Are Babies Born Moral?

After watching the videos “Can Babies Tell Right from Wrong?” and “Born good? Babies help unlock the origins of morality” decide whether or not you believe that 3-month-old infants are moral? If you believe so, then discuss whether you believe it is the moral understanding that older children and adults might have or is it something different?

Grading Rubric for this Assignment: In addition to using the general grading rubric for this assignment, I will also look for the following guidelines when grading:
1. Does the answer contain information that properly supports the argument and can be found in either of the videos?
2. Was supporting evidence correctly explained?
5. Does your answer spend too much time on “describing” the events in detail and not focusing on examples of the behavior that relate directly to the questions? Remember that this assignment asks you to integrate examples of the behavior that you saw and does not ask for a transcript of either the video. In fact, when you are writing this it is important to note that the reader, me, fully understands the arguments being presented and how the experiments were run.
