I
have noticed that as the disgusting content of our global unconscious mind is
coming it light, it is being accompanied by the rise of social psychology. I
think our collective prayers have been answered and I am hopeful that those
with the power to make the much need change will take note. With the help of
social psychology we can get to the root of our fears, prejudices, racism and learn useful mechanism to help us control our negative actions, detrimental
thoughts and our unfair treatment of others resulting from them.
Laws when they work are great for punishing those who harm after the
fact, they also serve as a deterrent to others but the control our natural tendencies have over our actions is greater than laws. For
the type of change that is needed to make the world an equal, safe and free place for all, we
need a new approach, one that puts the human mind in focus. We need to learn skills to override those tendencies that are harmful to others and ourselves. One thing that must
be done is to use what we are learning from social psychology to create programs (especially public service arenas) which will provide people the much needed tools to fight their own fear, prejudices and racism. Such programs might not work for everyone because as we know some humans are downright hateful and take pleasure out
of making others life hell, but what
programs like this will do for those
people is show them that their hatefulness is not welcomed and won’t be
tolerated.
