i wonder if anyone has realized this but me, and this should be a short post cause i shouldnt need much evidence just use common sense, shouldn't be a problem in this social group thread.

i thought, and humans have alot in common with pets and other animals.
but thats not were this thread is going.
humans are domesticated like dogs. when we are good, we are rewarded to an extent. when we are bad, we are punished. when we stick our noses in places we shouldn't, we get the door slammed on it.
thus is how we are raised (trained) and the ones that dont want to be domesticated are cast out and/or punished more

Well the media controls what we hear about the world. This goes along with censorship and how it affects out judgments because what we hear is so bias. We are told who to hate, who to like, and how to live. We are brainwashed into buying things because they are "cool." So might i ask everyone; who are you? Are you the person society wants you to be or are you your own person doing things because you want to?

Back to the original of how we are raised it is also what defines "socially acceptable." I mean different societies have different things that are accepted, you can do something that is accepted in the us but if you do that in say china you can be shunned.
I feel bad for the kids growing up now because there are going to be serious hate crimes against Muslims in the future. Because they have grown up to believe that they can only be terrorists.

it's called "Classical Conditioning."
and it's a Sociological term.

you need to take a trip to the library and study of on pavlov and his dog's. maybe take a look at skinner too.

what you have "thought," has already been proven... and studied to a much further extent. take a look into it, you might just find you're a sociologist at heart


edit:
hey so i was thinking about it and it depends on which way you would have continued arguing your case, but it could also be considered "operant conditioning" which is different pavlovian or classical conditioning. look up both and make the educated decision yourself on which it is

You forgot to mention Dr. John B. Watson and his experiments on "little Albert." He might not be as famous as Skinner, but he is just as important to behaviorism.
