The kernel of stereotype: Pride and prejudice
The kernel of stereotype: Pride and prejudice
Stereotypes come from one-sided and persistent subjective definitions of things or other people. Definitions are originally accurate and inaccurate, but subjective definitions can contain strong personal emotions, which is why stereotypes are uncertain. In addition, human beings are continuously developing creatures, both their behavior and personality are in long-term change, and stereotypes tend to exist stubbornly on the personality characteristics at a certain point of time, while ignoring the long-term, holistic nature.
The stereotypes that are more often brought up are often negative views and opinions. As Gongsun Bao said in the animated movie, the stereotype of human nature is a big mountain. Whether the source of prejudice deserves to be prejudiced, the benevolent, perhaps for that moment in that position in the state of mind of the person in denial, prejudice is reasonable and legitimate. But a moment of friction and contempt should not become a reason to trample on others in the heart for life.
Subjective prejudice is influenced by objective behavior, but at the same time, arrogance from within is the initiator. Subjective arrogance is like a poisonous snake hiding in the ground, and only when one or two things objectively lead the snake out of its hole, the unconscious initial intention will be formed. The subjective consciousness of people is often formed unconsciously and naturally. In fact, the so-called stereotypes in the stereotype, but also from the subjective consciousness of the poisonous tongue is generally hidden deep in the heart of the stubborn. The unconsciousness of the subjective consciousness also forms the root of the stereotype. In fact, the so-called impression is a very shallow subjective awareness, for example, the prejudice at any time. Maybe one second you are still very polite in talking with him, to the next moment, but because of the inadvertent action, a cigarette ash did not fall, so that you think of her first saw you that a terrified and greedy mouth. Unnaturally, her image became much grayer, which is not self-aware stereotypes.
In fact, there are many sources of prejudice, but in my case, there are always one or two things that lead to a special treatment of a certain person or thing, and the influence of the long-term past forms prejudice. The biggest difference between prejudice and arrogance is that prejudice is a specific, repetitive habit that is divided into people and occasions, while arrogance is a life attitude and a personal character. Prejudice may be formed from stereotypes, but these stereotypes only appear in one or two people at one or two times, and at most they can only be repeated and deepened. The formation of arrogance, on the other hand, comes more from subjective personal factors and family influence, which is a more solid, long-term stereotype formation.
To cite a less appropriate example, many people may be for the student math teacher there are various prejudices, in fact, in all fairness, out of that time period, now their own perspective, that time looks cruel is now the most should be grateful. The impression left at that time is too deep, the pain is always shocking, but such a prejudice, will always gradually dissipate with the change of times, and finally left only nostalgia and thanks. Prejudice can be there, but it should only exist at that point and time; arrogance can be there, but only at the right time for the wrong person. And stereotypes are hopefully not so stereotypical, dissipating with time, becoming more and more faded and lighter. After all, people are always caught in the times and people they live in, but after the clouds have cleared, when you re-examine everything that happened at that time, why can't you get the transcendence and lightness of a hermit?
