  • Evolution and Moral Ecology
    Evolution and Moral Ecology Timothy Dean A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities and Languages Department of Philosophy University of New South Wales September 2014 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Dean First name: Timothy Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: School of Humanities and Languages Faculty: Philosophy Title: Evolution and Moral Ecology Abstract Moral diversity is often dismissed as being something to explain away en route to discovering the correct answers to moral questions, particularly by those who adopt a realist metaethical perspe ctive. In this thesis I argue that moral diversity is actually far more interesting than this perspective might suggest, and that understanding the causes and dynamics of moral diversity can tell us something about the nature of morality itself. I draw on the tools of evolutionary biology, game theory and moral psychology to give an account of the existence and variation of moral and norms, and how they change over time. I argue that morality can be seen as a kind of cultural technology, the function of whi ch is to help solve the problems of social living in order to facilitate prosocial and cooperative behaviour. However, the optimal solutions to the problems of social living depend on the state of the physical and social environments in which those solutio ns operate. As such, few, if any, norms or attitudes optimally satisfy the function of morality in every environment. Furthermore, the existence of other norms or attitudes within an environment effectively alters that environment such as to impact the suc cess of other norms and attitudes, introducing another element of dynamism to moral systems.

  • Games/Simulations About Environmental Issues Existing Tools and Underlying Concepts Markus Ulrich
    In: Gaming/Simulation for Policy Development and Organizational Change. Jac Geurts, Cisca Joldersma, Ellie Roelofs, eds. Proceedings of the 28th Annual International Conference of the International Simulation and Gaming Association (ISAGA), July 1997, Tilburg, The Netherlands, pp. 301-311. Games/Simulations About Environmental Issues Existing Tools and Underlying Concepts Markus Ulrich UCS Ulrich Creative Simulations, Zurich, Switzerland [email protected] www.ucs.ch 1. Introduction The method of simulation and gaming (Duke, 1974, Heitzmann, 1983, Gredler, 1992, Lane, 1995, Dolin and Susskind, 1992) is well suited for dealing with complex interrelated problems as characterised by Sterman (1990) or Dörner (1989). The method has a significant potential in the application to environmental problems and sustainable development. This paper gives a survey of simulation games on environmental issues and analyses their objectives, their underlying models and further characteristics (for a detailed description refer to Ulrich, 1998). The intention is twofold. First, to give a practical assistance to all those looking for simulation games on environmental issues, thus fostering their use in education, conflict resolution and related fields. Second, to contribute to a clearer understanding of design characteristics of simulation games and, in particular, of the types of models used as the core of simulation games. In Ulrich (1997a), three simulation games have been evaluated in respect to their underlying models. In this paper, we focus on the particular strength of different model types to specific learning objectives and scopes of simulation games. 2. Survey of existing simulation games on environmental issues The survey is based on the first 27 volumes of the journal Simulation & Gaming, on searches on the world wide web (WWW), and queries on two e-mail discussion lists (system dynamics list, GSPE-NL list).

    The Authoritarians Bob Altemeyer Associate Professor Department of Psychology University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Canada Copyright ©, 2006 by Bob Altemeyer Table of Contents Preface Acknowledgments Dedication Introduction Chapter 1 Who Are the Authoritarian Followers? Chapter 2 The Roots of Authoritarian Aggression, and Authoritarianism Itself Chapter 3 How Authoritarian Followers Think Chapter 4 Authoritarian Followers and Religious Fundamentalism Chapter 5 Authoritarian Leaders Chapter 6 Authoritarianism and Politics Chapter 7 What=s To Be Done? Preface I realize that my making this book available for free on the internet raises questions about my judgment, especially since I am a psychologist. The well-known theory of cognitive dissonance says that people will value something more if they pay a lot of money to get it. So how much will people value what they get for free? Also, if somebody can make money off a book, how much common sense can he have if he gives it away? Why should you read a book written by someone who has so little common sense? There=s a lot of convincing evidence that dissonance theory is right, and so I am running the risk of your saying, AIt can=t be any good if it=s free.@ But there is another psychological principle which says if people experience something that meets a need, it will be a rewarding experience. So even though this book is free, I hope that you will find it worth your reading, and that if you think it=s a good book, you will tell others about this web site so they can read it too.

    The Authoritarian SPecter BOB ALTEM E YER HARVARD UNIVERSITY PRESS Cambridge, Massachusetts London, England '1996 Previous Research 7 SITUATIONS VERSUS PERSONALITY Stanley Milgram's (1974t famous experiments on obedience provide a clear and highly relevant example. Men recruited through newspaper ads were ma- neuvered into being the Teacher in a supposed experiment on the effects of electric shock upon learning. Although the "Learner" (a Milgram confederate) never received any shocks, the situation was masterfully convincing. The Teachers had every reason to believe they were inflicting terrible pain on the Learner soon after the experiment began. By the end of the session, if the subjects did not stop it, they could easily have believed the next shock would kill the unconscious Learner, if he was not already dead. The point of the Previous Research-1 on Right-\fing experiment was to see when subjects would defy their local authority, the Experimenter, and shock no more.3 Authoritarianism Most people are shocked themselves when they learn that in Milgram's basic experiment, almost all of the Teachers threw switches thât would have inflicted great pain on the victim. And most of the men threw switches rep- resenting stronger and sfronger shocks until they ran out of switches at 450 volts.

  • Reality Enthusiast Anti-Theist for Social Justice. June 5, 2013 Bob Altemeyer's “The Authoritarians” the Game in October O
    Reality Enthusiast Anti-theist for social justice. June 5, 2013 Bob Altemeyer’s “The Authoritarians” The Game In October of 1994, University of Manitoba psychology professor Bob Altemeyer performed an experiment. After screening participants using a personality survey disguised as an opinion poll, he selected 68 highly authoritarian college students to play a political governance and resource management simulation called the Global Change Game. In this game, each player represents 100 million people in one of nine different regions of the world. Play consists of making decisions about how to deal with various social, economic, and environmental matters. Each player’s viability depends on three factors: food, health care, and employment. Lose access to one factor, and you earn a black armband. Earn three black armbands and all the people you represent die. A worldwide environmental crisis occurs at a randomly determined point during game play, testing the players’ ability to respond to a global emergency. The game also involves regional leaders, called “Elites”, who control their region’s bank account, which they can use to buy factories, hospitals, armies, and so on. They’re allowed to travel the world, to make deals with other Elites, and to declare war if they can gather enough support from their fellow region members. Success in war means increased territory and assets. Elites can also secretly funnel some of their region’s money into their own pockets. (Unbeknownst to the rest of the players, the Elites are simultaneously vying for the prize of World’s Richest Person.) The Global Change Game was originally designed to educate students about various challenges facing the modern world, including population growth, hunger, climate change, international relations, war, and resource distribution.
