Points from the Videos about Behavioral Consequences

Conditionality
  • Just like coins, currency, art, and real estate have no inherent value, words and symbols contain no inherent meaning.
  • Given that each of us come from different cultural backgrounds and a unique-to-us set of life experiences and perspectives, it's not appropriate to think that someone can truly be "objective."
  • "You've got to be taught to be afraid of people whose eyes are oddly made, and people whose skin is a different shade."
  • We should consider the effects that words — especially words exhorting fear, hate, and violence — can have on some individuals.

Consider:

We cannot command the wind, but we can adjust our sails.—Author Unknown
What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think. It is the harder, because you will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it. It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own. But the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.—Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Self-Reliance"
The only man who behaves sensibly is my tailor; he takes my measure anew each time he sees me, whilst all the rest go on with their old measurements and expect them to fit me.—George Bernard Shaw
