Democracy & Ethnic Studies Live 3 Culture & Child Development.m4v

Humans have the largest brain size compared to body size of any animal. We have the longest childhoods of any animal because there ' s a limit to how big of a head a woman can give birth to. For our species more of our brain development happens after we ' re born than for any other species. That means our childhood experiences are not only things we learn from, they ' re also part of our brain development. That ' s why adults usually feel that the things they learned as children are supposed to be more profoundly true than things they learned as adults. That ' s why it ' s so easy for people who aren ' t exposed to other cultures as children to believe their own culture is supposed to be the right one. www.newbookforanewworld.org
