a few tid bits i learned this week...

Morality of young infant Babies

*babies aged 6 months have already developed a strong moral code, according to psychologists at Yale Uni.
They may barely able to sit up, let alone crawl or talk, but researchers say they can still tell the difference between good and evil.
An astonishing series of experiments is challenging the view that human beings are born as “blank slates” and that morality is shaped by our experiences.
They suggest that concepts of good and bad may be hard wired into the brain at birth.
In an experiment using puppets, 6 month old babies show a strong preference for “good” helpful characters and rejecting unhelpful “naughty” ones.
They react to anything that is not kind, so they would reject the naughty ones and know the nice ones.
The first 2 years. Kids born with moral compass. How long does it take for their moral compasss to be misplaced? What happens in the first 2 years is huge. When there is firm discipline, the moral compass can be reinforced. You need strong guidelines around them.

all of this information i find to be incredibly interesting to my presupposed ideas in this area and beneficial to know as well. life is valuable not matter what stage of life we are at.
