Hi Angel.
That experiment was very important in understanding how conditioning can affect human behaviour. If anybody is not familiar with the blue / brown eyes experiment, it's well worth reading. And quite startling and a little frightening.
I implications in understanding sources of discrimination are very relevant even today.
Well done Angel for reminding me about it.

Hello Angelicamarie.
Thank you so much for the reminder of this very poignant exercise. It's so good to see that the kids of today are still getting to see it and comment constructively on thier reactions.
