Exploring Culture, Physiology, and Societal Systems for a Safer World
Culture and physiology are intertwined, not distinct entities. Efforts to create a safer world and a utopian society must consider the need to work within the existing physiological constraints. To build a safer society, it's crucial to reform educational and prison systems while also implementing strategies to deal with potentially dangerous individuals. Responsibility attribution should be reduced, and understanding the biological underpinnings of behavior is essential. The example of how understanding schizophrenia shifted from blaming mothers to recognizing neurochemistry illustrates this phenomenon. Cultural influences play a significant role in shaping societal perceptions and responses to various issues, highlighting the need for a holistic approach to creating a safer world.
