Make me a Genius!

In this second section of the video, its producers talk about making genius. For this video, they interviewed and videotaped a famous chess champion known as Susan Polgar. They chose her, because her father, Laslo Polgar wanted to make his children genius. He got this idea from Mozart. Why Mozart? Well it is simple, based on studies, Mozart´s dad gave this gifted musician early musical knowledge and training.This led to Mozart´s great knowledge. Evidently, this was Laslo´s plan for his children. He even wrote a book about this plan of his. This book mentions that genius is made and not born with and that genius is the same as work with forunate circumstances. In order to make his children genius, he decided that they should be homeschooled, because he strongly believed that this benefited them more than school did. Susan´s love for chess and dedication made her greatly talented in this game. This was because she had to have willingness and this would make the rest easy. This was another contributor and probably the work combined with fortunate circumstance that her dad talked about in his book. 
     This video also mentions the differences between a girl´s thinking and a boy´s. Dr. Peter McLeod, carried out an experiment where he set some children to find the statue which is found in the middle of the Blenheim palace maze. This would mark the difference of thinking between genders. Over time, these psychologists have found out that boys have a mental map when it comes to figuring directions, while girls prefer thinking more logically. To prove this, psychologists experimented and found that the cortex is larger on the right side which contributes to a guy´s spacial awareness. On the other hand, the corpus colosum on the left side of the brain, which is in charge of reasoning, is more developed in the girl´s brain. 
     To conclude, based on Laslo Polgar, genius is made and not born with. Genius´variables are work and and fortunate circumstances. Psychologists have also found that boys and girls think differently. This affects how they solve situations.
