The 1966 Five Monkey Experiment . This experiment demonstrates social learning and operant conditioning.

Indigenous people of a Brazilian tribe have fallen into porn addiction after being connected to the Internet The Marubo tribe of Brazil has lived isolated for hundreds of years in the jungle along the Itui River, a tributary of the Amazon river. Last fall, 20 satellite systems from Starlink were installed in their village of about 2,000 people. According to the American newspaper The New York Times, the Marubos were happy at first, as they were able to quickly call rescuers and doctors or communicate with relatives who had gone to the city. After six months, however, the elders sounded the alarm. Young people were becoming lazy and spending half a day in hammocks with smartphones. Many became addicted to porn, even though their traditional culture forbids even kissing in public. Men became addicted to shooting games. As a result, elders banned Internet use for more than two hours in the morning and five hours in the evening. “If you don't hunt, fish or grow plants in the village, you will have nothing to eat,” warned a local elder.
