EXAMPLE.
An example of dehumanization which serve as the basis for their own benefit only, is related to the prostitutes. A person can be "use" for their own benefit and of abstracting his feelings, thoughts. Please note that this mechanism is common, as well as prostitutes see their clients only a tool.
As we have said, dehumanization can be seen as a means to achieve it.
important, socially recognized purpose. In the name of a great cause: peace, revolution, freedom - people are very easy to resort to the use of dehumanization against their opponents. For information on how easily we use this mechanism, indicate studies conducted among the students. It turned out that most of the surveyed (90%) adopted the so-called "scientific, final" decision fictitious threat problem "adapt and intelligent of the people" by extinction, the systematic destruction. They agreed on euthanasia or bulk shipment to the war. A few years later repeated the study and the results are confirmed. Under investigation were in agreement on the destruction not to adapt, while 29% expressed agreement, even against members of his family.
Now think about the mechanisms of dehumanization.
The literature notes several related processes:
labeling, use of language, identity and devalues human depersonifitsiruyuschego of people, but rather to kill say to eliminate, instead of people talking fool, a pawn, rather than group, which I direct, my staff and others;
intellectualization and its manifestations are expressions of type: operated today.
peritoneum and appendix, my patient's paranoid phenomenon ', it attempts to move, to hide our inner emotions, isolation, or "raskladyvanie is provided", is to separate opinions, attitudes and actions of themselves, the distribution of (classification) and the preservation of their characteristics and large situational relativism (in the war can kill, in the laboratory are used for science);
self-preservation through a great physical distance from the "victims" appears to hold with them a minimum amount of time, avoiding eye contact, in the forms nelichnostnogo contact (eg, a notice of dismissal in writing rather than in person, the provision of medical personnel in isolation rooms);
diffusion of responsibility, which occurs in the presence of a group in the face of a phenomenon in which every person felt the need to respond, as the group considers itself free of it (why I);
support group at degumaniziruyuschem behavior and every expression of support such behavior perpetuates it (it's not too bad. Look at it from the other side.)
the ability to joke and laugh, which reduces the stress and fear, convinces us that the situation is not such a terrible and overwhelming (students, joking with the post-mortem).
Exercises. On the diffusion of responsibility
Share please their own recollections or memories of other people, which you can gather about the phenomenon of diffusion of responsibility. It is the scattering of individual preparedness assistance, reducing the concerns, interests, focus on the task at hand, when in our presence comes something bad, requiring action, but we are not the only witnesses.
To better understand, connect with them.
In a class full of students, is a teacher and said: "Remove here dirtily".
In the class in which one child is the same teacher and said: "Get".
But when he heard shouting in the wasteland, we stand ready to assist rather than listening to the call for help in a densely populated neighborhood.
Have you seen this phenomenon in the group that? Do you know about this only on the stories or seen in person? Have you be a victim of human diffusion of responsibility? Have you refrain from helping because you feel that this will make others?
Share your experiences and thoughts on this topic. It is essential to distinguish between aggression and assertive.
The group can teach aggression and strengthen it. It can simulate it and to prescribe a standard to indicate a member of the group, as well as open to it to force. You can subtly incline to it as a strategy to ensure the promotion of the hierarchical ladder. Aggression can also arise in a crowd, a large group when its members begin to behave uncontrollably. Typically, that never, even in emergency situations, the participants often can not remember who did that. This process deinividualizatsii when a person becomes a nobody, faceless beings who denied liability, as well as a large group absorbed as a personality. There is a group, or all, - and, hence, no! .. This crowd is able to lynching. When we are anonymous - wear loose white and mask, hide our faces - we are monsters. The aggression is manifested in different ways: as an inborn instinct, as a consequence of frustration, it could also be the result of social learning, modeling.
You can talk about aggression:
sound, does not contradict the socially recognized purpose (prosecuting murderers);
malignant, anti-society and human identity (theft, robbery, murder, terrorism).
With regard to the object, which is aggressive behavior, aggression distinguish:
physical (fight, pain);
verbal (swearing, vulgar expressions, irony);
imaginary.
