Abstract

This paper argues that human behaviour cannot be understood  without considering the cultural, political and economic dimensions  of life. Attention is drawn to numerous erroneous conclusions  drawn by behaviourists, with specific reference to the  study of childhood and early adolescence. To know human behaviour in its total milieu, it is contended that some of the richest sources are films, short stories and art work by and about children.
