Which empirical human motivations are most important to the success of central liberal institutions and practices?

Moral theory can narrow disagreement on what is morally right. However, merely to agree about what is morally right does not necessarily motivate an individual, or individuals in a group, to do what is morally right. Locke’s social contract theory, Rawls’ theory of justice, and practices such as free speech and toleration are constructed both from moral judgments and empirical claims about human motivations.

We also examined empirical theories or claims about human motivation: Turiel, citizenship culture in Bogotá, homo economicus, Bowles and Gintis on behavioral experiments, Haidt’s foundations, perhaps Bandura or Pinker, and others.

Which empirical human motivations (positive reciprocity and others) are most important to the success of central liberal institutions and practices (for example, limited government, free speech, toleration) and how might common motivations support or undermine the institutions and practices? Don’t recite every motivation and every institution; rather, select a few important relationships to explicate.

Please use at least 3 reading sources that I will provide and 3 at least 3 sources from lecture slides. It should be 9pgs MLA format.
