We aren't, if you place a group of infants together they'd get along just fine, the's a term "Love is natural, Hate is learnt", people's characters are influenced by their surroundings and who is around them. We aren't built like how you say we're taught to be that way, some of us are just able to maintain an open mind. |
No no no, those infants would be perfectly fine with eachother, but once they go out in the world and see different things, they will judge them, they will classify them. Its a surival mechanism. That is human nature. And it turns into prejudice. Prejudice can be positive feelings too. Like how we, as babies at least, worship our mothers, and are nervous and sometimes even scared around other people. Unless you lack your basic survival instincts, then you are like this too. As is every human.
"Some of us are able to maintain an open mind" is basically a way of saying you're better than everyone else... That's not very nice you know.
Breaking down your own sense of prejudice is nice, but you won't ever get rid of it in every aspect of life. That's just silly.
