• CZHN 5/05893 Essay : The social and moral implications of behavior modification techiniques (hypnosis, drug therapies, genetic engineering, etc.) are explored with respect to the notion of "value free science." 1978/1028
  Behavior modification is a normal and inescapable effect of living in a society. The process of socialization involves social control through the application of positive and negative sanctions in the hopes of inducing an individual to engage in behavior expected and supported by societal norms. While socialization works for the "good" of the individual and the "good" of the society, advances in the "science" of behavior modification have raised moral and philosophical questions. The use of behavior modification can often become the abuse of behavior modification. Behavior modification can benefit both the individual and society when used to enhance the rationality and responsibility of the recepient. Behavior modification is just one area where scientists must be wary of the concept of "value free science." Without imposing some value system as to the application of scientific knowledge and techniques, science can become the slave to any cause. But whose values? Central to the great world religions is the value of "respect for life." Respect for life must be used in place of "value free science."

• CZHN 5/05880 Commentary : Gordon Zahn 1979
  Zahn's commentary on Richard L. Rubenstein's paper "Anticipations of the Holocaust in the Political Sociology of Max Weber" ~ Zahn is pleased that several points which caused him greatest difficulty when the paper was first presented have been eliminated by Rubenstein. The largest remaining problem is Rubenstein's use of the term "anticipations." He never makes it clear what exactly he means by "anticipations," and equally vague are the conclusions, if any, Rubenstein wants us to draw from the "anticipations." Anticipations can have three meanings. The first would be referring to order of appearance in a time sequence. Also there is the "anticipation" in which there is foreshadowing of what is yet to come. Lastly, there is anticipation in which a causal link, thought not necessarily intention can be established. Rubenstein cites Weber's work in bureaucracy, his "pariah" concept and his leadership hierarchy as "anticipations" for the Nazi dictatorship and Holocaust. However Rubenstein never demonstrates why Weber was singled out, and not Eugene Sue, Frederick the Great or Darwin. Overall, Zahn sees Rubenstein's work as impressive, but empty.
