Not the best written article, but interesting nonetheless.
quote:
Paul Bloom, author of "Just Babies: The Origins of Good and Evil" and a professor of psychology at Yale, says these studies show that even before babies can speak or walk, they judge good and bad in the actions of others because they are born with a rudimentary sense of justice.

Baby Decisions
I notice, though, that the mean bunny wins when lots of crackers are presented. I think that the babies forgot about the presenters(bunnies) and focused on the crackers.

Go Babies!
Paul Bloom from the article writes:
...(babies) judge good and bad in the actions of others because they are born with a rudimentary sense of justice.
I would say they are born with a rudimentary ability to empathize. Which they then utilize immediately to form a rudimentary sense of justice.
But that's just me splittin' hairs
Edited by Stile, : Sometimes I just like to see my name in lights! Lights created by lasers that can cut through metal... that would be cool.
