And with the new technologies we risk letting out our brutal unconscious tendencies again. Violence in form of cyberbullying. Selfishness in form of narcissistic social networks. And more problematic, having groups with extremist anti-social attitudes reach critical mass.
- MollyR 12y agoI agree about letting our brutal tendencies out. I don't agree with the redefinition of violence from physical harm to include cyberbullying. Bullying is correlated with acts of violence, but violence and bullying are different things. I think our in-group out-group behavior and all the brutal tendencies stem from our very evolution. Macques do the same thing ( http://psycnet.apa.org/psycinfo/2011-01598-001/ http://psycnet.apa.org/psycinfo/2011-01598-001/ ). That being said I also don't think any group has an extremist anti-social attitude. It seems like an paradox, how do people who are extremely anti-social form a group, wouldn't they just be bunch of isolated loners ? I think are simply extremist towards people they see as the "other" or outside their group.
