b. the power of the past influences the present and free will is inconsequential to our lives.
c. people are capable of displaying better behavior than prejudice, hatred, and aggression.

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: In 1941, Maslow witnessed a parade shortly after Japan's surprise attack on the American naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, precipitating U.S. involvement in World War II. The experience changed his thinking and he resolved to devote himself to developing a psychology that would deal with the highest human ideals. He would work to improve the human personality and to demonstrate that people are capable of displaying better behavior than prejudice, hatred, and aggression.
