People have discussed words such as hate speech for a long
time and often wonder what impact it has on environments. In my hypothetical
thought experiment, we find that in certain circles where hate speech is high
there is belittling of others in general and more pointedly against certain
races, religions, politics, etc... That leads to a desensitization of such hate
and in turn likely increased aggressiveness toward those others. That will have
an impact on total group performance.
According to the study below hate speech increases prejudice, dehumanization,
and lack of empathy toward out-group members. I'm just working on a thought
experiment where a member of society is hated so radically there are no
backstops to poor behaviors. Its meant to be hypothetical but still very
interesting in the many ways we can sort of think about hate.
Don't think in terms of specific anything as it applies not necessarily to any individual race or religion or politics but to the general concept of hate and its
influence. There may be potentially untapped sources of human capital and
trying to understand how speech improves or deteriorates group performance is
helpful
I know there are lots of opinions on this topic. My focus is on moral conscious
and human performance because they are tied deeply into the human psyche.
When do you think people perform the best or the worst? Notice that the
research says either or making it more of concept that is subjectively
dependent on who is and who isn't in the outgroup. It is a human issue designed
to create social boundaries.
