Responses to Consistency Conundrum
I think that people reject prejudiced social beliefs thqat was acceptable 100 years ago because people of today have the benefit of history to tell them how engaging in such behavior was detrimental it society as a whole. Once people saw first hand how moally wrong and socially damaging such social norms were, they are now cognizant in
Society has grown much more tolerant. As more people become educated they no longer believe in the foolish prejudices of the past. It is also no longer socially acceptable to hold these prejudice beliefs, thus some people may keep these thoughts to themelves. There are also more positive role models for different races and religions, making us more likely to be familiar with them in a positive way.
I think that as a society, we are becoming more and more tolerant, and less open to prejudice. I would think that we are learning from our mistakes, and trying to pass down better values to our children, grandchildren, etc. I think this would explain the hift in our thoughts over the past hundred years. For me, this is an important part of raising my kids. I don't want to see them make the same mistakes. I want them to live in a better world.
Because humans hundreds of years ago did not have the same access to information and technology as we do. They were more intrinsic in that they were more natural without all the man-made technology that we have access to today. I feel like we are more advnced than them, and more... man-made rather than natural.
People are much more willing to accept that everyone is equal and that they are no inherient differences between us beyond the visual differences. Skin color does not make up a persons worth or value. We are who we are despite what we look like.
Wow, I'm really stuck on this. I can't formulate a good answer for this. The wording of this question is quite difficult and I'm not exactly sure what I'm being asked. This is very difficult and I wish I could have some more information or
Because, I guess, people just believe we all think that everyone thinks we are all equal now. I'd say that is because we hear so many things about equality in the news, in school, wherever, that its ingrained in our heads. Also, a black dude being presidet probably has something to do with it nowadays. Whenever I see someone say how racist America is, I always bring that point up to shut them up. I do not believe the US is 0% racist, but people, Democrats mainly, blow it completely out of proportion nowadys. Besides, racism will never, ever be gone.
Even though people are intrinsically the same, our environment is different from 100 years ago. We are exposed to a much more diverse popultation that those from 100 years ago. Also, we have access to much more information about the world than we did 100 ears ago. People are basically the same, but have access to much more information and are exposed to more experiences.
I think it depends on the region they grow up in and the people that influenced them. Certain areas tend to have more racist beliefs that don't change, while other areas tend to change. The same goes for beliefs regarding homosexuality. If people are raisd hearing these beliefs they will probably repeat what they are hearing. Children are greatly influenced by their parents' beliefs and opinions. Religio
I could answer this question if I knew what the word "intrinsic" means, but I don't. Otherwise, people are simply more tolerant today than they were 100 years ago. That's the best I can do.
I feel that people reject prejudiced social beliefs from many years ago because we have grown smarter as a race. As society grows and becomes closer we are able to understand that prejudices are unfair to people and society in general. One of the key factrs to bringing society closer than ever before is the advent of the Internet. We live in an age where someone from the United States can converse with someone from Qatar as if they were next door neighbors. this allows citizens of the world to become morefamiliar with each other and their cultures. Thus people are able to see that everyone is a human and doesn't deserve to be negatively judged based on prejudices. People are thus more welcoming and friendly with each other because we interact in human way, rather than just reading about different cultures or hearing about them through the eyes of someone else.
I believe that people today tend to reject prejudiced social beliefs because of the ease of information transfer that is now available. Now that people can easily and freely discuss their views and ideas and concerns openly and with many other people, it s safer to stand by your beliefs. A hundred years ago a lot of people might have also rejected the same beliefs but the overwhelmingly popular opinion was against them. People tend to behave as the masses do, not necessarily how they genuinely feel. Howevr, today people can escape the hive
I believe that people reject those beliefs because they realize its immoral. Although there is no difference between the people today and last century, they are still people. I believe in some form or another the moral fiber has changed a little. People fnally realized that we are all human and should be treated as so. This country has become more
Back in the day it seems that people were more cruel to those who are different. Our minds seem to automatically go to that place. As we have evolved as a society, we have realized that this makes no logical sense. So, even though it might be our instict to hold things against someone who is different than us, Our knowledge and intelligence causes us to reject those notions.
I think people are too afraid to change their prejudices and beliefs based upon what their ancestors, grandparents, previous generations etc have instilled in them. Many people are uninformed about their decisions and don't
Because back then people did not respect the rights of the oppressed. The oppressed were viewed as lower than animals in the "rights" department. There was also decades of a prejudiced media that helped mold people's views against
This is kind of a trick question because we are intrinsicly different now, unless you mean biologically. So then the social aspect of it has changed yes. We confine our self to social norms and these norms evolve with society and morality changes with socety. Morality is not an intrinsic quality, but a development we make as a society.
I believe that people today are generally more open-minded and accepting than in the past. This is due in large part to advances in technology that have made it easier to travel to different places and communicate quickly with people from vastly differentbackgrounds. Knowing someone personally who may be a different race, religion, or sexual orientation, etc. makes it harder to hold on to ignorant prejudices against them. Openness
People want separation between their current selves and people from the "past" because the latter were full of ridiculously hurtful prejudices. Even though people still have the capability to be racist, sexist, or whatever-ist today, they tamp down on thoe feelings in order not to seem like a jackass.
The transition from agrarian life to industrial living has meant a great deal of change for social beliefs. First and foremost, industrialization generally meant that you were more likely to interact with people not exactly like yourself. In a homogenous ulture, you would rarely encounter those who weren't the same ethnicity from you. As information and education became more common for the masses thanks to industrialization, misconceptions about other ethnicities became less common. As the prompt posits, e have not instrinsicly changed from a hundred years ago. However, fear is derived from the lack of knowledge about something. As we learn more, we tend to fear less.
I think in the past people have justified these type of prejudiced beliefs in ways that make no sense to us today. For example, during the 1800's people justified slavery by saying that blacks for intellectually inferior to whites. However, we know today hat this is not true. I also think our understanding of science has helped us realize that people are not really that different from one another and this has helped us get over some of the old prejudices from the past.
There is an increased ability to migrate today, which was very difficult 100 years ago. This brings groups (since immigrants often initially live in clusters) into contact. While this creates conflict at first, societies must find some way to alleviate onflict, and social pressure is a natural (that is, not top-down or intentional) way that this happens. What also comes with contact i
Our prejudices began to change with the hard work of people like MLK, but it was only possible because we were becomin a more educated society. By the time the first true changes started in the 60's our younger people were in a an educational system wher they could develop these changes. I also think that the fact that we had just finished WWII, and dealt with the prejudices of the Nazis helped us be willing to
There was no intrinsic difference between people 100 years ago and people came to realize that. So what has changed is the perspective of the observers. Their perspective has become closer to being rational and they reject those who would be unfair andirrational. Also there are elements of guilt and of mass adherence to political correctness. It is the thing to do to strongly reject prejudice. So there is still a strain of irratinali
I think that it is due to increasing social pressures. It started with just a few people puting the preasure on. Then there were a few more and a few more, etc... Also, people some people have become more enlightened and less afraid of different races.
People today reject prejudiced social beliefs from a hundred years ago on intrinsic grounds because we live in a very different social sphere today. Ideas, values, culture, and other factors are different and so we look at them differently. While the peope haven't physically changed, their beliefs have evolved in accordance with what's deemed normal and appropriate.
They reject prejudice out of fear of social rejection. Societal beliefs have been manipulated and transformed entirely in the past century. All of those activist movements, sit-ins, and rallies have severely corrupted everyone's free will to express themslves independently. Everyone has to be politically correct, just to seem ordinary. If they're not, they're ostracised
Because what are deemed as social norms has changed significantly. What is morally right or wrong may not have changed but how this is perceived has.
It's easy to assume that the ideas of 100 years ago are just outdated and ignorant. On the whole, people believe that we are much smarter now just because we are more educated. We look down on other nations, as we do our own nation's past achievements andbeliefs. We are arrogant and that is the largest problem in America today. An example of such, is me pointing out that the question infers to 100 years ago, yet speaks of the beginning of the century. The beginning of "the" century was only fourteen yearsago. See how much of a jerk I sound like now?
We have culturally evolved. While we have not changed intrinsically as individuals, and will not do so for millions of years, culture is an ever evolving situation. Our individual make ups take generations to change, while our ideas can change very rapidl.
I think that people today strongly reject prejudiced social beliefs from a hundred years ago on intrinsic grounds for the following reasons: (1) values and morals have changed in society and people have adapted to those changes; (2) people have an intrinic belief that forward progress is important and thus, many of the beliefs from a hundred years ago now appear to be "old-fashioned" social beliefs and thus, people reject those social beliefs on intrinsic grounds; and (3) with the changes in society to cmmunication, people can now communicate much more freely than a hundred years ago and this has opened our eyes up that the socia
People reject prejudiced social beliefs from 100 years ago because society moves in waves, and rejecting prejudice is now the socially acceptable thing to do. During slavery, people would come out and laugh as people were lynched, it was just the groupthnk of the time saying it was ok because everyone was doing it. Now it has been so engrained and reinforced on all sides that prejudice is bad that people just go along with it. I think the world is also becoming more egalitarian as global communication ecomes more prevalent. there's probably a small big of people's minds expanding also. I think we as a race are
people attempt to use these old beliefs in order to divide and conquer. these old time ways are viewed in a negative manner and anyone that uses those thoughts is deemed to be a racist. even though this is not the case. also those people were from anoter time when certain things were acceptable, some things that are done today would have no place in the old days. in most instances people just want to live a life where they can provide for the family and not be interfere
GK Chesterton once said that tradition is giving a voice to the dead. This has been lost in today's society. With all of our technological advances that we depend on so much every day we simply assume that we must be smarter and hence more worthy of detrmining traditions than humanity was a century ago. But how quickly we forget that we are standing on the shoulders of giants and we would not be where we are if not for the advances of humanity in the past. In both the areas of technological advances ad also in culture and social beliefs. There is also some hangover from the 60s mindset which sought to distance ourselves from any institutional control, which includes the social beliefs of the past which were believed to be heavily influenced by the oranizations which were
Prejudicial social beliefs have been rejected due largely to the fact that the average intelligence of the population is much higher than 100 years ago due to . In addition, with the advent of the internet, information is disseminated almost instantaneouly.
People today are musch more cultured and exposed to other concepts and ideas. People are a lot more aware now of social issues and histroies of different peopel cna cultures so they have formed an understanding that certain discrimination is wrong and unjst. It is alomst as if people have learned from past mmistakes to make new choices and formulate new ideas based on the mistakes and problems from prior gnerations. Of course peopel are basically teh same biologically but the mind can change by learning nw things and adapting to how once lives in its surroundings.
Scociety and people have changed and standards of acceptance have evolved with peoples ways of thinking, as it will continue to evolve
I lot of new information is available today that was not available 100 years ago. Based on the new information beliefs have changed. A human progress more knowledge will be gained and new social beliefs will be formed. This is a natural part of humanprogression.
It's like we're smarter now and more open to the sympathies of others. it's an overall positive step in our mental evolution
The context and social environment in which one is raised affects one's understanding of social belief, as well as how much one would consider one's reasoning to be intrinsic. That which seems obvious today would not appear quite as evident in a differentcontext.
Because to say that one has prejudice to a race, gender, or other forms of identification is to kill one's reputation. It is so intrinsic that one appears to lack any sort of clear idea that often people are apt to accept any decision that appears milky a worst crystalline at best. In other words, to have variegated, identifiable ideas is to insist that one is not inline with bleached modernity. It isn't unlike those individuals in past times who would declare ultimate liberation through identifying with he prevailing religious order of their idea, albeit under the orthodox view of the age. It is punitive, dismissive
Because views and perspectives have to change with society and it's advancement, so not taking into account the technological and social advances when considering how we live is foolish. It's like China and many Muslim nations not being able to adapt to te internet and widespread information, and events like the Arab Spring opened doors for their civilians.
Information and travel is more readily available today for people to expose themselves to to reject a lot of bigoted social beliefs from the past.
I have no idea. Because people are dumb and just want to believe whatever they want regardless of what's in front of them.
Because some people are pushing for more equality or could it be that there are actually more people being hurt by these prejudices than people being helped by them.
The last 100 years has brought a lot of "social" changes though. Although physiologically and biologically, humans are the same, our mentality has changed. A hundred years ago we had blatant slavery and segregation of different races, aslthough this stil exists today, it is frowned upon greatly now. People enjoy a bit more equality now than they did a hundred years ago.
This is simply because it was common grounds. It was ok for a white person to own a slave because that's what everyone was doing. They set the rules and they wrote the laws. We've finally come to a better place with changing the rules but that's is why wesay it's ok. Just as it's ok to do certain things today that weren't common back then. It's the same thing. Times change and we adapt with the times.
we have more time to sit back and think about such things. We're not worried about food/healthcare/going to war. So we are revaluating our beliefs and prejudices. Also better forms of communication help spread ideas
Because what's socially acceptable today is different than what was socially acceptable 100 years ago. Times have changed and so have the attitudes of the people.
I think that we have progressed as a society so we dont see those views int he same way. I also believe that since we are more intergrated than ever, those views have been wiped away by the knowledge that we have gained first hand. Now we know not to belive those things because we have seen and experiecned things that have led us to see the views were wrong and way off to begin with.
Peo1ààààple maY have changed from this time. Period however peoples attitude opinions and I'll locks on the world around 9them have changed significantly. I believe this is the reason for the difference
As education improves, we as a people have begun to understand that biologically, there is little difference amongst races & genders. As communication improves throughout the world, we are also better able to recognize that the differences among people tht cause prejudice are superficial at best, and are a reflection of a person's character flaws.
Most people reject prejudiced beliefs from 100 years ago because everyone they have ever met who was alive 100 years ago is now very old or deceased. They only ever knew that person as an elderly member of society, whose opinions and beliefs matter less. hey might be cranky, or they might have learned over time that there's no sense holding back and can now freely speak their minds. It is easy to forget that everyone was once young, that everyone once believed their opinions were fresh and new and of highst importance. Even thinking about 100 years is longer than needed -- 30 years is probably sufficient. We believe there is no way we will think or behave like our parents, but most of it is inevitable. Scary! Thank you for reading this, and hopefully it ws not too depressing...
Most people today strongly reject prejudiced social beliefs from 100 years ago because our society in general is becoming more and more tolerant and acceptant of many differences among people.
