In 2005, Katrina, a massive hurricane, struck the city of New Orleans and destroyed virtually everything, including all schools. As a result, everyone left the city, kids stopped going to school, the school board lost its funding, the teachers lost their jobs leading to the unions losing all of their members. It was a true disaster for everyone.
Then the city's government came up with a great idea...

![Why Are We Violent? [Social Learning Theory]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PiBztasqPzo/mqdefault.jpg "Why Are We Violent? [Social Learning Theory]
Human violence is often debated as either innate or learned behavior. This video explores aggression through the lens of psychology, the World War 1 Christmas Truce, and Robert Sapolsky’s baboon study, showing how the environment shapes social behavior. By examining the cycle of violence, social learning, and biological influences, it highlights why aggression persists and how peaceful cooperation can emerge. Understanding human behavior helps us reflect on whether violence is part of our nature or something we can change through culture and environment.

![The 4 Stages of Adaptation [Culture Shock]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PrbzuV2Paw0/mqdefault.jpg "The 4 Stages of Adaptation [Culture Shock]
When we move to another country, we are often exposed to a culture different from ours and need to go through four stages of transition: Honeymoon, frustration, adjustment, and adaptation. Some people are excited about the foreign culture for months, and others start to get frustrated on day one. And then there are those who experience a culture shock that is so strong that they leave before adjusting.

![Why Are Teens Tired In School [Changing Circadian Rhythms]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/R57ocxW3faA/mqdefault.jpg "Why Are Teens Tired In School [Changing Circadian Rhythms]
When children become teenagers, hormonal changes shift their circadian rhythm—they get tired later. Since schools typically dont adapt to their new natural sleep cycle, they often get less sleep during weekdays, affecting their memory retention, emotional well-being, and health. If we want teenagers to learn and prosper, schools could do what sounds so simple, adjust their start times to the biological rhythms of their students.
