Answer:

b. rationalizing.

Explanation:

Scott's behavior and thoughts are examples of <em>rationalizing </em>in the face of cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance comes from conflicting beliefs and behaviors which produce mental discomfort. When Scott, who is diabetic, eats sugar he feels uncomfortable. He has to find a reason why eating sugar is healthier for him than saccharine. Finding a reasonable argument for doing what he really wants to do is rationalizing.

<em>Why do you think Denis Diderot said that an intolerant man is an evil man? Do you agree? Explain your answer. </em>

Yes, I agree. Because to be intolerant means not to listen to the other side and acknowldege their right to have a different opinion, this can lead to de-humanization of the opponent to the point of justifying any evil act towards him/her.