There have been many events that have influenced the way we feel. 100 years ago, there was a tradition of treating people a certain way and it almost became institutionalized. Now, it is less socially acceptable and so over time it has been bred out of us
People HAVE changed, the racial makeup of the world has changed. That's why.
A hundred years ago people believe that if every person didn't look exactly alike then they should each be treated differently. Also if a person came from a different locations and also a different background then they should be treated differently. Nowa days we are much more acceptable to people that look different than some other individuals but we now know that just because someone looks different than us doesn't necessarily mean that they are not equal to everyone else. Looks can be deceiving so yo want to not judge a book by its cover.
Because of the rights movements that have taken place over the past 100 years to bring equality to unrepresented groups, the new generations that follow these movements begin to embody these ideals as what is right and true. For the younger generations, ll that is known is equality and justice for all, where older generations knew times when certain groups did not look upon everyone as equals.
they are outdated and not relevant to the current generation we are now rethinking on a global scale although this is not positive at all
I believe that as humans evolve they change what they believe in. The past gets old and dated as we learn new things through science and knowledge. Just as in 1000 years from now, we will be looked upon as dated and old in our beliefs.
i think people are even more divided today whether it be race, religion or sex. also believe that social media has a lot to do with influencing our attitudes.
This is a pretty loaded question. First, I would have to disagree that there is basically no intrinsic difference between people today and people from the beginning of the last century. There are quite a few ways in which persons change in the passing o a century, and evolutionary changes are not the sole focus of what makes a person. Social changes, obviously, have occurred to intrinsically change people from today and a century ago. Knowledge has changed, employment practices have changed, the worldhas changed and expanded to become a more global community, and so many other aspects that shape a person, both physically but mentally. This is a loaded and faulty question, so the premise cannot really be discussed. Now, if you wanted to change the id
I think people do this because while people themselves are the same, the culture of the society has changed, to where prejudice is unacceptable in the community. Previously these views allowed people to be degraded based purely on the color of their skin r gender, and while people still may hold these views, society overall awards opinion now based on merit, and the worth of a person is gauged by his abilities and his contributions to society.
people are very different than people from last century. The world as a whole has changed drasticly as information is more readily available on everything. Social beliefs have changed because people have become more inform
People grow and evolve their opinions over time. We think of people more as a whole now and think that being prejudice is a bad thing. A hundred years ago people didn't think twice about being prejudice. If that is how you are raised, then you won't know ow to think any differently. People are products of their environment. When one person stands up for something they believe in and think it is wrong, other people will start
I believe that people nowadays have become very politically correct in their belief system. No one wants to be seen as having prejudiced social beliefs. Now a days people can anonymously state their beliefs (prejudiced or notthrough the use of the interne and other social means.
As the world gets "smaller" and people are more interconnected, I think we realize that people are people and those prejudiced beliefs are no longer valid. True, people today are not much different from people 100 years ago, but our interactions across cltures and races have opened us up to understand people of other backgrounds/races/cultures in a way that wasn't possible 100 years ago. I also do believe that we are capable of learning from our mistakes and when we see the prejudiced ways of our ancestrs (literally or figuratively), we realize that they were mistaken in their beliefs and that
Though people have not changed, our society has. A lot of prejudiced social beliefs were held for misguided reasons, reasons that we have now worked through as a society and realize don't hold up. Popular opinions change over time.
Most probably because people are more educated and learn about a wider variety of subjects than 100 years ago. For example people today accept things like voting rights for women, civil rights, social security, and the United Nations when they were nearlyunknown 100 years ago. Also modern devices like the internet have increased
People seem to think that humans have become more enlightened over the years and learned from their mistakes. Also it is said that these times were different since social norms allowed for such prejudice.
Socially, we have changed. We may be essentially the same, but society changes with the times. There have been many people who have fought for this change to happen and to stop prejudice. We are more focused on stopping this prejudice.
I think people reject social prejudices from a hundred years ago because society itself is evolving. Overall, there is more awarness and acceptance of equality today than in the previous hundred years. There are still prejudiced individuals, but it is les acceptable to say or do prejudiced things in society. Society is changing so individual behaviors must change as well.
People are finding out equality is better for us overall. We have smarter, more informed people nowadays, and social media has people seeing the effects of prejudice every day. Things change naturally over time as well, as social norms are always fluid. Scial issues also get more coverage on the news and are big political talking points.
I feel like there needs to be a bit more elaboration with this prompt but on a basic level I would say that conditioning, modeling, education, persuasion, etc. play a significant role in an individual's perception and behavior in this regard. Also, the pespective is one that is 'outside' so the actions and behaviors can be understood in a different way.
people today strongly reject the prejudice social beliefs although things have changed because the feel as though if they accept them then they can be put back down to the way things were a hundred years ago as far as inequality and discriminations. theydont want to start accepting this prejudice because they dont want to reverse all the progress of civil rights movements.
I'm not even sure exactly what this question means. I think the social norms and what has been deemed as socially acceptable or rejected now compared to back then has much to do with the overall social attitudes and morals changing as a group of humans oer time. Remember, at different points in the past, it was okay to have little boys as essentially sex toys, and to have a mistress was something you were supposed to do for higher social standing.
Because every generation since has been raised to be more and more tolerant, and that is widely accepted as the right way to be.
Because peoples thoughts and feelings change overtime. What was once thought to be acceptable is no longer the case. Sometimes people adapt for a better social goodness. Like people nolonger have slaves becuase that is concidered to be socially unacceptabe. It is not concided right to own another person. But in the 1800 it was an acceptable practice. People change and with that comes development of the whole human race.
People have more access to information so they think they are exposed to more
I think the main reason is people are much more knowledgebal these days. They are able to see that prejudice is wrong from the much wider views people now have. This is mainly due to people being much more educated and able to read at a higher level. Throgh this, they are able to see that people are very similar and prejudice is not the right thing. Also the advancement in technology plays a big role in this. We are now able to experience many more cultures, and we can see just because they might be diffeent, does not mean that they are wrong. They are not anything to be afraid of. but are great to learn from and better our own selves.
I think people are smarter now. I think also the social acceptability of some of the thoughts has decreased. I think people are less likely to approve of others performing in such a way. I think that stops people, but I think it also increases the likelihod that people are taught to know/do better now as compared to then so that more people are genuinely unhappy about these kinds of prejudices etc.
Society has changed so much over the years that the majority of people from an extremely young age are told that having prejudices is bad. This may feel like it is something intrisic but it is also a product of the enviroment and time period they grew upin. Had they been born 100 years ago what they thought as intrisic might be different. Prejudices are learned behaviors we arent born with them.
I think that more people are educated on the topic than they were 100 years ago and today many more people have a voice with the different social media outlets. Society has change what is acceptable than what it was back then.
People reject prejudiced social beliefs now because the social pressure is greater now to conform to public standards.100 years ago the public was much more accepting of racial bias so people were less likely to abandon their previously held
Times have changed. People are the same. We are different and I think the world is coming to know and embrace that more. We try different foods. We marry into other races. We visit other countries. No, it's not perfect, and there will always be racism andprejudices, but time has changed people's hearts and minds for the better. We realize how much we missed out on with prejudice. We have teachers and thinkers and doctors who wouldn't have been respected years ago, and today we look up to them.
I think that just like the human race has evolved over the years that society itself has also evolved. Society though has been evolving at a much quicker rate recently because of the vast wealth on information available and the ease of getting an educatin in most major countries. This has allowed for people to realize more and more the equality and standards that we should live by. For
I think this is mostly due to media and social pressure. Listen, prejudice thoughts exists for a reason. I deal with them, almost everyone has to deal with them. I personally think people are often too sensitive about these topics.
I do not know how to answer this other than to say that people are not intrinsi
I think the social attitude has changed a lot between now and a hundred years ago. People have become intrinsically more progressive.
I think the premise of the question is flawed. I think that many people still are very prejudiced like they were 100 years ago. But today, most people won't say this sort of thing because they'll get into trouble for it. People today are just as dumb and rejudiced as 100 and 1000 years ago, and will probably be that way for the foreseeable future. I'm not sure what can be done to change that.
While there is no intrinsic difference between people now and in the past, cultural and societal values have fluctuated to an extent. Social behaviors are a constantly changing phenomenon and what was considered the norm 100 years ago may bee seen as tabo or unacceptable in the present. It is also possible that people nowadays hold the same beliefs but are more reserved or cautious about expressing them due to public opinion. I'd wager that social beliefs are for the most part the same but more restraied when being discusse
I think it comes to how people are raised and how they are navigated to few other wether superior or below them. It's the same story that will happen for hundreds of years because time changes but for the most part people don't.
Because the act of rejecting the beliefs makes the person rejecting it feel as if they are on the right side of history. Becasue of the overwhelming negative stigma that comes with prejudiced social beliefs, you would be hard-pressed to find anyone who ouwardly identifies with these beliefs, although privately many would agree with their principles. In all, rejecting them--even if they are sincere--is an act of elevating one's sense of self above
Because people have evolved and realize things from the past are a lot different from things now. It is hard to believe that a thing such as slavery existed not that long ago. People realize the social mistakes from the past and are now more welcoming andwarm to others. It is true that people aren't much different, but the setting and the way people want to be perceived is a lot different now, all for the better.
I think it's because information is spread more widely and much faster. Everyone can now know what is going on very shortly after it happened. Also, we can produce a video or pictures of events and spread them world wide very quickly. If the whole counry could see prejudice when it happens, then we can react
i really don't know the answer to this question or understand it well enough to provide a good response. but i believe that people today are more intelligent to realize that beliefs can change and people will stay the same.
Because people today feel that prejudices long ago hold no merit in today's world.
I believe times have changed and people have grown more accustomed to the social beliefs and are ok with it now then years ago. Religion has subsided a bit and no one really is that strict anymore.
I think it's because people today have been taught that everyone is the same inside regardless of what they look like on the outside. I believe what you're taught when you're a child will stick with you forever and it is very hard to change your beliefs. know some older people who are 80+ who still believe in prejudiced social beliefs. It's the way they were taught growing up and it's very har dto change their minds on things.
I think the fact that there is no intrinsic difference between the people of today and the people of 100 years ago is a reason FOR rejecting prejudices rather than a reason against it. We've had an entire additional century to learn so much more about humns and human life, and the limited information that our ancestors had no longer fits our more-informed perspective.
Just as fashion changes, so do cultural attitudes. Influences from the past slowly lose their purchase on the present, and attitudes change. When people around you have particular beliefs, those beliefs seem to be more valid. When no one you know holdsa belief, that belief is more easily rejected.
To be honest, I have no real theory why. I would assume extrinsic factors play a better part - society as a whole is much more accepting in current times as opposed to last century. I would like to think that people back then would have had less prejudice social beliefs if it weren't for a small portion who were a
Although people don't change, physically, their opinions and culture change as time moves forward. There were people in the past who believed cars would never replace horses and that space exploration would never be possible.
Well, the norms of society seem to always be growing as time goes on. Perhaps this is due to peer influence, as well as greater equality and better living conditions. Also, thanks to technology people are able to better connect with people they may not ave in the past. Observing people and seeing that they are really the same as you, when 100 years ago you would have more ignorant assumpations about people you wouldn't get exposed to today. People's environments growing up and into adulthood greatly a
It may not be the people that change it is the mind set and what people are thinking now. It is a slowly revolving process to of behavior that will dictate people's beliefs. We have revolved extensively in the last century
That was a different era with a different mindset between races. Today, people feel the prejudices and racism of that era were completely wrong and were simply based on skin color or country of origin. While these prejudices have have all but been eliminaed, they are still expressed in today's society but in different ways. People use j
Because our environment has changed. There has been a slow collective uprising against these prejudiced beliefs, peaking in the 1960s - today, that has, I would argue, made an intrinsic difference between people today and people a century ago. Other factos, such as our emergence as a world superpower and increased education for all of our citizens, have helped facilitate these changes.
I believe there is a difference between people today and people from the last century. Technology has changed the was people think, the way they do things changes way they feel about traditional items. That is why I feel people reject belief's from 100 yars ago because of the way things are being performed. That is all I have to say on this topic.
Although people themselves might be the same on some level, times change. Situations are different, which can cause people to alter their opinions. For instance, years ago, you would never see a black person hold a high position. Now, we have Barrack Obam as a president of the US. This shows that attitudes can change, even though biologically, people are the same.
People do not reject prejudices today. They are taught to hide their prejudices and show the "correct" behavior.
Peoples opinions have changed a lot in the past hundred years, and it mainly depends on what your opinion is now in comparison to whether you want to throw the century-old opinions in the trash or not. People are the same, but we've grown up in different orlds, so we were taught to believe different things, so it doesn't matter if the equation is the same, the answer can sometimes be different. Neither is right, but it's easier to go with how we believe in things today just because it takes more effort ifyou are trying to argue something that is over one hundred years old. Everybody's opinions matt
society is trying to be more open, less judging on traditional prejudices. trying to be more open-minded and understanding towards differences. the world is not as closed minded or as far away as it was indeed believed. other than that, i really have no oher idea or beliefs on this topic.
I am not really sure why. Perhaps as people integrate more and get to know people of other social groups their bias against them declines, assuming their interactions are positive. Improved technology and transportation has shrunk the country in a sense hat allows for more interaction and easier exchange of ideas that can break preconc
The context of humanity has changed between now and a hundred years ago. Integration is ever present in the United Sates and as people integrate they realize that all people are very similar. Also, people are subjected to way more infomation about each oter now.
The rejection of prejudiced social beliefs rely on the explanations they are given to base said determinations on, so while the differnce between eras are minimal on a base level, the phrasing of the question withing certain given context does enough to ifluence a response. Trends and the way facts are presented also tend to affect general opinion skewing results.
Social standards are ever-changing, even though biologically we are not different from our counter-parts 100 years ago, the social and cultural differences are extreme. We reject some of their beliefs, because our own social beliefs have evolved beyond tht. While biological evolutions take millions of years, social and cultural evolutions only take decades. It is very difficult to change the hivemind, but when it changes, it is even more difficult to change back.
because people are influenced by society. society was once controlled by only a small percentage of the wealthiest people and over time the rest of the population has fought for rights, some of which were gradually given because numbers are power and if eople are denied everything they will rise up, but if they are given a bit here and there the progre
Even if we do assume that there is no intrinsic difference between the people today and the people in the last century, we must take into account the fact that the ways that we perceive the world (and therefore those people who inhabit the world) today ar vastly different than those of the people of the last century. We have changed our ideological standpoint, with the help of both social consciousness and scientific discoveries, and no longer harbor beliefs that have been challenged and found extremely wnting. There is no reason that we should not change our beliefs over time if they are found to be lacking in their basic foundations, and today we are striving toward a greater understanding of each other so we can build beliefs about each other that makemore sense than previous id
Over the years people change . Newer tecnology and all these new generations want to be more open and are more open minded about things . People seem to want to all be diffrent and so new trends start.
