I do not justify discrimination aginst others based on a caste system or any
other social,ethnic,racial, and other cultural
parameters.Bear in mind that it is not only how people think and behave
that should be analyzed but the REASONS
that they give to account for their behavior and thinking. And the reasons
they might give such as tradition,authoritative, assumed indigenous and
exogenous subject variables, and other beliefs would probably not stand
scientific muster.I suspect that when faced with scientific veracity,many
could not handle the cognitive disson that would prevail because of social
and cultural
imperatives.It is thinking that must be changed.But whether that thinking
must be changed to coincide with science
is a different story, Like St.Paul,it could be non-productive to go against
the goad.
About four months ago I entertained a guest from New Zealand.This person
was in Animal homeopathy.
Btw,I distinguish between treatment and healing.I suspect there is more to
healing than the medicinal effects.
Research seems to support the idea that one's health status can be
influenced by one's optimistic outlook.
Granting that homeopathy does not measure up to real medicine,an issue to
considered is its role in the non-medical
panorama of healing.
One final point: critical thinking is not confined to Psychology.Critical
thinking also applies to history and other disiplines.
Is the Confederate flag a symbol of racism or State's rights?
Why isn't there a hibt of the fleur-de-lis on the Canadian flag?
