The program below illustrates how within two days, a class of close-knit third-graders in Riceville, Iowa completely change when they are led to believe that they are either superior or inferior to other students in the class. It provides a wealth of insight into the causes and effects of prejudice, racism, and bigotry. Very interesting.

Watch the program and let us know you think...

I truly believe that nurture is much more motivating than nature.

Some of these social experiments have formed my belief.