I believe that it comes from realizing how very wrong these prejudices were, and how they prevented us from becoming a more united society. Despite humans being the same physically for the most part, our thinking constantly grows and changes. Social belies also just naturally tend to change with the times, and what is "in fashion", as it were. New evidence also helps to dispel some of these prejudices
I don't think that we do reject all prejudiced social beliefs. Ther is still plenty of prejucice in the world which has been passed down
Culture changes, society's views change and mankind progresses. there is no value to hang on to older beliefs if they don't serve a person. Though generations try to pass on belief systems to their young, thankfully, the young rebel and change how they hink about things. There are some constants that are passed along, mainly rebellion against the previous generation, but the envelope is always pushed in order to see how the next generation can effect the world. We all want to make a mark on the worl
We have become a more tolerant and open minded society and don't just adhere to old beliefs when deciding on how to think. We can see people for how they are and not based on what they look like or belive, for the most part.
People like to think that they have changed from a hundred years ago. People like to think that they are better and more informed than people of 100 years ago. There is much more interaction between different sects of people nowadays due to much greater iteraction between people due to technology, transportation, immi
People reject these beliefs because of an overall shift in the cultural paradigm. The groups against whom the prejudices apply were historically groups with very little power, often immigrants who had not yet assimilated. For fear of sounding racist, thes groups were far more representative of stereotypes then than they were today. Due to fewer cultural differences and increased power among these groups, people exhibit less prejudice. Also, people are more exposed to, and knowledgable bout other cultures.
This is the nature of evolution. Though many believe evolution is an exclusively physical development, there are aspects or social, emotional and mental that evolve quicker than physical evolution. The social and emotional aspects that evolve are what wil make people change their attitudes on prejudiced beliefs. There is more a sense of guilt, due to social evolution, that leads to the natural belief that things that happened in the past were wrong, because they feel shame
I believe that people reject these notions because although there is no intrinsic difference between people today and in the past. there is a change in the way people think and feel. The rejection of these beliefs may be solely from social pressure but I eel that humans have the ability to evolve beyond what they are and do so in a continual fashion. Time change and so do the people who live in those times.
The world, and the people in it have evolved. Beliefs are bound to change. It is human nature. Other people, and minority groups, have become more widely accepted in the world. Prejudice still exists to this day, but it is evolving just like everything ele.
People a hundred years ago read books and studied with less distractions than today. With computers today we don't do as muc
I think that reason why people today reject some prejudiced social beliefs from the past is because of so called forward/progressive thinking. Some people today feel that they're more sophisticated now than before and that any long held beliefs should be hanged/ignore. People by nature are still the same today as they were a hundred years ago. The only difference is th
The beliefs of people one hundred years ago were based on social norms of the time. they were formed around the standards they were taught and in semi-isolation. With comunication standards of today it's much harder to maintain a stereotype. Especially on which has no basis in fact. In short
I believe it mainly has to do with our opinions of what is actually right and what isn't now. Previously, that was all we had ever known so it seemed right to accept it and act that way, when in reality it isn't ethical in the slightest. I think that is robably the main difference between people now and back when those social belie
Laws have changed. People are different today because they have seen the effects of past laws based on prejudice. They see the damage it has
It is part of human nature to learn from our own individual past mistakes as well as societal mistakes. As we learn more about ourselves and our enviroment we are constantly individually and collectively changing our beliefs and therefore our belief systms. Even as we grow up we are constantly remolding ourselves, our beliefs, our values as life happens to us. Every event that happens as we grow up and mature affects how we see ourselves and the world- that is why there are generational difference fromthe WWII era and the Vietnam War era. Times change with new technological innovations, new discoveries, and even "fads". All social change starts small and as the new way of thinking be
I believe that social norms have a big impact on how humans behave. If you grew up in a time where you were instilled with racism and prejudice and saw it all around you, then you would be much more likely to engage in these behaviors. As times changed an people raised their children with different values the thoughts and behaviors of people changed as well. There is a lot of debate of nature versus nurture and I think in this instance that nurture has a lot to do with these changes that a
i really can't explain this for some reason but if i had to i would say that people now a days, are more ea
Ideas are constantly changing, particularly about humanity. As we have become more knowledgeable about the human body and mind, as well as the exposure to other cultures and societies via globalization and the internet, we have discovered there is very lttle difference between the "us" and the "them." Thus, there is no quality of humanness, regardless of race, age, sexual orientation, or mental capacity.
The change is a result of acceptable beahavior and treatment altering over time.
I think people are like that because in todays society more people are judging. There is a huge social media outlook on life that if you do anything that is perceived to be wrong people will judge you on that. If it does not go along with what society wans than you will be an outsider.
Because later generations reject most aspects of the lives of previous generations. That's how we evolve.
I don't know why people today react differently, I guess because we are more of a global world now and we have more interactions with people from all over the world. We are much more educated now as well. I'm really just saying things, I really don't know If I were to
because things were so much different back then. So much that we have learned over the last 150 years is simply amazing. Scientists have proved many things since back then. people have grown and learned so much about other races since then also.
Society has progressed to become more accepting of others. We are less fearful of the unknown than we were from 100 years ago.
I don't have any idea what that means. If it means why do we reject prejudiced beliefs it's because we are getting better as a society and are able to better understand that different doesn't always equal bad.
because of social stigma. we believe we are better today than we were a hundred years ago. that we have better technology, knowlege, and information than they had 100 years ago. It's a never ending cycle. In a hundred years, people will still be the same Every day we are stronger and better than the day before. We learn and evolve. However, they say history repeats itself.
One reason is that people today want to believe that they are special and different, or even, better than those of the past. Contemporary societies seem to place a high value on percieving themselves as more evolved than those of even previous living geneations. Why is this important? Well, that would take some time to explain or theorize about. The bottom line is that this pattern seems to repeat throughout history even if iin many ways it does not hold true. Sometimes the belief in question is
The reason that people reject these prejudices is because society has shown the true nature of the people being prejudiced against. There is also a vast more amount of knowledge that each person has access to. This allows for a much better ability to makea good educational decsion without allowing the people around them
People have stood up to fight for the rights of those previously prejudiced against and changed the views of those who previously did not like them/
People reject prejudiced social beliefs because they've been exposed to more diversity. People are not as isolated any longer. People of color, women, jews, etc. have made strides that upset the view that they are less than. People are more educated. Assuptions are challenged more now than they were then (for the general public).
Its called evolution. As humans we have evolved in oru thought process which has enabled us to look past those stereotypes that were formed many years ago. They had nothing to do with us and how we see things. They were formed by people who came before uswho werent open minded and didnt feel the need to actually research before forming opinions. So with that lack of knowledge and the fact that they didnt want to do anything in order to imrpve themselves, left them with those idiotic thoughts.
because we judge before we t hink how it will affect the other person and not caring about others feelings as much.
Social attitudes have changed radically over the course of the last century even if people haven't necessarily changed on an intrinsic level. It's not about people, it's about how we see people.
Because society has evolved somewhat to understand the inequity involved with retaining intrinsic stereotyped beliefs. Moreover, it is not considered politically or socially correct to accept such beliefs in today's society, As a result, even those who mght prefer to remain prejudiced, (an perhaps, eep down are),
I honestly have no idea because I do not know what intrinsic means.
Because people do not want to believe that people can be as ignorant and prejudiced as people were years ago.
People today go on the premise that they are more intelligent than people from a hundred years ago based on our technology and what seems normal to us. We never stop to think about
People are changing for the better through growing up in a more diverse environment than they did 100 years ago.
I think people reject social beliefs from a hundreds years ago we know more about the world around us today and how much more we are connected to everyone across the world these days. I think globalization has had a big effect on how we perceive society.
Time has changed over the last 100 years and there is a difference between people from today and people from the beginning of the last century. The people of today, through generations have been programed through various systems in place.
Because technology has advanced and people became more knowledgeable when it came to the sciences. Therefore, people know more because we have more data that was can find and research. People 100 years ago only had to rely on myths and guesses. The medica field was basically a wait-and-see type of business, with no guarantees.That has changed today because we now know causes and effects of many things. It is a much different world, although people have mostly stayed the same. We are more advanced now.
Because although there is no intrinsic difference between people today and people 100 years ago, a vast amount of knowledge has been collected that has disproved many of the stereotypical beleifs that prejudices were founded upon. Earlier prejudices were ased on falsehoods that were labled as facts, ex. that african americans had smaller brains, this led to people believing
The flow of information and the ability for travel has opened the minds of people a great deal. Previously, seeing people different than you was a rare sight and folks from far away were a rare occurrence. Now, people can travel all over the world and wll see new places all the time, so seeing a foreign traveler is not as rare an instance. More exposure to people of other races and with different points of view can serve to open the minds of people and make them become more tolerant. This gradual openng of the mind leads to a change in society where open minds are more common and allowing other beliefs is no lon
Society has changed in terms of what's more acceptable today and it continues to change since our thoughts and acceptance continue to change. We now know, for the most part, that being prejudiced towards someone based on gender, race, or religion is wrongfor the most part and that it isn't acceptable in a modern society where working together in an environment is much more common. So while people haven't changed, our way of thinking has.
Because people hate change and grow up to what their parents believe. Parents have a big responsibility in what their kids are like in the future and can in a way brain wash their children to believe what is right and what is not
As humans evolve they tend to include, rather than exclude, more people into society. The conventions of human social psychology always, with time, become more inclusive and accepting of lifestyles that were previously thought of as worthy of prejudice. In addition, as science and technology foster greater knowledge and creativity, societies' ideas and beliefs towards each other reflect an increase in knowledge and understanding of the way human biology and society interplay with each other. Laws also fster this
The herd moves slowly from one place to another. Often one member of the herd wanders off in a different direction and soon more members of the herd move with it. Today there is more communication channels where information and opinions are flowing rapidl and in more volume. We know more what is happening in the world and much more quickly than we did before. this information causes us to change our beliefs and be more open to new id
That is a fantastic question. Although you posit that there are no intrinsic differences between people today and people of the early last century, there is a terrific amount of difference at the societal level. For example, we now know that people of Arican descent are not "sub-human", as was once believed. Furthermore, our society has become "intolerant to intolerance". Much of this shift is likely a result of a greater understanding of different cultures and perhaps even globalization.
Because everything that a human being thinks, is derived from their experience. We only know what we experience through feeling. It is th common ground among our true self to love one another. We are realizing that we can use our emotions to dictate our eperiences, instead of allowing our experiences to dictate our feelings. The older generation has been fooled and stuck in their ways, but we know the truth, and it spreads like wildfire. Huge changes are on the way.
The prejudiced social beliefs from 100 years ago were based on false beliefs and racist leaders. People today are more educated and informed about social interactions and the media is everywhere reporting everything. If someone is unjustly treated everyne in the world will hear about it and the wrong doer is
I think people are just generally more compassionate now. We're all more connected and can see each other more clearly. I think it used to be easier to see other people in an almost caricature manner. There
It's b/c as a society our beliefs continue to evolve. We become more knowledgeable and thoughtful as more information is gained and shared. We also live in a much different world today; information is shared at the speed of light so we are exposed to diffrent ideas much more quickly than we ever were before.
People reject prejudiced social beliefs from a hundred years ago because they are factually incorrect and morally wrong. They do not reject them because of any changes in intrinsic value. These beliefs are easier to slough off in modern times as educatin and affluence is more prevalent than in the past. More value is placed on the individual and less is placed on group collective stereotypes as it should be. Ignorance is fought by education, learning, and diversity. This century has much more of thes characteristics than the times of yore.
The collective beliefs of societty have shifted from a more insecure, and ignorant social perspective toward groups that are different than one's own. Advances in the number of educated individuals as compared to 100 years ago has also had a huge impact o the way we form social pre
Because they are so caught up in how life is now. They also cannot wrap their mind around people living differently.
Mainly because we are a more educated people now, supposedly. We have advanced so far in every scientific field that we know that much of how people from a hundred years ago thought about just about everything, from a scientific point of view, is false. It's impossible to say that as a blanket statement because there might be a few things they did better or more ethically than us, but that is a very subjectivie speculation.
People reject prejudiced social beliefs from a hundred years ago because they are dated ideas, the product of the culture at the time. People are not intrinsically different today, but our mindset as a society is constantly evolving and changing. Ideas, epecially those e
As the communication gap grows shorter, social beliefs from around the world are more easily intermingled and analyzed by a global audience. For instance, people in a nation that allows
Because human knowledge and concepts of social justice evolve over time. What was acceptable 100 years ago...women not being able to vote for example...was accepted as common practice. But progress is constant, if not slow, and slowly prejudices evolve nd hopefully disappear over time.
Because they have decided the basis on which those prejudiced social beliefs were based to be false. We can improve ourselves as a society without the actual people in the society changing physically or biologically. I think to use that line of thinking i extremely concerning for the growth of a population
Thoughts change constantly, so the mind set of people today is completely different from the mindset of even people thirty years ago. In a sense, people a hundred years ago would be completely lost in our world and not know what to do. Our prime decisionsare not based on protection and food anymore. We can just go down the store and be fine. We are involved in a society where socialization and popularity is importance. Even science has a smaller contribution today that it would of had 100 years ago. The wrld is much smaller and in every way completely different. So what w
I think our society has been become much more transpaprent over the last 100 years beacuse of TV, scoail media, and many ofther factors. As a result, people have tried to reject prejudiced beliefs so they are not held to public scrutiny. Deep down, many o these people may still hold these prejudiced beliefs but try to hide them from the rest of society.
I think that people today reject prejudiced social believes from a hundred years ago because people today generally realize that all people should be treated equally and fairly. Even though the people have not changed much, the mindset has changed. Its ust not fair to treat people differently because of minor differences. 100 years ago, the mindset was very different,
The culture has changed. We are more educated than before. We had a couple of wars since the turn of the century where we were forced to work together for a common goal and that has brought people together. Then we have all of the movements from groups ofpeople which are considered admirable and inspirational. Simply the culture has changed in America. We are a more accepting group of people now and finally coexist with everyone with minimal squabble.
