If 2014 was the year of social experiments gone viral, we can only hope that 2015 will bring us more of these videos, but with more positive messages!
Italian video journalist Luca Lavarone has done just that. But make no mistake, the following video is not just sweet and heartwarming, it packs a powerful message about domestic violence that EVERYONE should see.
In the social experiment, which was filmed in Lavarone's homeland of Italy, Lavarone asks several elementary school-aged boys a few questions about themselves. The young boys talk about what they want to do when they grow up, and it's absolutely adorable.
However, when Lavarone introduces the boys to a pretty young girl named Martina, most of them become shy. Lavarone asks the boys harmless questions about Martina like "What do you like about her?" before asking them to "caress her." The boys nervously giggle before giving her a soft touch, but Lavarone's next request stops them dead in their tracks.
"And now…slap her!" Laverne says, shocking the boys. They are visibly frightened and confused, but not one of the young men obliges. One boy tells the camera "I'm against violence," while another says "girls shouldn't be hit, not even with a flower."
