Dehumanization

in #steemit5 years ago

"One of the worst things we can do to human beings is to deprive them of their humanization, strip them of another value through the psychological process of dehumanization. This happens when we think that "others" do not have the same feelings, thoughts, courage and goals as we do. We lower or erase from our conscience any human quality that these "others" may have in common with us. We fear evil, but we are fascinated. We create myths of evil conspiracies and come to believe in it enough to mobilize our forces against it. We reject the "other" as different or dangerous because it is unknown to us, but we love to contemplate sexual excesses and violations of moral codes committed by those who are not like us. The idea that an insurmountable chasm separates good people from bad people is to comfort them, it creates a binary logic that specializes evil. It is not the willingness to comply with the laws that makes people behave as mandated by society, it is the fear of punishment. "