Because people are more open minded these days. We have had lots of advances in civil rights. We no longer use science to support claims that white people are superior to black people. With the internet you get to interact with a lot more people than you ould have 100 years ago. I can go online right now and talk to all types of people, whereas 100 years ago that was not the case and I'd only be exposed to the people close to me and my region.
Because people are much more intrinsically different from our
I think that as a whole, there has been more emphasis placed on individualism and the rights of individual people, which in turn has lead to greater equality. People are less inclined to group people into static social groups, at least compared to 100 yeas ago. If you have to see someone as an individual, you're less likely to oppress them.
People today are slowly realizing just how beneficial it is to be nice to everyone, as it really gets people to work together and worry about problems as one unit, rather than dividing everyone. I think that it is just nicer to live in a place where morepeople love everyone that is different from themselves, than one where everyone is scared of and hates people that are different.
The reason for this is because people can not see beyond the past especially in the south. They try to link everything to slavery which causes every group to be on high alert of each other. It is all non-sense and should be stopped. People are re
People today strongly reject prejudiced social beliefs because those beliefs are no longer politically correct and are no longer generally accepted. Also, laws have changed which make people question prejudiced beliefs. Another reason might be that peopletoday interact more with people who are outwardly different to themselves a
i think people reject social beliefs becsause of the chhanges in our world. The views are now different and there is less disrespect based on race. Other than this I cannot come up with something else
I'm sitting here and can't come up with anything, I can't explain this. I just want to think about baseball :(
People strongly reject prejudiced social beliefs from a hundred years ago because of pressures from society. People are so worried about being politically correct as to not offend anyone. A lot of people in society are very easily offended and actually sem to go around looking for something offensive they can get upset at. When someone is offended over something you say, you're either racist or sexist. Offending someone
I think this happens because just like humans evolved from apes, society evolves too. Things can't stay the same as they were 100 years ago. A lot has changed, and we as humans have learned a lot over time. It would be ignorant to stick to the same belefs that were popular many years ago. Now we know that racism, for example, is not right and we went through a big change in our country to end it. This is just one example of old prejudiced social beliefs that are outdated and re
I believe today with the easier access to information and global communication people are better educated and see prejudice for what it is and reject it better then years ago.
People feel this way because we are still connected to our past and by keeping traditions, even prejudices, alive it keeps us connected to our ancestors.
Societal norms are the essential factor behind determining most individuals' beliefs. Due to the fact that society normalized a fair amount of prejudiced beliefs from a hundred years ago, most individuals within such a society would accept them. Now that hose norms have changed however, most individuals in our current society follow the new norms. Some individuals in both instances held or hold unorthodox beliefs, certainly, but the majority of beliefs across the spectrum of population is due to societal orms.
I think the world is much more interconnected and people today are much more aware of the vast differences in the world in terms of cultures, traditons and beliefs. As a result the amount of prejudice is much less. Also ther eis more educaiton as well andthat helps to reduce the level of ignorance and prejudice. History has also demonstrated that prejudiced beliefs can be very harmful and are seldom based on any realistic phenomena.
I would say we've had time to think about things and had time to see what happens with social prejudice. Most people reject injustice and social intolerance now and I think logic has brought us to this point.
I cant explain my answer. I guess it because of the differnt generation that is apon us today.
I do not understand the question therefore I do not know an answer.
People just feel the way the want to feel, regardless of what facts are present. You cannot change how someone inheritly feels about a certain thing. Sometimes, it takes a miracle, or a loss for them to want to understand the hard truth.
People are myopic and proud; we assume that our perspective on social beliefs is the most correct, most progressive one, and (at least implicitly) that people of the past were less intelligent in their decision-making. So we elevate our own contemporary, nlightened views as supremely correct even when we have no reason to. Although there is warrant to rejecting certain social beliefs; there HAVE been developments in sociology and science that give us great cause to reject many social beliefs from 100 year ago.
That's an interesting question. It seems obvious that the majority of people understand that these beliefs were unacceptable. But what brought on this change in a relatively short period of time is hard to figure out. I don't really have an answer for thi.
Those people must have had ancestors who had those prejudice beliefs that they carried on their beliefs from generation to generation. Now those people today believe in their generations teaching. Thats why I believe these people can't know what is right rom wrong since they have a whole generation of family giving them the wrong impressions and beliefs.
I'm sorry. I don't have an answer to the question.
We reject prejudice in the present age because we fear being compared to the past societies. Unfortunately, Caucasians were the cause of a lot of racism in the past, mostly towards African Americans and the so-called 'immigrants.' We reject the practices f our former selves in order to not be compared to our former selves; we reject racism out of fear, as well as decency. People of the new millennium were not raised with the belief a particular race was inferior, and therefore we do not believe in these deas
I feel that due to more exposure to different cultures and social beliefs have made it easier to reject prejudiced beliefs from a hundred years ago. Also, the saving face of society and not trying to look like a bigot. Pressure from not looking like an utcast due to your views. Media exposure and over saturating the views of equality.
Because people got super soft and sensitive, and now they never want to offend everyone to the point that it has gotten a bit ridiculous how careful everyone is. So people probably feel the same way they just don't want to admit it. Their thought process ikely hasn't changed, just their willingness to show it has, because they don
People are more sophisticated and educated than 100 years ago. In addition, communication technology has advanced to the point that injustices are made public very quickly and are therefore more readily addressed.
People believe that we have become more civilized over the last 100 years. The rules and social norms are a lot different in this generation than they were a hundred years ago and people reject the social beliefs of that time.
Because thinking has evolved in that timespan
People today reject strongly prejudiced social beliefs from 100 years ago because they have learned from mistakes of their ancestors. The civil rights movement and others showed people that their views from the past were wrong. I believe that 100 years frm now, people will look back and believe that we have some prejudiced views today as well. Society will continue to advance socially as time goes on and we learn more about others.
Social media is the a big reason for forming people's belief system. 100 yers ago people only knew about other belief systems and social beliefs via word of mouth or the crude news reporting systems that existed. Today, that has completely changed. Peoplehave much more information and more information more quickly. Almost as if there is an information overload. Decisions, whether right or wrong, are much more informed.
Beliefs from a long time ago may be rejected because of facts, information, and technologies that may prove these facts false. also, i disagree with the assumption that there is no intrinsic difference between people now and back then. Differences exist ecause of technology, belief system, background, where people live and those differences weren't as pronounced back then or noticeable. The beliefs in relation to transportation have changed htrough our years of experience an
This social construct has not changed in the last 100 years. What you have found is that the prominence of those have these beliefs have been overshadowed by those who do not. There are always those who believe and do not believe. It is more of a measue of sway and evolution. Those that were already accepting are more likely to continue to accept differences and thus grow their position and presence. Those linked to social prejudice are less likely to accept change and free thought and thus retain thir beliefs with little change
I feel society is slowly becoming more and more socially conscious and aware of other people on this planet. A century ago, it was believed that non-whites were to be inferior or subhuman. Yes, there are still individuals who believe this still around butoverall, there is a higher connection of people now and more empathy for those who we consider different. I feel this to be a very important factor from then and now.
Social and cultural differences. Physically and spiritually humans remain the same. it is the cultural that to a certian degree allows them to act out on their nature, better yet, express their nature. the end result never really changes, just who is rght and who is wrong...
I think this is because knowledge is constantly increasing. We know more now than we did 100 years ago, so we know that the beliefs of the intrinsic nature of people that was held 100 years ago was wrong. Just like many people 100 years ago didn't beliee it was possible for man to fly, they also doubted the mental abilities and basic human nature of some of other groups. They've been proven wrong on both counts now, which is allowing for less prejudice. You can see this by the way the lack of prejudic spreads, typically starting with the educated and working it's way down to the less educated. Since the less educated today are still more educated than the highly educated people from 100 years ago, they do not have the prejudices that they did.
People rejected prejudiced beliefs because we have learned more about ourselves and the world the longer we have been in the world. Our society remembers the errors of the past and has a social consciousness that is carried forward outliving ourselves, tis allows future generations to learn from our mistakes and to dispose of old outdated and perhaps even wrong beliefs held by our ancestors. Without this function of society we would be doomed to relive the errors our past generations after ever 2 - 3 geerations.
I think it is because of old traditions brought down by families and culture in general. It's sad, really.
They reject prejudiced beliefs because it is a different time now, People interact with everyone regarding of race or where you came from, and other than that I really do not know what to say.
A lot of people feel the need to publicly reject prejudiced beliefs because our society is so sensitive to political correctness to the point of nausea. I believe the truth is that people are really being deliberated by the pervasive use of political corectness.
People may not have changed, but what is considered acceptable in society has changed. Our tolerance for other cultures and way of living has expanded. What is politically correct (or not) is a huge part of what is okay in today's world. It's not that here isnt' prejudice on that level anymore, but to express it or make decisions based on that is no longer okay on any level. That's really the only difference, the concept of what is okay now versus what was okay then.
This seems to be a matter of slow change that results from small steps in the right direction. People are growing up being taught differently than in the past. Communication via electronics especially, has allowed us to see other people and understand thoe who are different a little better. Changes is law have had a positive impact on social beliefs as discrimination has been lessened due to civil rights legislation.
Social norms have changed so much that prejudiced social beliefs are rejected by the vast majority of people. Even people who may hold these beliefs do jot routinely express those beliefs due to the changes in social norms.
I think it has to do mainly with peoples mindset, and how they think about the prejudiced social beliefs. Society has changed so also has the people and their thinking.
when beliefs are instilled in you at a young age it's hard to break. When parents feel so strongly about religion, sporting teams, sex and education it sorta brain washes the child. Its hard for adults to breakout of the cycle that their parents worked thm into. I am a Hawks fan because of my dad, after seeing him cheer them on every season I begun to cheer.
We don't chop people's heads off anymore. It was the time in history. People are people but what was acceptable hundreds of years ago isn't necessarlily acceptable today. We have more knowledge and technology than 100 years ago. There are also more pople on the earth and so maybe things aren't so cut and dried as they were 100 years ago. They re
Today people are more revolved. With all the technology out their today it is much easier for people to be less nieve than 100 years ago. Also it is much easier to not hide these beliefs because with the social sites like facebook everybody knows everyboys beliefs.
I would not say most people strongly reject prejudiced social beliefs today then they did a hundred years ago. It might be the opposite in some people. I know one thing that has not changed and that is discrimination towards blacks and minorities. Also th same thing this country was fighting for in all the old wars is almost the same as we are fighting for now: land, religion, oil. Is a really sad state of affairs too that we have come this far and not really progressed as a nation on social beliefs from 00 years ago. I know one thing times are way different than when my grandparents were being raised here in the USA. Furthermore
theres more knowledge in my opinion and more educated people with that knowdledge and the media allows people to communicate effectively with one another about said topics. The culture has changed and yes people are still the same but theres more pressur and more influence from surroundings. to do so. i think the peo
they realise how wrong and how many people have suffereed due to it they are trying to have everyone be the same not have more or less rights then some based on the color of our skin or social economy or family name.
I believe they reject them because the world is a completely different place today. We have a better idea about what is right and wrong socially. A better understanding of many issues. A
I feel that people reject prejudiced social beliefs because we're more aware of those who we're prejudiced against. Thanks to having such an open and diverse world we can see that old world stereotypes and prejudices are quite wrong and reflect negativelyon our society. The world we live in is now very diverse and we have the ability to interact with people from all over the world in the click of a button thanks to the Internet. This helps us view others in a very humanistic type of way. F
Because it all about what is acceptable. In order to be accepted by society you must conform to some of there common beliefs. In the past no one was really aware of that they were using prejudices. Now we are aware and we have rejected the notation that i isn't good to be doing that. I think it is a part of human nature. You just have to conso
People reject social beliefs from 100 years ago due to the fact that the world around us has changed exponentially in the past 100 years. There are so many changes that have happened over the past 100 years that have led to this rejection. Most important s technology & travel. If it were not for our travel & discovery of the world around us, many prejudiced social beliefs may still be in tact today.
Times have changed and people think that everyone should be treated equally. There are still those people that don't think that this should happen. It's mostly a racial thing and people today are sick of racists. People deserve the chance to be treatedequally and with respect.
1. A better educated population 2.People have more interaction with different people today 3. People today have more exposure to different people through media sources. 4. It has become "unfashionable" to accept prejudiced social beliefs.
It has to primarily do with things like the Harlem Renaissance that revolutionize the way other races and even social standings. When we see greatness come from every walk of life, our prejudices and judgement can't be made as quickly. Ideas are always chnging in cultures, especially social outlooks.
I think people are rejecting them now because we have matured somewhat as a nation. We realized that all people, regardless of color or religion or nationality, are worthy of respect. This does not mean that prejudice does not exist, because it certainly oes. I think it always will exist. But the prejudices we see today are much different than those of a century ago. People tend to hide their prejudices more, because they are actually against the law. You can have the feelings, but you cannot act upon the. You are not allowed to practice discrimination, and can find yourself in legal
I think everyone now is a lot more judgmental. People have been raised completely differently today then before. Alot more technology (tv,ipod,computer). We can see a lot more going on in the society.
Slavery was abolished a hundred or so years ago. People have a stronger moral compass and some has to do with the laws that were passed which strengthend morality. Here in the US, slavery is illegal. If it was still legal, there would be some immoral pople owning slaves to do their work. I feel the laws have much to do with it and people growing up in a world where there is no slavery come to expect that it is evil to have slaves.
Because people today have become more enlightened. They've realized that those prejudiced views were based on false beliefs. So during these 100 years, the understanding has allowed people to accept that we're all equal. That there's not as many differencs as we would think between races. To a certain point, respect of all people has increased (not 100%).
People from any time period will think that they are more enlightened than anyone from previous time periods, a survivor bias of sorts. People like to convince themselves that they have culturally advanced from their less advanced ancestors.
As time change and the world changes people idea of morals and ethics changes. Slavery was common practice until people realized human is human and no person should be owned by anyone. As perspectives change in the few they change in the many and eventualy it is common practice to be of the other mindset.
I am going to guess that it has something to do with how they were raised and the quality of ther environment. I also believe that religion plays a part in todays rejection. I must admit that I am not very good at figuring out these type of questions but I gave it the best shot I could come up with.
