this is a very interesting clip. it deals with the themes of what makes us human in terms of our characteristics and the theme of Moral relativism. it shows a child that behaves so much like a dog that his behavior is described as being "more like an animal then like a human child" we are bought to question how the conditions in our childhood effect the child's mind. other questions bought up are:

what is it that makes us human?

are we a product of our genes or are we a product of our experience?

if your not brought up by humans are you human?
