What Compassion, Racism, and Sex tell us about Human Nature
Paul Bloom, Brooks and Suzanne Ragen Professor of Psychology, Yale University
Give Paul Bloom one hour, and he'll teach you "the psychology of
everything," illustrating some of the most fundamental elements of human
nature through case studies about compassion, racism, and sex. He
discusses some of the biggest questions
in the nature versus nurture debate, including "Are we hard-wired to
care about others?" Bloom points out why stereotyping can be both
detrimental and beneficial, and he even explains what the porn
preference of monkeys tells us about our own sexual choosiness, or lack
thereof. After the hour is up you'll understand why Bloom calls
psychology, because of its cross-disciplinary nature, "the perfect
liberal arts major."