Social Morality is a changing factor in any society. Even 100 years ago prejudiced beliefs were nowhere near universal. If we accept morality as just value judgements based on the individual; it is likely overtime that as peoples views change they will pas thei morals onto the people close to them; f
I assume that it is because it was so long ago and people change over time. If everyone had they same mindset they had lets say even ten years ago, it would seem as if they are not progreessing. Bringing up old beloefs and things of that nature is an examle of that because people should live in today and not worry about what happened in the past. One can believe what he or she wishes but they cannot expect everyone to accept their beliefs. This does not only apply to social beliefs as well, there are manyfactors this situation applies to. I am not at all biased towards the statement either. This is my unbiased opinion.
mass media is the most obveous reason. The culture of america is 100% shaped by television. when you see a vilian, when you see a hero, when you see a female, when you see a chef, chances are, you are seeing some prefabricated image that your mind took frm the tv.
prejudiced believes breed inequality. No one wants to live in a world were the next person isn't equal to you as a human being
I think that people want to think that they have evolved over the last 100 years. People want to believe that they have changed and learned from past mistakes that we are no longer the same people that we once were.
I would say it is most likely due to two factors. First, one would assume that people and cultures have evolved over time. We are less barbaric and more diplomatic in our approach to conflict resolution. This has led to more understand and less judgment aainst people who are different than you. Second, I believe the expansion of the internet and world wide connectivity has made all of us more aware that there are many different types of people in the world and we will have to get along if we hope to survie. This all goes along with News being more world focused and feeling like a member of the world co
Because people feel social pressure to come off as not prejudiced even though most people still are. People care about how they are perceived even though their mindset has not really progressed.
People have more access to things so they are more opened minded.
Because we are a more educated people now than those that lived back then
Because over time people have become more enlightened and now more readily realize how ridiculous and stifling it is to place people in such rigid boxes of this and that social belief. They've realized that everyone is a person just like everyone else, were all on an equal playing field, and having prejudiced social beliefs inhibits certain groups from being equal, which is both unfair and wrong.
The main reason why people reject social beliefs from hundreds of years ago is because people change. What is acceptable now was not acceptable back then. Changing times calls for changing beliefs and values. There have also been many people who defy crtain beliefs, which help this movement in changing beliefs. Some people like change and want to do everything they can the change things. New inventions also change the way that people do and believe in things.
People probably think that we are more advanced now in many ways and therefore believe we should have different social beliefs. We WANT to think that we are more advanced, anyway.
I'm not sure, but I'll throw some theories out there, I think people like to think that society is progressively getting better and more enlightened over time, even if the evidence doesn't portray that, it's easy to say, well "that's how things were backthen" when talking about prejudice, it is harder to admit that a lot of those same prejudices still exist. Other than that I don't know if I have a lot of other theories on this particular subject, but the task asks that I keep typing for the full 3 minues, so I guess I will try to come up with something else,
It's a question of social evolution. We once had slavery as part of the constitution. As our society evolves, gay marriage, for example, has now been accepted by a majority of the population. Of course, prejudice still exists to an alarming degree. There s a, in my opinion, rather large portion of the population that refuses to give up prejudice
Th value of a dollar has changed so much over the pas thundered years along with what one can purchase. Moreover, the value of society have changed over time due to technological advances. In general, people are more white collared workers today who have sense of entitlement. More people now fit in the realm of what society's tell them they should fit into.
I believe people believe in their families values whether they are right or wrong. So they tend to believe their values even over new cultural information. If you were raised believing in racism then you will be racist, if you are raised to believe racim is wrong you will not be racist.
Over time, people have become more accepting of each other. Yes, there is still prejudice and racism in the world, but we have began evolving as humans by learning that we are not that much different from each other. There is good and bad in every race nd ethnicity. I believe back during slavery times and just after, this was not as common a thought. As generations moved down the chain, parents could only teach their children so much about hate; children start to develop their own thoughts. Therefore hatred and racism dies out, especially as more minorities are making important contributions to the world.
Society's beliefs change over time. We use to think the world was flat, but we don't think that any longer. Slavery was all the world use to know at one point. People grew up thinking it was the way things were suppose to happen. People are products of thir environment. No one is born racist or prejudice. It is taught. So when people are no longer taught to grow up this way, then prejudiced social
I disagree with the premise that theer is no intrinsic difference between people of today versus people from 100 years ago. People today are better informed, better educated , healthier, more open, more diverse, and much more communicative with one anothe. This alone would broaden the perspective of any intelligent, and even some not so int
It is just the way humanity is. Most of the rejections or "dislikes" come from upbringing or just because they feel that it is the thing to do. Most that do reject prejudiced social beliefs do so without any knowledge of history and do it just for spite.
As time has passed by we have become more of an educated society. There was a lot of ignorance and wrongly interpreted religious beliefs a century ago. These days people are more sophisticated and highly educated. It may happen again in another cen
i think people are the same people,we just get more knowledge and now being able contact anyone around the has increase peoples accentance of people with a diffeant race
I think that the ways of the old are gone. In a sense when people were first comming to americain the early 1900's there was a cultural difference between people. Different languages, customs, and beliefs. As more people became acclinated in soceity an cross dating, breeding of different cultures made more people understanding. Also as children of immigrants were born in america they became american. All speaking the smae laguage, having the same background ect. There has been many changes in technoogy, industry, and education to come to some sort of standard of people. There is still culture but people are now american and they all have some so
I feel that people reject prejudicial beliefs but they still, deep down, know that they exist, they just want to be one of the people to remove that stereotype. I see it everyday. It's kind of amusing. While the times have changed, and it is now possible o publicize what happens in the world, there are still vile people who believe in judging others by their gender, skin color, and sexual preference.
Because people are now better educated and 100 years ago people held different beliefs when it cam to things like skin color. Those "prejudiced" against have been able to achieve things that
Because society has grown so much in 100 years, there is a feeling that the people from 100 years ago are less advanced socially. People today see the attitudes of those from the past as less advanced and therefore wrong compared to how things are today. nd even though we are not different intrinsically, there has been 100 years of history to learn from, and ple
People rely on history and cultural context for their morality. One hundred years ago, the majority of people did not see anything wrong with the prejudices in their enviroment. But there was a small minority of dissenters who recognized an injustice andwanted to change it. One hundred years later and we are a majority who saw the injustices of the past and no longer tolerate it. Our cultural context tells us that it is wrong and now only a minority think it is correct. It is the result of history.
The premise of the question is flawed. in fact, there is no evidence - at least none presented here - that social beliefs, prejudicial or otherwise, have been rejected. One need only look at today's headlines to realize that prejudicial beliefs are still ampant worldwide.Slater
That is a really interesting and deep question. I would have to think that the answer lies within the fault of the question. It says there is no intrinsic difference between people today and the last century, but I believe there is. With all the new advacements in technology, it becomes more and more imprinted on the thought and beliefs of people. Ibelieve this is similar to when Copernicus
I have absolutely no idea. if there was a concrete answer, it may give us an insight into how and why people behave the way they do. It could be as simple as how they were brought up. It could be a little more complex and be because of all the different scial beliefs they've been exposed to through different sources over the
Because most people think that the way people thought was just wrong. They were very prejudiced and just pl
i think prejudiced social beliefs are no longer seen as normal like they were 100 years ago. such attitudes have changed significantly in the last 100 years, and our education system and culture teach that these beliefs are wrong instead of simply the wa things are. it's definitely more of a cultural shift than a biologial one. those that still hold prejudiced social beliefs today are typically those raised in an environment where those beliefs are seen as legitimate, but they're in the minority now beause mainstream thought has all but rejected those beliefs
I'm not really sure why most people do this but my mind is cleared!
Its easier to learn more now than it was 100 years ago through television and the internet so people are exposed to dif more than they were 100 years ago
Most people today are highly influenced by the media. If the media beats somethig into your head long enough you start to agree with them.
We reject prejudiced social outdated social beliefs today because people are better educated (both formally and informally). People also reject these beliefs because as such thinking becomes increasingly outside the norm, there is more social pressure toreject such beliefs. It is not the people who change in this scenario, but whatever it is that we define as society/culture. These influences can
Because I think that people are more worried about being politccally correct know. I think that honestly, most people deep down are prejudice, they are just less likely to say so now that social norms are against racism.
Quite simply the world was a different place a hundred years ago. Times where much different obviously, besides technology being different, racial tensions were much different as well. One hundred years ago America was still recovering from the civil war hich was in fact not just a war about race but race played a large role. These days and the way society is, there is virtually no difference between race equality to younger people.
I believe people don't reject it today because people are more open minded, and things are more acceptable in today's society.
Becuase they realized their actions were immoral and wrong and all people are the same. It quickly became socially unacceptable to be a bigot
People simply adopt whatever they grew up with. Whether it's the latest fashion, latest music, latest trends, or even cultural and social perceptions of others. One can only realize what one knows.
people have began to rezlied that everyone is the same
The difference in people today is based on their attitudes and accepted social mores. Over time, people's collective attitudes have slowly changed to get where we are today. It is impossible for someone to make a judgment without being affected by the atttudes that have surrounded them their entire lives.
I think it is wrong that there is prejudice, for many different reason, although you are right there are no intrinsic difference, i believe over the years humans have
People reject prejudiced social beliefs because societies have changed and progressed as a whole. Groups of people who were once oppressed and discriminated against have fought for equal rights and treatment. This has caused awareness of the importance f fair treatment and equal rights to increase greatly. The result is that people and society as a whole are now more aware of, and sensitive to prejudiced social beliefs that may have previously been accepted. Over time, people and societi
Over time, people and opinions change and evolve. What was once acceptable fifty years ago may not be so today. What is normal now may be weird in the future. Things change and values change. The more we learn, the more we adapt to new ways of life.
While there are no Natural differences between the humans of today and the humans of 100 years ago, there is a Natural difference in the way in which their lives are lived. A 100 years ago almost everyone worked in factories etc. Today more people than evr have office jobs where they have to be accepting of everyone. In addition to that technology has naturally evolved drastically over the last 100 years. Some of this technology changing the way
I think the social beliefs that we have rejected are specifically because there are no intrinsic differences in people. We have found that these beliefs were founded in spite of that fact and went against sense. We reject those beliefs now since
People today strongly reject prejudiced social beliefs because they've shown throughout history to cause much pain and destruction. As we evolve into a better society we are able to look to the past and see how much pain prejudiced social beliefs inflict n people. We're slowly progressing as a society by allowing those who were inflicted by the prejudiced beliefs to have a voice in our society. People inflicted by the prejudiced are growing in numbers as well and starting to take steps to end prejudiced bliefs. It's a good thing.
I do not why because like it said top that there is no intrinsic difference between people today and people in the beginning of the last century. Maybe because they think ith
I think people reject prejudice because they don't want to believe that it is still going on today. Once they convince themselves it's true, they realize it's true.
People today want to see themselves as smarter and better than those from over 100 years ago.
I believe it's because society has evolved along side technology. Many of the things people did back then are considered taboo now. Also, government was not as structured back then.
Well this assumes there is no intrinsic difference between people then and now. I would argue that outside of basic, cellular makeup, people then and now are fairly different, and this has mostly been shaped by technology and cultural practices. Cultural ractices that dictate social behavior have lasting impact on society. The trend the past century has been to be more accepting of ethnic and economic differences, with some exceptions of course. But on a whole, the developed world has become a more tolerat place and thus prejudiced social beliefs are less normalized and have less cultural cachet than they might have 100
There is no difference in people today and the people of 100 years ago. We basically haven't changed as a species, however our beliefs have. Beliefs from 100 years ago were that white people were deemed a superior race than African Americans. We know toda, that is not the case. Racial equality has completely changed in the last 100 years. Blacks hardly had any rights while white people had them and dictated all the rules and laws that black people will have to foll
It could be the way kids are being raised. Society has changed over the time frame. It is very possible the the ideals of everyone also changes.
Everyone is meant d o be seen as equals today however social prejudice from years ago still come up in some scenerios.
The social climate has a big effect on people's prejudices. The way parents raise their children and the climate they grow up in changes their views so it's only natural that they would think differently than people did 100 years ago. I also think the word is more "connected" than it ever was before and this opens peope's minds about different cultures and people. People are more accepting of people who come from different backgrounds and cu
People in general feel that they know best. It is simply an intrinsic part of every person. This feeling however causes people sometimes to make decisions that are not always their own beliefs. Meaning since I think I know the way to act in a certain sitution, therefore everyone before me is wrong. That will lead a person to change a belief, be it social
People now understand that there is no differences between people beneath the surface-- something that we did not know 100 years ago. We used to believe that people were very different, and some were even subhuman. As we have gained knowledge and acceptane, we have come to understand that we're all the same and people should be treated equally as, underneath the surface, we truly are all equal.
Because prejudiced social beliefs are an archaic thing of the past and being prejudiced against anyone is just stupid. Our lives are too short to hate someone just because they are different from us. We are all human beings and that is all that should mater to anyone. I believe most people today realize this and behave accordingly. There is an intrinsic difference between people today and people from the beginning of the last century because our mindsets, goals, and achievements are so much different. So completely disagree with your statement in the prom
I think it's easy for people today to dismiss history because the have no direct connection to those events. While they are similar and we as a society should have learned from them, it affects certain people in certain ways. I can also see the other sie of that, in that prejudices that occurred many years ago probably are not relevant to the social issues of today. That is despite any parallels to the contrary, we are different people in a different time and it is the responsibility of those in the prsent to deal with their issues. This will allow for a more socially aware culture that allows for more harmonious interactions between all of us as human beings.
As individuals have slowly adapted to a different beliefs, these beliefs have become more mainstream. As a rejection of prejudiced beliefs becoming part of the minority, other people have adapted to the majority opinion. Although I believe that a person cn change a particular set of beliefs based on new information, I also believe that some people have slowly adapted their beliefs in order to avoid appearing either prejudiced, backwards or ignorant.
People today reject prejudiced social beliefs that 100 years ago they would not have, because people are now much less interesting. Everyone has to be tolerant and accepting of everyone else, regardless of how ridiculous, or they are chastised. The basis or this comes from people not having enough to worry about, so they start interfering with people who do not need their help. See affirmative action for examples. This really should not exist since no one is allowed to even think about discrimination. I hve gotten well off topic here, but too bad.
