments for and against ethical egoism, such as the view that altruism is demeaning versus the criticism that ethical egoism cannot be universally applied. The document also examines issues like whether ethical egoists can have true friendships or be morally sensitive to others' suffering. Overall, it aims to provide a balanced introduction to the core ideas and debates surrounding the concept of ethical egoism.
Chapter 6
The document discusses different theories of egoism and altruism. It outlines psychological egoism, which holds that people always act in their own self-interest, and ethical egoism, which argues people should always act in their own interest. It also discusses arguments for and against ethical egoism, as well as theories about how altruism could evolve and be in one's long-term self-interest.
Separating Fact from Opinion
The document discusses the difference between facts and opinions. It provides examples of facts, which can be proven by reliable authorities like history books, scientific studies, or government records. Opinions are statements that cannot be proven, and are based on thoughts, feelings, or beliefs. While opinions may be informed by facts, they are not facts themselves. The document also outlines different types of opinions, such as hypotheses, theories, assumptions, values statements, and exaggerations.
Emotivism
Emotivism is a meta-ethical theory that believes objective moral laws do not exist and that moral terms express personal emotional attitudes rather than factual propositions. According to A.J. Ayer, the philosopher who developed emotivism, ethical statements are neither verifiable nor analytic, but are used to express approval or disapproval in order to influence others. Emotivism faces challenges as it does not allow for basic moral principles to be established, renders ethical debate pointless, and means there can be no universal agreement on what actions are right or wrong.
Extroversion introversion
This document discusses extroversion and introversion as dimensions of human personality. It defines extroversion as focusing energy on external stimuli like people and activities, while introversion focuses energy internally on ideas and concepts. Extroverts tend to be more social, active, and gain fulfillment from others, while introverts tend to be more quiet, prefer fewer close relationships, and gain fulfillment independently. The document also explores theories on how extroversion and introversion may impact second language acquisition and notes it is a continuum rather than an absolute distinction between people.
Learning to Think.pptx
The document discusses the importance of critical thinking and developing good critical thinking skills. It provides several benefits of critical thinking such as improved attention, ability to identify key points, skills in analysis, and an educated mind. It also discusses some obstacles to critical thinking like emotions, narrow-mindedness, and distrust. It provides tips for critical thinking, such as knowing your goals, dealing with biases, considering options and consequences, doing research, and not overcomplicating issues. The document encourages reflecting on one's own thinking and identifying problems and ways to improve thinking across different domains of life.

Famous Experiments in Social Psychology
This document summarizes several influential social psychology experiments:
1) The "halo effect" demonstrates that positive global evaluations of a person, like being likable, can influence judgments of their specific traits, like being intelligent.
2) Studies of cognitive dissonance show that people interpret information in ways that support their own views and rationalize immoral behaviors.
3) The Stanford prison experiment found that participants took on roles assigned to them as guards or prisoners, conforming to expected behaviors even when abusive.
4) Milgram's obedience experiments surprisingly showed that ordinary people will inflict harm on others when ordered by an authority figure, demonstrating the power of conformity.

Lecture 3.pptx
The document discusses the importance of critical thinking and developing good thinking skills. It aims to enable students to understand what thinking is, reflect on classes, develop the habit of learning through critical thinking, and understand why regular thinking and critically evaluating situations is important for becoming a leader. It defines thinking and covers concept formation, problem solving, learning, memory, and more. It explains that understanding human life involves understanding thinking, as thinking allows us to make sense of the world. Everything we know, believe, want, fear, and hope for is determined by our thinking.
Logical fallacies
This document discusses logical fallacies and how to identify them. It defines and provides examples of common fallacies such as hasty generalization, missing the point, post hoc, slippery slope, weak analogy, appeal to authority, ad populum, ad hominem, appeal to pity, appeal to ignorance, straw man, red herring, false dichotomy, begging the question, and equivocation. It encourages readers to ask questions to determine if an argument relies on one of these fallacious techniques rather than sound logic.
Stereotypes and prejudice
Cognitive schemas can result in stereotypes and contribute to prejudice.
Stereotypes Stereotypes are beliefs about people based on their membership in a particular group. Stereotypes can be positive, negative, or neutral. Stereotypes based on gender, ethnicity, or occupation are common in many societies.

Psycho final
Calvin Wong's social psychology journal entry discusses social loafing and Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory. For social loafing, Wong summarizes that individuals put in less effort working in groups compared to alone due to factors like low self-confidence, reliance on others, and not wanting to be surpassed. Maslow's hierarchy of needs outlines basic human needs from physiological to self-actualization, with the expanded version adding cognitive, aesthetic, and transcendence needs. Jean Piaget's cognitive development theory, which explains how children develop thinking abilities through experiences, is also briefly introduced.

