Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
FEEDBACK: Maslow argued that human nature is basically good, decent, and kind, but he did not deny the existence of evil. He believed some people were evil beyond reclamation and wrote in his journal that nothing will work ultimately with them but shooting.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: T
FEEDBACK: Maslow states if children are overprotected and not permitted to try new behaviors, explore new ideas, or practice new skills, then they are likely to be inhibited as adults, unable to express themselves fully in activities vital to self-actualization. Inadequate education and improper child-rearing practices can thwart the drive for self-actualization in adulthood.