People of today are different, they were brought up differently, taught different beliefs and
In the past hundred years humanity has become significantly more civilized due to a lot of different factors, from increases in various health and hygiene standards to wild advances in technology. Perhaps it's taken us all that time to simply accept that n same basic level we are all the same. In essence, our lives are longer, our lives are better, and that I thin
I think that people today reject prejudiced beliefs from 100 years ago because we have grown as a species. As more and more instances of prejudice have occurred, and more people became aware of them, we slowly started it was wrong to think that way and wetook steps to fix those beliefs.
it is something that is taught to them from generation to generation on how they act in regards of prejudice social beliefs. you will have people tha
Attitudes change over time in society as new beliefs and laws are introduced. No one wants to be the outsider who is looked down upon while time and ideas progress.
Just the wave of society moving. they grew in a society that generally didnt accept these things, so they just think of them as viscerally wrong. There's nothing that shapes are attitudes about mortality except the society we live in
People today are making judgments from the core beliefs formed as they were growing and developing. These beliefs are informed by our educational system and the mores of this time period. People raised in this environment accept as fact the core beliefsinstilled into them as they were maturing. People today still form biases and incorrect judgments, but they are based along different lines. The world today is also more integr
As people grow so do the ways f life and how people act and think. It only takes 1 person to make a difference. That one person can influence many and soon more followers will come in to play. These new ways of thinking and acting are passed down to newergenerations and it becomes more and more common for people to start hanging their views on prejudiced social beliefs.
I think this is because the social boundaries (as far as sexuality, etc.) have expanded, so now we are accustomed to things that we weren't 100 years ago. I also believe that what we as a society believes is right and wrong has changed since then as well.Society has changed in the past 100 years and it has affected the social beliefs of the people that are in the society. They think that how it was then is so diffI don't have much else to say about that.
I can't really explain this. Maybe it is because people today are more aware of their surroundings than 100 years ago.
I think with the introduction of the internet people are becoming more aware of other cultures. You used to just know what was handed down to you through your peers and contacts. It was very easy for them to have prejudice beliefs because they can't undrstand what they don't know. Internet allows you to see two sides of every story. There was also more wars going on and government propaganda to influence you to have the me vs them attitude. Where America was great and other cultures were evil and vic versa. It is instilled in our education system, and the internet helps us to learn the big picture.
Society is attempting to express growth through the rejection of these prejudiced social beliefs. Many individuals act like they are not racist, sexist, etc. but secretly are. They keep it hidden because the social norm is to avoid these prejudices for fer of retribution from society. Society hasn't really changed it is all a façade. Hopefully in the future these beliefs will not be a part of our culture but I seriously doubt that will ever be true. Someday we will see.
Though people are basically a the same as 100 years ago, maybe a little taller, society is not the same. It changes over time with the beliefs it has produced. 100 years ago it wasn't as easy to fly to Europe or African, Asia and the south pole, the plae has grown smaller with the advance of technology, so the spread of different ideas flows better
Because the idea of what is socially acceptable has evolved based off of the idea that humans are created equal and should be afforded the same opportunities. If afforded the opportunities people can grow on a consistent level. This is inconsistent with pevious thought process which subscribed to the ideas that o

People strongly reject prejudiced social beliefs from a hundred years ago because they find these social beliefs offensive or as an interference of their lifestyles even though there is no intrinsic difference. People want the freedom to life their lives he way they want to and don't want to be held back by someone else's beliefs.
Because people belive what they were raised on and if their parents said it was right they will most likely believe it and grow up to believe just as if they told them if something was wrong.
Well, I would hope that knowledge in our common ancestry has been widespread enough so that people do know that there is; in fact, a difference in what we believed 100 years ago. Genetic research has proven that all humans come from the
I think people who were previously marginalized have succeeded in raising awareness, speaking up for themselves, and educating the general population to the extent that it is difficult to maintain prejudiced social beliefs. I think that in particular the ass media and social media have played a large role in this. People have a way to get their message out, so people are generally more socially aware. We are able to see that people who are different from us in some ways are still people just like us. In sme countries it seems like this is not the case, but they have more limited access to media, more limited free speech, and
As human beings we have a tendency to believe that social beliefs get antiquated just like technological devices. Beliefs, in most people's mind should progress as societies progress. Although we might not notice any intrinsic differences between todaysindividuals and last century
People reject prejudiced social beliefs from years ago because we have been taught to do so. While we are intrinsically no different from people 100 years ago, we have a greater understanding of science and human nature that allows us to counter prejudice beliefs and think based on reason.
time has changed people to where newer generations are more accepting of the differences in todays world and a
Culture has changed in the last 100 years and people generally are influenced by cultural changes. They are raised with different values than their parents were raised and as such their beliefs evolve over time and their belief system becomes part of the alues they were raised with and the values they are exposed to. Morality shifts over time and personal views do too.

Responses to Control Question
because society has changed and it has told us to abandon these beliefs but unfortunately people reject these beliefs more because they are afraid of how they will be viewed if they don't.
Most people today strongly reject prejudiced social beliefs from a hundred years ago because we are becoming more socially responsible. All prejudiced social beliefs are bad, but a hundred years ago society was at a far darker state, and prejudice and racsm were rampant. Nowadays our cultures are so intermingled, many more people are realizing that we are all the same despite different ethnic or cultural backgrounds, and we are more willing to overcome the prejudices of the past. Additionally, the
Many people believe the way it was a long time ago was wrong, and it was wrong. All people no matter what race should be treated fairly and no race, person is better then anybody regardless of anything. It is completely wrong to think that one race is beter then the other. People should work together as we are all humans and good people.
I think people strongly reject prejudiced social beliefs from a hundred years ago because they just can't relate to them. We live in a different world right now and life is run differently. People come from different backgrounds and such. It is hard to reate to how things were back then.
I think that a lot of prejudice occurs simply because of a lack of exposure to the lives of others. Without the understanding say of a good piece of literature that gets in the head of someone unlike yourself, it can be difficult to see things the same wa and as such, some things that are different become stereotyped. Kind of like how mystic explanations are replaced with scientific discovery, we have simply become more aware and instead of unsure and ill informed opinions one can actually start to see thngs like they actually are, whether they be in how the world works or human nature and behavior.
We live in a more socially advanced time, we don't allow predjudice anymore. There was slavery going on, and segregation, and hate. We don't allow those things because we are all created equal and equality is important these days.
I am not really sure what this question is referring to. If it pertains to racial discrimination then I think it has been rejected because of the efforts of civil rights leaders from the 50's and 60's. It is not gone completely
They reject prejudiced beliefs from a hundred years ago because we live in a different time now where sort of stuff is not tolerated.It is immoral and that sort of thing doesn't belong in today's modern era
In today's society, it is looked upon as being racist if you were to adhere to the social beliefs from a hundred years ago. We are much more accepting and much more knowledgable these days than in the past. If we were to go back to the way things were, t would probably cause a riot so it is in everyone's best interest to reject those prejudiced social beliefs. There are more moral and ethical standards these days that should live by. If they don'et. people will lok down on them and think poorly of the. Being a racist is one thing that isn't tolerated as much these days and if you are seen acting prejudiced, you will at the very least, get a dirty look. You could also
People today tend to reject the prejudiced beliefs of the past because they believe that we are better people than we had been in the past. We have begun to realize that all people are humans and should be treated as such. Therefore, a lot of the prejudics are starting to lift as we become more accepting of different people. We also have a lot more exposure to different cultures now than we had 100 years ago.
The times have changed so much from 100 years ago that you can not compare now to then. The prejudice from then can still happen but it is different. There will always be prejudice in the world now and then.
Prejudiced social beliefs from a hundred years ago don't apply anymore. People have grown up, cultures have changed and times are different. Today steretotypes are more of the minority as compared to a hundred years ago when they were much more prevelan.
Most people have now grown to accept that predjudiced social beliefs are immoral. Even if it's not a question of morality, it is not necessarily in one's self interest to be predjudiced. I don't think predjudiced social beliefs are rejected but possibly hdden from public view. Also, many of the prejudiced beliefs were based on what passed for science 100 years ago. Much of that science has been rejected.
Because they feel that prejudice is wrong and that it's wrong to judge someone prior to getting to know them. If you judge everyone prior to knowing them as a person, you may get the wrong impression and it may affect your potential relationship with thatperson now or in the future.
People are more aware that differences in people are just that, differences, we are all human beings, trying to make lives for ourselves, do our work, raise our children and be healthy and happy. With knowledge comes social change.
Prejudice has fallen out of favor as the size of the world has grown "smaller." Everyone from all over the world has been living in more similar conditions. People with differences that would have been grounds for discrimination a hundred years ago are cosidered to be completely similar now.
Because we've evolved. We live in a society that finds the old prejudices irrelevant. We've learned we're strong when we work together. All in all it's a change to be proud of.
I think that prejudiced social beliefs are passed down from generation to generation. Along with the beliefs passed down and individual has their own experiences that will also affect their beliefs and judgements. Over time it is just natural that the bliefs and judgements will diminish some. The passed on beliefs will become less and less prejudiced until they are realized to be wrong and at some point will be rejected.
In some respects, it would seem that the answer to this is a "no-brainer." Why would someone have the same attitude from one hundred years ago about social beliefs? Take race for example. The United States of 100 years ago was much more racially segregate and much of this was based around prejudiced views of blacks and other minorities. After years and years of activism and legislation, as well as some violent episodes, America is now a much more integrated society. Though there are those who still hold ngative views towards blacks and minorities, the vast majority of people, particularly in the southern states, have a much more open mind about
Because those prejudices were stupid to begin with. For example, men were forbid from smoking cigarrettes because they were "effeminate"--they were supposed to smoke cigars--whereas cigarrettes were targeted at women. Racial prejudices were stupid and unsientific. Today we know better than to think there are "superior" human races.
Times have changed and with that, social mindsets have changed. The largest part of this change, I feel, is the empowerment that women have now in society. So many social beliefs in the past served to show women as subservient, but not that they need to b more independent, the views towards them have changed drastically as well.
I'm not really sure if people do reject prejudiced social beliefs from a hundred years ago.
I think it is largely tied to a decline in religion. This is more true outside of America, but even in the US, religious thinking about everything has declined. We have realized that people are basically all the same. There is little of the religious backd hatred for races outside of certain areas. The only real grounds of prejudice religion still influences is homosexual acceptance and even that is rapidly waning. As more people have traded thousand year old books of stories for science books of fact, eople are starting to open their eyes about how the world actually works.
I think they reject prejudice because they learned that the beliefs came from ignorance. People back then feared what they did not know and prejudice was an easy way for them to cope. We know now that those beliefs come from fear and hate and that thee is no place for that in our world now.
Social beliefs from 100 years ago are exactly that, a century old, and they're based on a different time, culture, society, and frame of mind. People in the early 1900s still didn't think that African Americans were equals to whites. We reject those socal beliefs because they've been shown to be unjust, wrong, and over time people have learned prejudice is not right. We want to form our own social beliefs and not just trudge down the path that our ancestors did.
I feel that the world is moving forward on social issues and everything is becoming more accepted. Those who do not become more accepting are looked down upon by everyone else and are almost forced to become more accepting to fit into the status quo.
People have grown to understand that the prejudied beliefs that were once common place are just not true. Through the civil rights movements we have made great strides in changing how people perceive others and accept that God has creatwed us as equals depite our differences in appearance and where
I believe we reject them because we have found them to wrong on many levels. We have learned from the mistakes from our last generations that what they belived about other ethnic or religious groups were found to be faulty and wrong. Also with human right laws being implemented and segregation being stopped, it allowed us to view people as we view ourselves, without prejudice. We wer
Because people from today view them as ignorant and just disregard their way of thinking in the past. They believe that situations like those in the past just never occur now in the present.
People don't want to change, they don't want to be told what to do. People want to buck authority and go against the rules. People also might want to be more modern.
Mostly because as we became a more connected and educated society, we learned more about our similarities as a race than the skin-deep differences that defined previous generations' relationships with each other. Also, with this newly connected society, were news can be sent across the nation in seconds, you learn about the suffering that people are going through almost as it's happening, generating sympathy for the oppressed. Just look at the Civil Rights Mo
They reject these beliefs because they know now that they are not true. With time people have come to see that what they knew before is not necessarily true. There have been facts against these beliefs to show that these beliefs were wrong. Also peoplehave evolved with time to believe something different. Whether they believe the facts or disagree with these beliefs for other reasons either way they do not believe these social beliefs to be true anymore. Our society has also evolved to show that thes beliefs are no longer true.
We now live in multicultural societies, rather than homogenous socities. It's hard to hate people of "XYZ background" when you personally know people of that background and deal with them every day. Humanity is easier found in proximity, and due to a globlized world, we basically live in proximity to everyone of every background.
This has occurred because people are speaking out against this type of behavior and more people are talking about it. The media plays a large part in this type of communication. Because of radio, television, the internet and all sorts of social media, thi kind of problem is brought out of the closet and humanized. People are much more sensitive to the feelings of others than they were a hundred years ago because they have been made aware that their behavior may be offensive and even dangerous to others --plus it's just not acceptable to the majority of the public. Also, laws have been enacted to
It is assumed that people are more educated and capable of rational thought. In addition, we are all more interconnected than in the past, meaning that information about one another is more readily available through the internet and other sources, making ach one of us more vulnerable, should one have viewpoints that are radically different or controversial from the rest of general society. Thus, people are expected to have less prejudice and a more open or fair viewpoint on various topics, that reflects world in which
I think that people today reject these prejudiced social beliefs from the past because of the atrocities that occurred. For example it used to be normal to call a black person a different name that starts with an N but now that is totally politically incorect, even though at the time a hundred years ago that was the normal thing to do. This generation genuinely wants change and I think that's a good thing, they want a better, less discriminatory life for their kids and the next ones after that. I'm proud o say that I lived through this wonderful time.
I think most people today strongly reject prejudiced social beliefs from a hundred years ago because so much has happened within those hundred years that have proven those beliefs to be false. People used to believe that women and minorities were inferiorto white people but society has seen that these groups can accomplish anything and everything that white people can accomplish. I also think more interconnectivity has changed people's social beliefs. Things like the internet and telephones have connectedpeople in a way never before seen. With this connectedness comes a fusion of ideas and beliefs that tend to be more liberal and openminded than their predecessors. Since we can talk and see
The main reason people today reject prejudiced beliefs of the past is that people are coming into contact so much more often with other cultures and "races" that they're starting to realize how untrue the vast majority of the past prejudices are. They're tereotypes, and stereotypes always dissolve away eventually
Our society is changing thanks to education. Education allows us to think for ourselves and decide what is right and wrong. And we can make a better decision then we could back then. Education was still pretty scarce a hundred years ago. So all people kne was religion. Religion defined people and cultures. But with science, the strength of religion is slowly weakening.
