Ethnic discrimination in terms of human psychology


Unfortunately, people are often exposed to the ethnic discrimination. Specifically, Azerbaijan, my country, is full of people who group others based on their ethnicity and origin. There are respective stereotypes regarding each region: for instance, if someone is from region X, he or she tend to be jealous and mean. Today, I want to share my findings with you as a result of my investigations concerning the psychological causes of the given prejudicial thinking way.

In my opinion, the main offensive force leading people to unfairly group others on their ethnicity is the easiness of it. It is so difficult for humans to implement individualist approach, requiring demanding effort to know others personally, in their lives (Scientifically, humans generally choose the easier option even despite the fact that it results in destructive outcome).Instead, it is much easier for human beings to have certain prejudgments in order to spend less time and energy by not obsessing with their characters a lot.

However, this is the issue that all humans should not choose an easier path. The ethical revolutions of our modern era require everyone to judge others for their personal character traits and thoughts, not for their origin and country. But still some Eurasia and Middle Eastern countries are suffering from ethnic discrimination. How to tackle the problem here?

The best approach to get rid of prejudicial thinking way is empathy. It is the main way widely utilized in the psychology with the purpose of understanding others` problems and taking promising actions against them. When humans were emphatic toward the ones being subject to ethnic discrimination, they would ultimately find the biased assumptions in the action done.

To sum up, points above have discussed the provided topic from several aspects, in which case some causes are explained. The most preventative measure to take is being emphatic in the instances of racial, ethnic and gender discrimination or bullying, triggering the disastrous effects for everyone and, most essentially, for our common brotherhood.

Perception vs Reality: What is the actual difference between them?

The subject of matter I am going to discuss is probably mostly used concept of psychology in our daily life situations. Somehow, nearly all of us are subject to misunderstanding by others and think that this is due to the wrong interpretations of them, not us. Actually, there is something we can do in order to prevent these occurrences. However, before going deeper in this issue, let`s find out what perception and reality indicate. Perception  is recognition and clarification of information obtained with the help of sensory organs. For instance, interview panel observes behaviors of applicant and perceives that he or she is a little bit defensive and not open to negative feedback. The perceptions  such as these create our own reality, but it can be far different from the actual  reality . Imagine yourself as a person with full of life energy and commitment to the work you do; nevertheless, your colleagues do believe that you do not love your work and do not fully t...

Dreamology

Dreams humans see during sleeps are always believed to be integral part of cognitive philosophy and neuroscience. By the same token, largest thinkers, such as Aristotle, Descartes and Plato, expressed controversial ideas surrounding dreams. In addition to the philosophical approach to this topic, there are neurological aspects needed to be clarified. In this post, I will summarize the main findings of both advanced areas. Most referenced philosopher in terms of brain and human thoughts, Rene Descartes, had widely discussed dream argument. Briefly explaining, Dream argument draws attention to the similarities between dreams and actual life. This similarity leads to a popular question as a result of conclusions driven by dream argument: How can I know that I am not now dreaming?  According to Descartes, our fundamental senses are not reliable enough to answer the question above and he is not able to find any key difference between the dreams and reality to distinguish them. However...

Alzheimer`s disease

Let`s firstly begin by defining what is Alzheimer`s. Alzheimer`s is the most common driving factor of dementia, term used to describe general memory loss and behavioral disorders, all affecting the daily lives directly. The major portion of people aware of Alzheimer`s think that it is related to the aging process. Yes, it is more or less true; however, recent cases indicate us the fact that Alzheimer can occur in people under 65, too. Moreover, regardless of the age when a person begins suffering from Alzheimer`s, this disease is worsening remarkably as the years pass on; in other words, Alzheimer`s is continuously getting more unbearable. Although medical measures have been improved a lot in the last years, there is still not any medication curing Alzheimer`s fully. Doctors are only capable of making the disease lessen its intensity. There are a variety of symptoms, such as memory loss, vision loss, difficulties while completing simple tasks, making decisions or remembering the plac...
