The Baby Lab

They are asking the question weather babies can be good or bad. Babies are seen as innocent stupid creatures. Some people think that we have to teach our children how to behave well. The study at Yale shows that babies are born with a sense of good vs. bad. The babies were shown a study where they saw a puppet in trouble and one helped the puppet and they other didn't, they had to choose which one they liked the most. Most of them picked the one that helped the other character. They then picked cheerios of gram crackers, then a puppet picked one and then the baby had to choose which one he/she liked best. They always choose the one that picked the same food, and when that same puppet was mean to another puppet they choose the puppet that was helping the other puppet as being bad just because the puppet din't like the same food. The next study was in children a little older around the age of 8. They found that at that age they begin to develop a sense of sharing giving sometimes more chips to others that they receive themselves.
 In the next video a group of people were determining how children view race. They found that 70% of White  children saw a situation as bad while only 38% of the African-Americans saw it as bad. This shows us that they are preparing their children for the world at a young age. While the other parents are not doing anything about it and that's most of the problem.
