| Abstract: In 1953, Skinner argued that those practicing behavior analysis have the opportunity, and beyond that, an obligation to save the world. To work to save the world and those who inhabit it, dissemination of behavior analysis to novel sectors is a must. To initiate change, individual action is needed; however, system changes are imperative for a large-scale impact. A system is a set of elements or individuals working together as an interdependent and interconnected entity like a family, department, institution, or country. Throughout history, there have been systems of oppression at various levels based on characteristics like race, ethnicity, religion, gender, and sexual orientation, which have resulted in unfair, unjust, and illegal treatment of humans. Behavior analysts can disseminate into scopes relating to public policy and utilize the science to dissect system components through a scientific methodology, identify individual influences, tact societal influences, and advocate for the shared ethical responsibility to humanity. |
