Abstract

The present project aims to discuss about the implications of adopting the culture survival as the main objective of the actions of the analysts of behavior. It is demonstrated that perhaps that criterium is not sufficient as ethical guidelines proposed by B. F. Skinner. In addition, it is proposed other criteria that perhaps are so important as the culture survival for the actions of the analysts of behavior. (AU)
