A104: The Dynamics of Human Behavior

This course outlines the fundamental nature of human interactions as value-for-value transactions, and how these behaviors drive the cultural imperatives and social rules governing our daily lives. Ultimately, these behaviors are responsible for both the advancement of society, as well as its distortions and negative effects. The units tie together human cognition, dialog, decision-making, action, & interaction (CDAI). It finally links these behaviors to a process of "otherization", which is where dysfunction and the potential for violence begin.
