As humans, we teach each other. But do we take for granted our freedom to do so?

- Humans are unique in that we learn socially and actively teach each other lessons of survival.

- Freedom of expression allows accumulated knowledge, that which is passed down through generations and across cultures, to flourish within and benefit society.

Nicholas A. Christakis is a physician, sociologist, and director of the Human Nature Lab at Yale University, where he is the Sterling Professor of Social and Natural Science. His most recent book is Blueprint: The Evolutionary Origins of a Good Society. Follow him on Twitter @NAChristakis