Week 4: Fallacies, Biases, and Rhetoric
Just as it is important to find truth it is equally important to learn to avoid error. It is analogous to playing defense. The main way that we play defense in logic is by guarding against fallacies and biases. Fallacies are common forms of inference that are not good; they do not adequately support their conclusions. The best way to learn to avoid them is to learn to identify them so that you will see when they are occurring.
Since there are literally hundreds of fallacies, we will only have time to discuss a small few. However, we will focus on some of the most common, and readers can go on to learn more, both from our book as well as other online resources. Here is a brief summary of a few of the most important and most common (these are explained in much greater detail in the book, and there are many more fallacies addressed in the book, so make sure to reach Chapter 7 before doing the activities of the week).
This week's guidance will cover the following topics:
1. Begging the Question
2. The Straw Man Fallacy
3. The Ad Hominem Fallacy
4. The Appeal to Popular Opinion
5. The Appeal to Emotion
6. Other Fallacies
7. Cognitive Biases
8. Argumentative Devices
9. Things to Do This Week
Begging the Question
Possibly the most commonly committed fallacy is Begging the Question (by assuming a main point at issue). Here is a nice explanation:
Circular reasoning is an extreme version of begging the question in which a premise is identical to the conclusion.
Here are some examples of each:
1. Don’t listen to that candidate; he’s untrustworthy.
2. You shouldn’t bet on that horse; it’s going to lose.
3. Don’t buy a Mac since PCs are better.
4. Marijuana should not be legalized because that would be disastrous.
5. You should join my religion because it’s the true one.
6. That food is bad for you because it is unhealthy.How to Avoid Begging the Question
In order to avoid this fallacy it is necessary to use premises that do not assume the point at issue, but rather that are based in principles and observations upon which both parties could in principle agree.
Can you think of ways to fix each of the above arguments? What premises could you add to make the arguments, not only substantive, but also to support their conclusions in ways that are likely to be acceptable to someone who doesn’t already agree?An Example of Avoiding Begging the Question by Creating a Supporting Argument
Suppose you want to say why abortion is wrong, and you use the premise that abortion kills a human being. This argument simply assumes that a human fetus is a human being, which is a major point at issue. One way that you might seek to get out of this problem is to come up with a supporting argument for that premise. That is, you might construct a piece of reasoning intending to demonstrate to the other parties why a fetus should count as a human being.
To do this without begging the question will be difficult, but it typically will involve.

Week 4: Fallacies, Biases, and Rhetoric
Just as it is important to find truth it is equally important to learn to avoid error. It is analogous to playing defense. The main way that we play defense in logic is by guarding against fallacies and biases. Fallacies are common forms of inference that are not good; they do not adequately support their conclusions. The best way to learn to avoid them is to learn to identify them so that you will see when they are occurring.

Transaction analysis
Transactional Analysis (TA) is a psychological theory and method of psychotherapy developed by Eric Berne in the 1950s and 1960s. It views human behavior through the framework of ego states called the Parent, Adult, and Child. Key concepts in TA include strokes, transactions between ego states, and life positions. TA aims to help people have more flexible, aware communication through understanding ego states and game playing.

Research Paper On Conformity
This essay argues that total conformity in society is dangerous because it prevents individuality, eliminates family history, and hinders advancement. The world of Ayn Rand's novella Anthem is used as an example of a society with complete conformity, where citizens cannot think for themselves and everything is controlled by the government. The essay maintains that individuality, diversity of thought, and independent innovation are necessary for technological and social progress. Total conformity strips people of their rights and identities, leading to a stagnant world without new ideas or development.

