Behaviorism originated in the field of psychology, but it has had a much wider influence. Its concepts and methods are used in education, and many education courses at college are based on the same assumptions about man as behaviorism. Behaviorism has infiltrated sociology, in the form of sociobiology, the belief that moral values are rooted in biology. Behaviorism is naturalistic. This means that the material world is the ultimate reality, and everything can be explained in terms of natural laws.
Man has no soul and no mind, only a brain that responds to external stimuli.
Behaviorism teaches that man is nothing more than a machine that responds to conditioning. Our behavior is the product of our conditioning. Consistently, behaviorism teaches that we are not responsible for our actions. If we are mere machines, without minds or souls, reacting to stimuli and operating on our environment to attain certain ends, then anything we do is inevitable. Garbage in, garbage out.
