Answer to Question 1

Watson's quotation is a statement of behaviorist socialization theory. He is saying that, given a baby and the proper conditions, he could make that baby into whatever kind of person he (Watson) wished. He asserts that all individual behavior is learned, that it is a product of external forces acting on the individual.
