I'm not saying my idea is right, after all, we will never really know, i just wanted some people on the other side of the fence to rebut my ideas in a logical manner.:thumbsup:
But that's still socialization and learned behavior, with regards to what the man is used to.

And I'd like to disagree with a point you make that the man's earlier experiences have nothing to do with it. They have a great deal to do with it. They're the psychological material through which this man may very well approach omlettes for the rest of his life. You can't just throw out past experiences as irrelevent. This can't be a logical exercise because prejudices are inherently illogical. So the psychology must be pertinent.

I still don't see how you're plugging it into a biological bias...
Polymirize Reviewed by Polymirize on . Prejudice: biolocial, or cultural? I had a conversation with one of my professors today regarding prejudice and if such a thing has a biological or cultural basis. I would like to take my stance and put it on canna.com hopefully for beneficial and lively discussion. I took the path of most resistance with this one and sided with prejudice having more of a biological basis, my logic resting on the fact that every human and most of the higher mammals display prejudice selection when the opportunity arises.
