[box]Not long ago, a team of researchers watched a 1-year-old boy take justice into his own hands. The boy had just seen a puppet show in which one puppet played with a ball while interacting with two other puppets. The center puppet would slide the ball to the puppet on the right, who would pass it back. And the center puppet would slide the ball to the puppet on the left . . . who would run away with it. Then the two puppets on the ends were brought down from the stage and set before the toddler. Each was placed next to a pile of treats. At this point, the toddler was asked to take a treat away from one puppet. Like most children in this situation, the boy took it from the pile of the “naughty†one. But this punishment wasn’t enough ��" he then leaned over and smacked the puppet in the head. [/box]
some how my Comment got lost, sent the post it so hopefully it gets added to here. I did read all 7 pages of it and it was pretty good, not that I really agreed with it all but.................
Yes I read all 7 pages and it was very good but I kinda disagree with it.
I know studies can't cover everything but there are two things that they didn't cover that they should have to prove their point. Babies copy a lot of things. For example (just with the niece) she learned keys go in the door and the car with out ever being told. She heard the word moon in one book and got another book with it in the tittle. I don't see her that often. But that makes. Before Babies figure out how to move they see everything and look at everything and I think copying things is part of learning things and it is true with words. So in other words some of this could be copying these ideas that people don't even know they are teaching
The second Part that I have trouble with this is that again babies learn a lot. They can also sense emotion like the paper said and I agree with that so if that is true that could also effect morals.
The Point I'm getting to is that I think by 6 months they very well could have been taught morals. I know it seems short but think about how long 6 months was when you where a kid not to mention a Baby.
What I wonder about myself is what about instincts. For example how does a baby know how to drink the 1st time? No one showed. So is that instinct that is wired with like wild animals. Or is it something learned when in the whom. Their are people who do think that what goes with the women the baby does go through that. That is why people play classical music and things like that. If that is true then that is even more time to learn morals and what is right or wrong.
In any event it is very interesting.
heh - nice
Ha ha!
