Brain see - Monkey do

It seems to me that with every passing year things are getting worse on Planet Earth. Racism is high and crime is exponentially increasing. Do you have any idea why this is?

 I believe it goes back to a basic “monkey see, monkey do,” mentality. By that I mean thatt researchers have discovered mirror neurons in the brain’s prefrontal cortex (directly behind the forehead). When you watch in person or electronically a behavior, those mirror neurons fire as if you were doing the behavior yourself. Electronic programming has become increasingly violent. Watch enough of that and the brain may move to actually exhibiting the behavior as the mirror neurons move what you watched into actual behavior. More tomorrow.
