L'agressivité humaine est-elle innée ou prend-elle sa source dans l'éducation? Des interviews avec des chercheurs de différents domaines (dont un Prix Nobel) font la lumière sur cette question. Avec des images étonnantes d'enfants donnant libre cours à leurs impulsions violentes, ce documentaire fascinant examine la complexité des facteurs qui contribuent à la socialisation des comportements agressifs chez les humains.

Warnings: violence (theft at gunpoint), live human birth

There is a lot of content in this film, so it may be helpful to break it up into parts and allow for discussion/written activity.

List factors that can contribute to aggressive behaviour in children. In particular, what role does the prefrontal cortex play in regulating behaviour? Discuss or write about the pros and cons of play fighting. Explain why the film concludes that early intervention with aggressive behaviour is critical. As an extension, explore recent research into this area of child development. Begin by exploring the work of researchers listed in the film. Create a list of facts to convince schools, parents and daycare centres to address aggressive behaviour at an early age.
