Ideally, a person would have realized at least a measure a personal growth and increased awareness of self, prompting a sort of inventory taking, where the answers to some relevant self-posed questions may expose a bias or prejudice.It would be unfortunate to ignore what is useful information by making a stereotype connection in favor of a utopian view of the individual as always unique in motives and deeds.

The substance of those prejudices may be the result of nurture, but the framework they operate within are the inherent mechanisms of cognition, the nature of the beast.All I know is that prejudices of any sort are learned behaviors. No one is born that way.
"The voice of the intellect is a soft one, but it does not rest until it has gained a hearing. Finally, after a countless session of rebuffs, it succeeds. This is one of the few points on which one may be optimistic about the future of mankind." Sigmund Freud.

Just a habit, because I do write quite a bit, often taking brakes to lurk here and there; that has a lot to do with the formal tone spilling over into forum posts. It betrays me some, because my persona is far from what you and others can probably imagine.Jezus, Carlin, are you an English professor?
