Option 3: Humanism: Are We Good? Most psychological theories grow out of disagreement with an existing theory and stand in conflict with it.

For this conversation, engage in the following:

1) What was humanism in conflict with? What was it arguing against?

2) Describe the cultural or social forces that helped support the development of humanism.

3) Do the ideas of Maslow, Rogers, or Seligman best describe your experiences? Give examples.