People reject these because they think they are wrong and not right anymore. Times are different now so our ideas of social beliefs change with us . we may not agree with it anymore or are now influenced by technology o
It violates the constitution and our civil liberties for starters. Also, many prejudices from a hundred years ago are more openly discussed and more common among today's society. When people become use to seeing and hearing about things in their everyday ife, they are more aptly adjusted to the situation and have fewer to no prejudices regarding the issue that was previously discriminated against when it was less commonly spoken about or seen. People have adapted o
There are a lot more people who are Democrats and Liberals today compared to a hundred years ago. Also, times have changed and many people have a different perspecti
Prejudiced social beliefs from a hundred years ago are strongly rejected today because we have a more divers culture than we did back then. America has always been a melting pot, but back in the day it was mainly a european melting pot. Today we have manynon European cultures prominent in America. THis has created a more tolerant nation. Many families are mixed of european and non-european cultures. A man with ancestors from Germany is married to the Latina hottie who's ancestors come from Mexico. This ha created a bigger better melting pot and ended much of the prejudiced soical belifes that used to be in this countr
Because it is more socially accepted and the majority of people embrace differences between people nowadays. It used to be the opposite. Over time things changed and now people get offended over things easily. More people are for equal rights now than eve before.
Thought changes over time; so as society norms change, so does popular thinking. Something that may have been normal 100 years ago could be seen as completely wrong today because of gradual social change.
Most people are brainwashed. They believe what they are taught to believe. For example 100 years ago they were taught to have a negative prejudice against blacks, so they did. Now they are taught to have a positive prejudice toward blacks so they do. You isk censure in modern society if you fail to show positive prejudice for blacks.
society are evolving on a daily basis and was was accepted 100 years ago is not necessarily perceived as the same nowadays. it also work in the opposite sens that unacceptable things hundreds years ago are no accepted in society. People have developed thir sens of ecception and are certainly more open minded now than they ever were in the past.
Because we have learned a lot about how the world works in the last 100 years. We have become more connected, thanks to technology such as the internet, and television. We see that the old beliefs don't necessarily ring true anymore. We have become a moreeducated group as a whole.
Most people probably feel that social sandards and political landscapes have changed greatly. There is not much of a need to keep traditions from the past because society is always evolving to adapt to new circumstances. New technologies and political conlicts arise and sometimes change how we behave and how we percieve individuals. Some values in our life become more important than others and sometimes we realize wrong doings in our life.
I think it is due to more awareness. As time passes, ignorance loses its hold over people. They become aware and then they reject prejudiced ideas. In the example of racism, people begin to see individuals of other races as human beings who are not compleely different from themselves. I think that people come to realize this through life experiences and then they pass that awareness down to their children and family members. And love is stronger than hate, so it turns into a "snowball effect" situation. Tat being said, not everyone rejects prejudiced social beliefs from the past. Some are still buying into it, but it's slowly changing for the better.
because we have gained more knowledge about many different subjects and also the rights of people women in particular have drastically changed so that things tha are permissable now would not have been back then which means that people have changed their eliefs aout things.
They were not exposed to them. Most people think the way they do now because a few ideas became very popular and they were raised that way growing up and exposed to the idea often. If you were raised with different values and everyone around you agreed wih them, there's a good chance you would act that way as well.
There are too many social changes in the last hundred years to write about them all in 3 minutes, so I'll address only racial discrimination. Today most people reject the racial segregation of last century partly because unlike 100 years ago, when few peole were exposed to different races other than black and white, who were unequal, nowadays we are all surrounded by multiple different races and nationalities - it has pretty much become the norm.
No one wants to believe that social prejudices still exist. There is now a nasty nice way of doing things. They cannot come out a say certain things; but It is known by the actions that they are still prejudice. I live with it everyday in my neighborhood,certain things that I am asked to do are said in such a
People nowadays reject beliefs like this because they have been told by society that it is immoral. Everyone knows that to be prejudiced is wrong, and therefor, it should not e happening at all. With these problems and opinions in mind, they might thin back to the slavery days where so many people were oppressed and do not even want to be put into the same topic as that category. Hundreds of years ago, thee wrong was actually what was expected of evry man and woman who had a light shade of skin
I think because most people have become more familiar with different types of people and are more close to them now. I think it is a better understanding and tolerance for people who are different than ourselves. I think that people now are more likely o voice their own opinions without fear of what may happen if they do. It is a more casual or chilled atmosphere now and it is okay to be different now. Just because someone doesn't look like you or believe like you doesn't make you any better than them I think we look at the past and realize how fucked up some of these people were with their discrimination and prejudice. It was pointless and ignorant and there are so many reason why that kind of judgem
I think people have gotten more independent and moved around more. They've experienced people from other backgrounds and realized we're all about the same and there's no use in not getting along with one another. Faster spread of information makes injusices much harder to keep quiet as they occur.
Time has changed so much that social beliefs hundreds years ago that were normal today are now considered prejudiced and horriable acts. Today their is equallity amoung the races as apposed to years ago that was not the case at all. View poin
A hundred years ago, you still had a lot of carry over from slavery. I think there was still a lot of seeing blacks as property and immigrants as a pest. The immigrants problem still exists, but the group that is viewed as a pest has changed. It used to b the Irish and now it's the Mexicans. As far as blacks/African Americans, I think time and the civil rights movement has helped ease some of the prejudice. Racism and racial prejudice absolutely still exists, but getting rid of segregation helped to rmove the
People reject prejudiced social beliefs from a hundred years ago because we have learned to value and respect equality. It is something that everyone deserves.
I think that there are two reasons that people reject previously held social beliefs. The first is that we have evolved as a civilization and have grown away from the old ways of thought that led us to those conclusions. We no longer are barbaric in ourthinking that we are better than other races or vice versa. The second is due to pressures to think in that way from society. It has become politically incorrect to think in those stereotypical ways, so even the people that still hold on to those ol beliefs, are wary of expressing their opinions. Not to say that that is a bad thing of course. I think the hatred that stems from those schools of thought is disgusting.
Because they feel as if we are a changed world and what was once second nature to people is now not.
Most people today reject prejudiced social beliefs from a hundred years ago because times, opinions, and society have changed. America is a land of opportunity with liberty and justice for all, not just some. Equality and efforts to promote equality hav come a long way. Prejudicial thoughts or actions are not widel
I believe people do this because they don't want to believe that their ancestors behaved in prejudice ways. Also they want to show that they themselves are not prejudice since their ancestors were not as well. Really in today's society prejudice still exits just not as much as it did 100 years ago. It is less prominent because society today wants to hide the fact that it still exist. People just don't want to believe this and do not want to believe that it existed in the past as well.
People largely reject the social beliefs of a hundred years ago because society has changed greatly in those hundred years. We progress and come to accept certain beliefs as generally true. People who do not accept these new beliefs are looked down upon ad eventually their way of thinking generally dies out with them. Social progress is benefit of our expanded knowledge. We are enlightening our viewpoints--the viewpoints of 100 years ago are seen as being archaic at this point. 100 years ago
I think that most people today strongly reject prejudiced social beliefs from a hundred years ago because people today are evolving and are more educated. I think that people are much better educated on the struggle that minorities have had to go through nd are much more sympathetic to that struggle. I also think that people are living close to and interacting more woth people of different races, religions, and lifestyles so they are becoming friends and realizing that we are all humans and are all simila and all deserve respect. Education in general has helped as well because people are less ignorant than in the past and people more readily speak out against pre
Most things are far different from 100 years ago. Social equality is a far more important issue now. It is unpopular to express ant-cultural sentiments. Targeting minority groups makes one look weak rather than the minority group look dangerous. Social meia and the press do not keep opinions private anymore. Prejudiced social beliefs have not disappeared, only cha
I think because we are less segregated now than 100 years ago people are meeting and getting to know more people with different racial backgrounds. I think if you get to know someone in a personal way it becomes harder to dislike a person based only on teir race. I also think children are being raised in a society where th
Because most people know they were wrong 100 years ago. They know that we should treat people equally and nice. We should treat people like we want them to treat us. We were more isolated 100 years ago.
Most people reject prejudiced social beliefs from 100 years ago because the world has changed so much in the past century. There are more people, from more backgrounds. Nowadays, most people are free to be whoever they want to be. Social media and the ris of the internet has played into an increase in communication and the sharing of ideas. If you are unable to accept people for who they are, then you are often thought of as judgmental and uncooperative. Despite what people believe, they are generally accpting of other people's beliefs and viewpoints.
Most people have came to the grips that these social beliefs were absurd and didn't make much sense. However, some people hide their beliefs in fear that they will be look down upon for thinking in such a bigot way. However, most still believe that we canall work together no matter race or gender as we became more accepting in this society. Even though racist thinking is not complete gone, it is no longer acceptable to be a racist and think in such
Most people are of the realization that people are basically the same. It has been a gradual change over the last 100 years. As time goes on people will teach there young that prejudice is not OK. There is not a right or wrong way to b
Because we have evolved as a society. Some fight so hard against the prejudices because they were raised that way, or their parents were and now are trying to fight becoming that person. Their line of thinking is that if they strongly declare their oposed noone will think they are that person. I find that most of the time the people that are most vocally opposed are the ones that closeted bigots, racists, etc.
Society has evolved, and a result prejudice is now seen for what it really is; ignorance. Furthermore, people in society now interact with other people from other cultures in their own neighborhoods, jobs, schools, etc., and as a result, see that prejudic is truly ignorance. Essentially, society has become intolerant of intolerance. Society has become a multicultural melting pot, and reject igrnora
People have begun to realize that prejudices from long ago are not applicable in our accepting society anymore. Technology has changed the world in so many ways, and people of all backgrounds and ethnic backgrounds have been successful in our world. Technlogy allows everyone to be heard. Some people go above and beyond when going against these old beliefs because they may feel some sort of personal guilt due to their own beliefs, or their families beliefs.
We reject them because we know that many aspects of society have advanced from a hundred years ago. We know that we've made a lot of changes, and we know that a lot of things viewed as normal in society a hundred years ago seem silly to us today, particulrly prejudices. We've realized that it's completely stupid to judge or hold prejudices based solely on race, sex, or other factors. We've become a lot more progressive as
People strongly reject prejudiced social beliefs from one hundred years ago today for a variety of reasons. The main reason for which prejudiced beliefs are rejected is because of improved mass media. Today we can search through a variety of sources andlearn the whole picture, in the past you may only have received one biased thought. Another reason is because we have the history of the past 100 years at our fingertips, we can see that prejudices and stereotypes from years past were ridiculous, and outandish assumptions can be dis proven. Lastly, today our world
I think society has changed a lot in one hundred years and we have different thoughts about different groups of people. There have been many different movements such as Civil Rights and Womens Rights since the past 75 or so years that have changed views n different groups. One hundred years ago there was a lot of different prejudices which there aren't now. People also wouldn't speak out as much as they do now.
People today strongly reject prejudiced social beliefs from a hundred years ago because society overall has changed so much since then. Now there are equal rights for people of all races, regardless of what has happened historically. One hundred years ao, schools and churches were segregated. Today it is completely acceptable to do all things with all people. One hundred year
I think most people today strongly reject prejudiced social beliefs from one hundred years ago because there has been education and multiple generations now that have grown up with the more "enlightened" attitude(s). The people who were in the minority vicing an opinion that prejudiced social beliefs were able to gain traction and encourage people to change - for the better - over a period of time. Essentially, through determination to achieve the larger goal. I also think that in addition to people adocating for change, there has been debunking of some racial/social myths. Stereotypes begin to be challenged and there is support that there is really nothing to the stereotype. Not all of particular groups do certain things like a stereotype might sug
A lot of basis is probably on more liberal European models that influenced us in hopes of staying with Western Culture. Further, discrimination was a factor in multiple enemies in past wars we have had, so our liberal move towards equality may be based onbeing different from them. Also, means of communication and technology have made us feel more connected.
Social norms and religious beliefs have loosened over the past 100 years. The ultra-conservative views were changed because of the changes in relations with other nations, changes in the world's and country's economies, changes in leadership. Many of th things that were believed 100 years ago are not in existence now because of our country's change to a more service-oriented economy. We have lea
They aren't really relevant anymore. The world has changed in huge, incredible ways since days past and now there are different things that matter. It's necessary to change our priorities.
I think because there is more diversity in America than 100 years ago. People are much more civilized and aware of the social climate and much more understanding. 100 years ago people felt more threatened about people who were different than them. Not as uch today. Plus there is more socialization going on between various races of people than back then. Back then, people were much more kept to themselfves
The prejudiced social beliefs from over a century ago are simply inaccurate measures of our society. In the past, people were quick to judge one another and make their opinions felt by speaking their minds. Rather than getting to know people of other cutures and belief systems, that society passed judgem
Because life was completely different 100 years ago. There is a large variety of people blending in with eachother, sharing ideas, lifestyles and beliefs. Life is more of a melting pot now as opposed to very simple beliefs 100 years ago. Also, certain peole will always be against tradition just for the sake of feeling independent. Traditionalists are very easy targets for criticism.
I believe that people reject prejudiced social beliefs from a hundred years ago because the world has grown and peoples opinions have migrated with time. People have gotten used to the everyday norms and interaction with most people around them. I don't rally know where to go from here.
AS EDUCATION HAS INCREASED PEOPLE HAVE LEANRED MORE ABOUT PREJUICDE PEOPLE ARE MORE MOBILE AND MEET MORE PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT GROUPS AND FIND THEM TO BE SIMILAR TO THEIR OWN GROUP AS PARENTS HAVE BECOME LESS PREJUIDICED THEY HAVE PASSED THAT ON TH CHIDREN WHO CONTINUE THAT MOVEMENT TO LESS PREJUDICE INCREASE OPPORTUNITES TO SOCIAL GROUPS HAVE ALLOWED THEM TO BECOME MORE POWERFUL ECONOMICALLY AND PARTICIPATE MORE IN SOCIETY INCREASED ABILI
People back in the day didn't have access to the knowledge that they do today. People believed whatever the church told them to believe. If they didn't believe what the church was telling them to believe- they were often ostracized from society. It hastaken a long time and many social movements for things to change to how they are today. There is still a lot of change that needs to take place. Plus this question says that the beliefs are prejudiced- so right there we are saying that they are wrong. ome beliefs back then probably were correct but this question asks about prejudiced ones.
