Exercise 3. Why can not I go to a concert "Noah's Ark"?
This question raised eight children his surprise his father. In the soul of the boy was a dramatic struggle between his own tastes, predilections, hobbies and group disapproval. The group designation creates a huge, often uncontrolled pressure mechanism, part of which is a system of norms and rules of conduct. At this time the target group refers to musical tastes of its members ...
Danger, when a group of teenagers take to form the style of life. The child pays for the emotional strain: He is forced to choose between their own identity and comfort conduct to ensure the approval of the group.
Try to offer a program of preventive measures. What are the classes of content and how it is necessary to conduct with children, that they may learn to preserve their identities? For example, a program of action for school class called "How to protect your" I "?"
And as you have the case with its own independence? The draft program, use its own expertise and that of their children.
It would seem that no normal, moral development of man is not able to humiliate and torment anyone. None of us can not imagine that he voluntarily agreed to the expulsion of certain social groups. And what should the conditions that he was ready to kill another human being? Maybe it does not necessarily belong to any socio-pathological groups?
These and other antisocial behavior, people are capable of in terms of dehumanization. This is a process in which we cease to perceive the other as a similar, see the PA as the figures of people with thoughts, feelings, desires and tselen as walking subjects. In this regard, we are able to hurt someone and not suffer with this emotional loss.
According to a famous German writer and philosopher Martin Buber, the relationship
between people can be considered a humanist, as they are subjective, personal and emotional nature. The author proposes to call them the type of "I - you." Relations dehumanize, suspended and deprived of Nurturing / empathic reactions, called "I'm - it."
Dehumanization of the individual provides a unique protection from emotions that might upset the clarity of his actions. Try to give examples of situations in which the effects of dehumanizing it might be useful for all participants.
EXAMPLE.
Examples may be: defensive dehumanization with a difficult surgical operation; dispassionately behavior is technically difficult rescue operation in the conduct of war, accidents, etc.
However, more dehumanization serves phenomenon is negative, destructive. If we see people senseless, unfeeling creatures, we are easier to use, ignore or even destroy. It is this mechanism work with the mass killings: men are not destroyed, but only the lowest forms of life. Dehumanization represents a constant threat to the foundations of social justice and human dignity. When any social group seeks to destroy the other, it creates an image of a faceless, horrid community, devoid of human traits. This murder is seen as the elimination of unnecessary, despicable, threatening the personal welfare of animals.
This whole procedure takes an anonymous nature, devoid of interpersonal traits
contact.
Think, please, which in general can serve as dehumanization? Scientists argue that it can be:
1) imposed by society;
2) used for self-defense;
3) intentionally used to reward the individual;
4) used as a necessary means to achieve some socially important and meaningful goal.
The process of dehumanization of society imposed on a group where:
- The nature of work prevents an employee human traits;
- Work makes individual dehumanize others.
"You can not feel a drop of pride. Hard to be proud of the bridge, which has never proydesh, or gateway, which has never otkroesh. You make something in mass quantities, and never see the end result," - said working in the interview. What are the implications of this phenomenon? Large staff turnover, absenteeism, poor quality work, alcoholism, drugs, general dissatisfaction, low productivity, and even mental illness.
Another type of dehumanization - a situation where the institution is forced to quickly and clearly.
send a human crowd, serve large numbers of people and, moreover, well to control the entire process.
EXAMPLE.
Examples of such situations is to serve the flow of passengers, the management of traffic in rush hour, the maintenance of order during a meal in a prison or psychiatric hospital. Office "Human Flow" shows us that even in a crowd, everyone has individualyyustyo that can not be ignored. Try to give your own examples. What do you think about patient care in large hospitals? And the relationship teacher-student in high schools or overcrowded classrooms? Think, please, impact on you personally through a social group, the mechanism of dehumanization.
Dehumanization can also be used in self-defense. When working in the health service when performing duties in relation to different types of services, it happens that our observations and the work we are in a very strong emotional feelings associated with empathy (empathy), violation of taboos (such as the inviolability of the body, nudity, invasion of privacy and intimate zone). Consider also that there is not doomed, in fact, a psychotherapist in similar experiences. Then, to be able to operate properly, a person develops a protective mechanisms: The problem bezlichnostno (surgeon uses the patient body, not the person).
