Another factor that places a huge role in cultural influences on a person’s personality is harm. It is said that when benefits to the other groups represents harms or losses to ones own group, people are especially likely to not only evaluate their own group more positively but also to denigrate and harm out groups. So basically that means when something happens no matter how long ago, groups can form and hold hate while thinking they are better than the other group. This made perfect sense to be because as I am Greek, I know that I’m supposed to hate Turkish people, even though I do not know the reason. . Why? There are many reasons why and it is
interesting to see it from both culture sides. I found a website that does this
beautifully and it is even comical to see the two sides go back and forth. To see an example of how cultures can hate
one other due to harm or loss to one’s own group please check out the page by Harry Foundalis.
