Now, we address the habits of babies.
You might have seen this experiment on TV where they put a one or two year old in front of a display that had a small teddy bear trying to open a box, and another "good" teddy bear comes along and helps it.
Then the scene was repeated and a "bad" teddy bear slammed the lid shut instead of helping the first bear.
So, here's the scene: We have one 'good' teddy bear and one 'bad' teddy bear, and they both offer to play with the kid..........!
Naturally the kid always wants to play with the 'good' teddy bear. (But, this is where even little tiny kids seem to sell out!)
If both bears offer the kid a candy, the baby will always take it from the good bear. Even if the good bear only has one candy and the bad bear has TWO, the kid will still go to the good bear!
BUT!
If the good bear only has ONE candy and the bad bear has FIVE candies, all morality is thrown out the window and the kid goes for the bad bear!
Which shows that even among very young kids, ethical behavior has a price!
