I always read your Yello Dyno Memo tip to toe. There is no better e-zine out there for child safety. Yello Dyno covers the right topics in the right manner (thank-you for not dumbing down this e-zine) and is not afraid to tackle harder issues like violence in the media and in the games we allow our children to play. Your stuff is tough, factual, and fun - and we love it.

9/09 - Correcting Destructive Social Patterns in Children Will Improve School Climate
In a dominant male monkey, stimulation of an area of the temporal lobe produced a rage response: teeth baring and attack. Stimulation of the same area in a subordinate monkey produced withdrawal: cowering and huddling in the corner of the cage.
To social psychologist Albert Bandura, this finding of Jose Delgado (Bandura, 1979) suggested that direct stimulation of brain systems was never a direct cause of aggression, but that aggression always had learned aspects to it. He further stated that the "neural mechanism" did not have functions that were permanently fixed, and the decision to attack or curl into a ball or show the jugular vein (in an act of submission) seemed to be based in part on what expectations were generated at that time by being in a particular social status.

- Mind Hunter, by John Douglas and Mark Olshake.
John Douglas was head of the Investigative Support Unit of the FBI. This unit ushered in an a new age in behavioral science and criminal profiling. During his twenty-five -year career, John Douglas handled over ten thousand violent crimes. |
