Babies: Born To Be Good?

When award-winning filmmaker Eileen Thalenberg decided to make the documentary Babies: Born To Be Good? she headed to the laboratories of U of T’s Kang Lee in Canada and China.

The result airs on CBC’s The Nature of Things with David Suzuki, October 25 at 8 p.m.  

“A great deal of the breakthrough research in the area of moral development is being done by Canadians,” said Thalenberg. “As we travelled around Canada, the U.S. and China, we watched them at work with children from a few months old and up. What they are discovering is providing a whole new way of looking at the complexity of what even the youngest babies may be thinking.” 

Lee, a University Distinguished Professor with the University of Toronto’s Dr. Eric Jackman Institute of Child Study, is the author of leading research about the early development of honesty and lying. He explained the importance of what is called prosocial behaviour – voluntary actions that help others.

“Humans are evolved to be highly social and there are biological predispositions in all of us (babies included) to be prosocial from early on,” said Lee. “Young children not only increasingly become dishonest about their transgressions but also learn to tell prosocial lies.”

It became clear that we needed to change the way we were living, consuming and thinking about our natural world.

More than 17,000 shocked listeners wrote letters to David Suzuki asking for ways to avert the impending environmental catastrophe. A movement was born.

The roots of our Foundation stem from this single, transformational paradigm shift: that respect for nature and interdependence with it must be our species’ top priority.

Solutions are in our nature

Following the radio series and the public reaction to it, David Suzuki and Tara Cullis hosted a gathering of a dozen thought leaders and activists on Pender Island, B.C., in November 1989. The group identified the need for a new solutions-based organization to tackle the environmental crisis. On September 14, 1990, the David Suzuki Foundation was incorporated.

Early projects focused on fisheries, forestry, species at risk, pesticides and the economics of sustainability. Highlights included international
