Studying Psychology discussion

What can you say of culture?

The sub cultures within cultures?

What do you think causes people to hate or dislike and discriminate against those different from them or even those within their culture?

Have you noticed that even people from the same country or religion find differences amongst eachother?

What is your opinion?
Are we just naturally inclined to hurt and bash others? Why do we so desperately search for differences when we can have harmony if we search for similarity or even accept differences?

Those are great questions! Let me think about that...

Hmmm,I think it could be a mix of a little pride, a little envy, and even low self-esteem.

Pride with low self-esteem may seem like an oxymoron, but it seems like the people who think they are better than someone else, are the ones that feel the worse about themselves. Don't you think?

True Keenan. It would be false. I don't mean pride as in proud of an accomplishment or achievement. More proud of themselves for just being. Maybe pride isn't the right word, but they do come off cocky.

I have had a very recent experience with a friend whom I met via internet. When we first met in person, he came across as, for lack of a better way to say it, 'bad-ass' (excuse the language, I don't know how else to say it). But once I got to know him well, I realize that he isn't comfortable with himself, he was really self-conscious, insecure and subsequently, unhappy.

Well said, Keenan. I understand exactly. People who are okay with themselves, don't need things or people around them or popularity or degrees, etc, etc.

Have you ever noticed that a lot (I'm not saying all) but many people who reverence silence, or being alone, are never lonely?

I think that sometimes when people are lonely, they aren't okay with being alone with themselves. Does that make sense?

I agree with Keenan in terms of unhappiness causing these bitter rising reactions to what is different from them.
People fear and hate when or what they don't understand.

If something different is in front of them, they will find something...anything wrong with the difference.

We all have our days when we are insecure, but there are those that feel turn that insecurity into blame. They take it out on everyone around them.

How come we believe that whatever we think or are is right and others must conform to our style or way of living/thinking?

One more thing...peace of the mind and spirit instill strength in an individual which allows him/her to be alone but never lonely. Whilst a restless mind and spirit causes chaos.

I just read a quote on FB and thought I would share...

"Stay away from people who talk bad daily, these kinds of people carry a negative spirit. The problem is, they are not happy with themselves."

I talk bad sometimes. I catch myself simply because I feel like poison is running through my veins when I say certain things. Its a strange feeling.

This website is made by you.

yes Dasha, made by me... my work of 4 years, new breakthroughs in theoretical neuropsychology, leading to a lot of new results, academics are going through it now (released it to them only this May 2013)
