The Behavioral Theory and the Social Learning Theory are theories that suggest that individuals learn by observing how people react to their behavior.

Moral Reasoning. Second, I will explain Kant’s moral theory focus on the motives of a person’s actions, not the consequences. Kant's theory of judgment differs sharply from many other theories self-consciousness (the centrality thesis); second, Kant's insistence First, I will explain Kantian Moral Reasoning.

Ethical dilemma is common in all phases of life, and individuals have to find different ways to reach a decision the best way possible. The decision is normally based on the views and values an individual possesses. The ethical dilemma I chose is that of the married couple that was addicted to drugs which render them unfit to care for their infant daughter, resulting
Research has considered both deductive reasoning tasks and inductive reasoning tasks. The distinction between deductive and inductive reasoning is that whereas with deductive reasoning the conclusion is certain, with inductive reasoning the conclusion is highly probable but not necessarily true.

He believes this very principle is of vital important for us humans, this is simply because we are not a series of programmed machines that carry out tasks involuntary to ourselves; we are capable of making errors and false judgements down to relying upon our minds to help us with our actions and our decisions, thus it applies to us all.
