I will explain my hypthothesis the best I can. Prejudice is biological. You point out some very good key arguments about compounding already existing simlpler functions.


The human mind has the need to survive and contains basic needs. As to every animal on this planet.
Physically: The need to eat
The need to mate
The need to expell fece;s
Physcologically: To accel (at least for humans, we can't just not do anything, the mind must be moving towards a goal or an idea at somepoint)
To succeed, to attain a mate etc etc

When anything interferes with that there is a "primal response" so to speak that lies within everyone no matter how civilized and polished by society one may be.

Anyways, I do not want to bore you so here is my conclusion. Human kind has a predisposition or an inclination or susceptibility so to speak to be ruthless (for back of a better word) in order to survive. All humans are inherently evil, something we must account for and try to fix given are abilities for idea's and the relm of thought and reason.

In addition, to adress the cultural idea theory.

Culture influences or may direct prejudice. But there does lay a tiny miniscuel amount of "primal prejudice" I like to call it born into everyone. If to drift over into religion it would be like "original sin". Something that is there, to some extent in everyone, like evil, yet were expected and very well able to maintain and controll it individually and can eventually almost go away.

I am done. I apologize for the rant. That is my two cents on the subject. I hope that I provided some service.

Peace and love~
peaceandlove420 Reviewed by peaceandlove420 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.
