Very important quote that expresses the effects of a person’s natural and social environments 😊
Shared by Skinner’s Quote of the Day and Burrhus Frederic Skinner via FB
“Man is born free,” said Rousseau, “and is everywhere in chains,” but no one is less free than a newborn child, nor will he become free as he grows older. His only hope is that he will come under the control of a natural and social environment in which he will make the most of his genetic endowment and in doing so most successfully pursue happiness.” (p. 221)
