  • Mob Mentality and Social Control

    The right to freely express opinions in democratic nations may unexpectedly become derailed and end up uniting those with related, and sometimes radical, views. Members of these groups may become evangelized and later begin propagating their beliefs or faith outside their sphere of influence. 

    Being a member or part of a community or group can amplify or exaggerate an individual's optimistic and pessimistic sense of security and pride. Is it possible that the commonalities that hold groups together in democratic societies become influenced or abused remotely by nefarious institutions, foundations, and, unsurprisingly, governments?

  • Self-Serving Bias in a Democracy (自利性偏差)
    Jan 20 2024

    #selfservingbias #democracy #biased
    Observations and decisions promoted aggressively through corrupted one-way thinking and decision-making processes, which usually come from biased information networks, feed something called a self-serving bias.

  • Cognitive Dissonance in a Democracy
    Jan 20 2024

    #cognitivedissonance  #democracynow  #beliefsandsciences  
     Unfortunately, it takes some people an extremely long time to acknowledge that some of their beliefs, or ways of thinking, weren't carefully thought out or lacked objective reasoning. It may take a lot of honest self-reflection to rid themselves of beliefs that hold them back from seeing the world as it is instead of how they want it to be

    “Black Americans, once freed from slavery, were very active in forming their churches, most of them Baptist or Methodist, and giving their ministers moral and political leadership roles. In the process of self-segregation, practically all black Americans left white churches so that few racially integrated congregations remained (apart from some Catholic churches in Louisiana).”