Article 1:
Question:
Students are to observe two or more adults unknown to the observer. The student must not be able to hear the subjects being observed and those being observed must not be wearing a uniform of any kind as this would provide information about their occupation to the observer. Students must describe the environment and the people being observed, i.e., age, gender, dress, etc. Discuss the nonverbal communication, i.e. eye contact, body position and any other nonverbal behavior. Provide your interpretation of the relationship between those being observed. Be very discrete and do not have a conversation with those being observed.
Answer:
The correspondence in today's age is completely lost its way and there is no place for genuine connections. The connections have been supplanted with the mechanical existence where each correspondence is being done through electronic gadgets. There isn't much holding inside the kids and the guardians moreover. Gone are where individuals used to tend to each other which use.
Truth or myth 4
This document discusses stereotypes and labeling. It begins by explaining that people often make generalizations and comparisons based on their experiences, which can lead to stereotypes. Stereotypes are untrue assumptions about groups that overgeneralize their characteristics. While some generalizations may be necessary, stereotypes are dangerous as they can lead to wrongly judging individuals. The document advocates considering each person as an individual to avoid missing opportunities due to labels. It provides examples of common stereotypes and suggests reflecting more before judging people based on superficial attributes alone. Labeling can negatively impact people's self-perception and segregate society.
Theories of Personality
This document provides an overview of several personality theories, including those proposed by Alfred Adler, Carl Jung, Karen Horney, and others. It discusses key concepts from each theorist, such as Adler's ideas around birth order and compensation, Jung's archetypes and personality types, and Horney's notions of basic anxiety and different neurotic personality types. The document aims to define personality and explore how different theorists have sought to understand individual differences in thinking, feeling and behaving.
Effect Of The Halo Effect
The document discusses the halo effect and how it can impact perceptions and relationships. An experiment was conducted showing two videos of the same person - one upbeat and one negative - to see if first impressions influenced perceptions. Studies found that brief silent clips of professors were enough for students to form opinions of their abilities that matched end-of-semester evaluations. The halo effect causes people to ignore new facts that contradict initial judgments due to relying on "mental shortcuts." This cognitive bias can damage relationships by causing people to deceive themselves about others based on first impressions.

This journal entry discusses confirmation bias and how it can negatively impact decision making. Confirmation bias is the tendency to seek out and give more weight to information that confirms preexisting beliefs, and ignore or undermine contradictory information. The entry provides an example of how confirmation bias can cause investors to make poor decisions by only seeking out information that confirms their views on an investment and failing to consider different perspectives. Overcoming confirmation bias requires open-mindedly seeking out contradictory opinions to make better informed choices. The entry concludes that confirmation bias limits opportunities by focusing only on views that agree with preexisting opinions.

Fast Relief: Warm or Cold?
The student conducted an experiment to test whether warm or cold water would make an Alka-Seltzer tablet dissolve faster. They placed tablets in warm and cold water, starting a timer when added and stopping when fizzing stopped. The warm water dissolved the tablet on average in 22 seconds, while the cold water took an average of 1 minute and 52 seconds. The results supported the hypothesis that warm water causes faster dissolution.

Writing A Literary Analysis
To write a literary analysis, first carefully read the text to understand its themes, arguments, and narrative elements. Then develop a thesis about what you want to analyze in the text and how your interpretation adds new understanding. Finally, compose body paragraphs with evidence from the text to support your thesis in clear, well-organized prose.
Writing A Literary Analysis Essay Process Questions
This document outlines the process and questions to consider when writing a literary analysis in 3 steps or less:
1) Develop a thesis by questioning the subject and your interpretation of different elements like characters.
2) Gather evidence from notes and details from the story to support the thesis in body paragraphs.
3) Consider questions for drafting an introduction, body paragraphs with interpretations and evidence, and a conclusion that restates the most important idea.

The summary should have an introduction stating the author and topic in 1-2 sentences. The body should combine stages of thought and remind the reader the ideas are not the author's. It should use the author's name to attribute ideas and end by leaving the reader with a major idea or question. Quotations should be used word for word from the text while paraphrasing puts ideas in the writer's own words. A summary condenses the same ideas into shorter form using the writer's own words.
Summarization—unit 1
The document provides guidance on summarizing an article or essay in 3 sentences or less. It instructs the reader to break the document into stages of thought, write short summaries for each section, and determine the thesis statement.

Argumentative Essay
This document provides an outline for organizing an essay. It recommends placing the thesis statement in the body of the essay rather than the introduction to use inductive reasoning. The introduction should include an example, story, or quote to draw the reader in. Each body paragraph should present an idea supported by references to authors and include a counterargument or concession. A second body section repeats this structure to further develop the argument.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

The Electrocardiogram - Physiologic Principles
These lecture slides, by Dr Sidra Arshad, offer a quick overview of the physiological basis of a normal electrocardiogram.
Learning objectives:
1. Define an electrocardiogram (ECG) and electrocardiography
2. Describe how dipoles generated by the heart produce the waveforms of the ECG
3. Describe the components of a normal electrocardiogram of a typical bipolar lead (limb II)
4. Differentiate between intervals and segments
5. Enlist some common indications for obtaining an ECG
6. Describe the flow of current around the heart during the cardiac cycle
7. Discuss the placement and polarity of the leads of electrocardiograph
8. Describe the normal electrocardiograms recorded from the limb leads and explain the physiological basis of the different records that are obtained
9. Define mean electrical vector (axis) of the heart and give the normal range
10. Define the mean QRS vector
11. Describe the axes of leads (hexagonal reference system)
12. Comprehend the vectorial analysis of the normal ECG
13. Determine the mean electrical axis of the ventricular QRS and appreciate the mean axis deviation
14. Explain the concepts of current of injury, J point, and their significance
