I do believe in the rationality, perfectibility, and mutability premises to an extent. The rationality premise talks about a persons ability to make critical decisions by analyzing data and facts and although this can be true, I do not believe that it is always the case. A good example of this would be in a courtroom and with a jury. Even though there are a lot of preliminary efforts to weed out any bias or overdramatic jurors, there are still instances when people get placed on juries and make decisions based on emotions and not facts. With the perfectibility premise I can agree that everyone is born with sin-we do not know right vs. wrong until we have interacted with the outside world and learn how to control our behavior. I also agree with the mutability premise when it states that our behaviors are shaped by our environment a.k.a our various cultures.
