Lots of people have heard of the Little Albert study performed by John Watson. The first I had heard of it was in my psychology class that I took in my junior year of high school. There‚ we learned what Watson supposedly did to the nine-month-old little boy named Albert.

In a world where misogyny‚ debt‚ and lewd behavior were common among rulers‚ their partnership broke many modern-day standards and created a new set of values. Though many of these values emerged in struggle for power‚ Queen Victoria and Prince Albert managed to stay together‚ and ultimately‚ redefined European politics‚ economics‚