Times change in society. The most of has to do with liberal left making great strides, such as gay marriage. I don't exactly agree with gay marriage, but I think everyone should be treated equal, or rather everyone shouldn't be judged. It isn't up to us t judge. However so
They know better - as people are learning that everyone is a human being and everyone has the right to all the same freedoms. Also and this comes from the paranormal research I do is that spiritually people are awakening now more than ever to the fact tht our soul, the true essence we are - we are all equal and we all have the potential to do what anyone else can do - that what social group or racial group you are in - is a false appearance and means nothing as the essence of which each person is, is a sirit or soul that has naturally gifted unbelievable talents and skills - and that in the future we will honor every person with great respect - it is be
prejudiced beliefs from a hundred years ago don't really apply to today's way of thinking. People are different today than they were one hundred years ago. Men and women are treated more equally today than they were many years ago so these beliefs no longr are relevant
Many beliefs that we held 100 years ago, such as sexism and racism, have incrementally become less and less socially acceptable to be held. This lack of tolerance for these sorts of beliefs has acted like a snowball, driving out intolerant beliefs and behviors until only the extreme and marginalized individuals hold them.
I think that people reject prejudiced social beliefs because we have been taught that it is wrong and have started to believe more and more that everyone is created equally. I think people may even reject prejudiced social beliefs more so now because theyknow it is the normal thing to do in society and they would get looked at wrong and labeled as a racist if not.
This is due to the permanent changes in human understanding and place in time that have taken place. We as the human race do not want to move backwards. It should be a continue path of improvement and adjustment. Certain social issues and beliefs that wer once important no longer carry as much weight. New, more imminent issues have emerged. It is critical that we deal with these problems and not let it escalate to the level that we have in the past. All that
Over time, society has changed, and certain beliefs and disbelief's have fallen in and out of favor. I'm not to certain why, other than it just seems to be the cycle of things. Almost like popularity, suddenly one day one thing is cool, then other day somthing else is. It wouldn't surprise me if years from now they were suddenly accepted.
Because after generations of living we're moving into a more global world naturally. Over time people will become less and less racist. Also since the internet it's been much easier to get information so there are less ignorant people. A hundred years fro now
I think that societal norms and conditioning cause people to reject prejudiced beliefs. Furthermore, I believe that each generation is less prejudiced than the one prior to it. Another factor today that I believe contributes to this for the current generaion of children is the number of interracial couples. So many of their peers are multi-racial that today's children would be unsure of how to classify their peers by ethnicity, even if they felt they should exhibit prejudiced notions.
Being prejudiced is bad. People have more education than today, leading to them to be smarter and more empathetic. the greater diversity of America now means people have more interaction with people with whom people were prejudiced against, making it seemmore ridiculous that they were prejudiced against them. The social beliefs of the past are also subconsciously projected onto people of the same race/etc. as the people today, so people want to deny it strongly to make sure that they are not seen as prejuiced.
People have become more open minded, then they were in the past. People have dropped their pre conceived notions about many things.
They feel that times have changed and that these beliefs no longer exist. Most people feel as if women are treated fairly today or that blacks are. This is not the case, especially in business and stereotypes. However, society feels that it has changedand these people have earned their rights and equality. They just don't believe the prejudice still exists. People feel they are better educat
People strongly reject prejudiced social beliefs because people nowadays are open minded, and many people are all about equal rights.
In most cases, this is because times have simply changed. We as a people have progressed, and we see things more clearly and equally. Much like biological evolution, we have experienced a mental evolution. We begin to understand things about human condtions that make social beliefs from before seem animalistic, and are more widely accepted now based on that evolution of human condition. It's really no different than laughing at the idea of mental illness being directly caused by Satan, or witches...whch was a common belief. We know understand more about it, and so the views change on the subject. I suppose it could be people are simply more capable of handling change. Gays, African Americans, etc...they all existed 100 years ag
People today have come a long way in their beliefs and how they treat other people. People have come to realize that despite socioeconomic status, religion, and skin color we are all the same. The general population can see that just because someone's ski is darker than theirs doesn't mean it is ok to physically or verbally abuse them.
I believe people today reject prejudice because we are able to see what atrocities have taken place throughout the history of the last few hundred years. We have been influenced by great civil rights leaders who have successfully driven home the point tha we are all human, all equal and we shall overcome. We all interact with each other and we benefit from having those different from us in our lives, be that ethnicity, sexual orientation or class...
because we have to do 50 50 every one is equal
I feel like it's an effect of the generation change. Back then, a lot of the people in charge publicly held such beliefs, and even upheld some laws regarding them (such as segregation). T Over the years, though, people have been increasingly willing to diplay their dispapproval of these beliefs and demanding change
Most people today want to be politically correct. Prejudiced social beliefs from even a hundred years ago seem way outdated in today's modern day society. It is looked down upon to be prejudiced and people don't want to be oustricized for their beliefs sothey are non-prejudiced if for no other reason than their own self benefit. Being rejudiced or racist against people actually just hurts you more than it hurts them now. It could make you lose your job. Look at Donald Sterling for example. He made one coment and got forced to sell his NBA team. It's a witch hunt in todays society so that is why most people reject prejudiced beliefs. They don't want to face the consquences that come with it.
Technology has increased so much in that last one hundred years that communication between people is so much easier. People are exposed to many different cultures and they must question their own beliefs and as the generations pass different values are pssed on. Slight changes in each generation result in very different beliefs in one hundred years.
We have grown as a socioety. and he all the knowlage in the world at our fingertips, we no longer need belifes that made no sense other than because thats how we have always done it.
Thats any easy one. Over the past few decades, those prejudiced social beliefs have been taught out of people. People are a lot different than they were a hundred years ago do to that fact, as well as total being totally integrated as it should be. I don' think it is much more complicated that what I have stated above.
The reality that we are all humans, no matter our looks, has slowly been accepted over time. Certain people's actions by standing g up and saying that we are all equal have contributed to that movement. The world has also become more open and free, meanin anyone can be the richest person in the world if they work for it. A hundred years ago, you didn't venture off from what life you were use to...if you were poor growing up, you were poor the rest of your life. Today, you can be dirt poor growing up and ten become a millionaire. The accessibility of the world d
I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that societies are much more socially integrated than they used to be. Instead of just being able to hide from or ignore stereotypes, it is often unavoidable. Nowadays, you have to deal with prejudices becausesociety is so integrated. I think people have gotten smarter over this time, and realized that inferiority based solely on race, religion, etc doesn't exist. Also, as time has gone on, I think people have realized that
The social norms of today are different than they were 100 years ago. People now want more equality, probably too much. The issue comes about when older people, who were brought up in a time were norms were far different than today, get into a discussion ith younger people about social beliefs. The younger people often look down on the older people but I do not think this is exactly fair, since the older people were simply raised in a different time. People also can look back in history and see what mistaes have been made, as to not make those mistakes again. This is obviously for the better, as the world 100 years ago was not near as good as it is today, reguardless that some people think otherwise.
Because less was known in those times than we know now. Times change and so do the minds of new generations of people. Some ideas were believed back then that we have now disproved through science and so on. Also, people were treated badly 100 years ag, and we learned from our past mistakes as humans and want to improve our behaviors and our society. Also, we change because to some degree we realized that things weren't working as they were, so we change. And th
Because over time, society has come to accept and learn about different cultures, races, and ethnicities, and more often, we have been able to put aside our differences and realize that everyone is unique and to be valued in society at large. There is mor acceptance of diversity, because we have been able to break down barriers between races and cultures, to a degree. In a word, social progress has happened and continues to happen that makes racist and ethnocentrist views be rejected by more people. This s not to say that prejudice does not persist, just that it has become somewhat less virulent over time, as we have advanced as a society. Much progress still must be fought for, as the rise of the Tea Party and other extremists shows that racism and prejuice i
Today people have lived together with these social prejudices for many years so they have grown out of it. It is now looked down upon especially in the big cites because of the huge diversity. Kids go to school with other races, and later go on to with wih them.
The changing values of culture over the last 100 years have lead to people rejecting belief systems that were taken as natural a century beforehand. This has come through a variety of influences, including changes in the educational system, inclusion of dverse voices in the realms of arts and education, and the shifting economic and social structures of our own nation. For example, it was taken as obvious in the e
because society has very much changed. Society has accepted and welcomes more diverse cultures, backgrounds, and races. We have much more tolerance and information about people than we did hundreds of yewars ago. We have also learned that being prejudice oes not benefit anyone or anything.
The bad beliefs from 100 years ago was terrible. We understand today that the beliefs that were shared 100 years ago are completely crazy and ridiculous. All people are created equally whether they have different races, religions, or anything else. 100 yers ago most people felt that the white man was better than everyone else, including white women, blacks, and anyone who wasn't a white man. Now we understand that women, blacks, and everyone else can do just as good if not better than some one who just sohappens to be a white man.
For most Americans, the way people thought 100 years ago was based upon ideas that people were not created equally- and the classes that were in power continued to show those types of behaviors to those "lower" classes. Over the years, people have becomemore educated and worldly, and they see more that people are generally the same no matter what their skin color is. For myself, economics deal more with what people think than the color of their skin. As the world becomes smaller due to techonolgy, peope begin seeing th
Because they have been bullied and brainwashed by the leftist elites who are hell bent on subjugating the masses under the heavy steel boot of a socialist government. If you resist by doubting their enlightened and therefore correct opinion you are brandd a heretic and ostracized by the social norms. One today must obey and hold everyone as equals even though they are not
Because times change and society changes... we don't do a lot of things from a hundred years ago. Thinking evolves and laws differ. We become more diverse and ethnicity becomes more blurred. We can't afford to be as prejudiced anymore.
Because this is a new time. Old time beliefs and racial profiling is simply hidden. it's also a taboo to be openly prejudice. So for someone in today's age to be prejudice would require that person to have a set of melons on them. Just think about Donald terling and his episode. His prejudice was out for the world to see. Although it may not have been
I think that most people strongly reject prejudiced social beliefs from 100 years ago for several main reasons. The first and most important, in my opinion, has been the changes in the laws over the last century. I think that several people initially belive that prejudiced beliefs are wrong and work to inact a law reflecting their beliefs. If the law is inacted, then others have to follow it, regardless of their actual beliefs. In time, I think the fact that prejudiced social beliefs that were once refleced in the law slowly become related to practices that have been deemed "illegal" and thus people change their views on such beliefs. I think at some level, a lot of people reject prejudiced social beleifs because they are associated with acts that are, toay, illegal or related to illegal actions. Another reason might be social pressures from others. We live in a much more connected society today and it's easier for
We live in a more socially diverse nation
I'm answering this question as if it were asking why society's social prejudices change. Over time, as people become more familiar with different groups, people learn more about each other. As people become more knowledable, prejudice goes away. Informatin is the antithesis of prejudice. Because people today are so much more knowledgable about different social groups, they know that these old prejudices are false and because of this vehemently reject the ignorant and often terrible prejudices of yesteryea
I believe most people reject archaic social prejudices due to more exposure of other cultures and the method of dialectics. Prejudice occurs when people are ignorant of the true nature of other groups of people and with advances in technology and easy metods to travel all over the world, more generations are exposed to people of different lifestyles that people of the past never had the chance to meet. When these people discover that these old prejudices are wrong, they use the method of dialectics to oppse them and these two forces fight resulting in more progressive thinking.
I feel like we have a more objective view on rights and liberties now, and we can see how narrow-minded that we were a hundred years ago.
People have gotten wiser. They no longer accept the antiquated beliefs of their forefathers such as the founding fathers of our country. They realize that the founding fathers are not the saints they were depicted to be. They were slave owners and wore podered wigs on their heads for goodness sakes. Many laws and ideas just became irrelevant over time. We now,the majority of people anyway, understand that all people are valuable regardless of rac
Prejudiced social beliefs come off as ignorant since they were based off of incorrect assumptions in the past. They are socially rejected because they are not founded on any facts, rather they are founded on ignorance, stubbornness and people's own short omings. The type of people that hold on to prejudiced social beliefs are afraid of changes because their lifestyle is threatened, in which they hold the social higher ground for no reason other than history.
In sports today, there are so many different races, and ethnicities. MLB is growing more diverse every year. Cubans, Dominicans, and Japanese players are being used more now than in the last 10 years. Players are getting better and prejudice is going down That being said, there are still prejudice people in each sport, but now were even looking at homosexuals getting a shot in the same locker rooms. Sports today is the one place where people can diversify and not be judged.
Most people today strongly reject prejudiced social beliefs from a hundred years ago, because we as a society have grown and evolved. Most people have realized that everyone should be treated equally no matter the color of their skin, nationality, or gendr. Although equality is still an issue, is as not as bad as it was a hundred years ago.
I would argue that thequestion is not valid because I don't belive most people do reject prejudiced social beliefs from a hundred ago. A hundred years ago would be 1914, this was before the civil rights movement of the 1960's demanded social change.
The world is changing and prejudice beliefs are no longer tolerated. People are taught from an early age to be more accepting and tolerant of differences.
As society we have evolved to understand that man is created equal. It does not matter what race or gender an individual is. Rather it matters how intelligent one is, and what type of character one maintains. Society is even evolving to the point of aceptance of different lifestyles. It is an interesting process.
The world was a much different place a hundred years ago. There were a lot of heinous beliefs back then about race, sexual orientation, etc. The human population has matured a lot more since then. We understand now that people are equal no matter what colr you are or who you are attracted to. It makes no sense to believe social beliefs like that that are so outdated when that is not how most people feel towards each other anymore. People just want to love and accept each other for who and what they are no and that is a lot better than how it used to
Because it is completely unfair to base one person on a group of people. It is possible not to like a group of people as a whole and still like individuals. It would be ignorant to say a group of people have no future and are horrible, because it is imposible to know for sure.
With increased diversity, integration, travel and technology people are more likely to interact with people different than themselves. I believe this is a major part in ending long standing prejudiced beliefs.
i think people in general came a long way. now we see a lot more diversity in our communities. we see a lot of mix race people so some people no longer view things as black and white any more. i think people are starting to look at one another as human bengs more and less as the color of their complexion.
Because as we have matured as a society through the years we have recognized the mistakes of our past. We see now that one can not control the color of their skin, their beliefs, nor their sexual orientation, so not only is it wrong to persecute someone fr them; it is immoral. Almost everyone has experienced a loved one, whether it be a family member or a friend, suffer through some sort of prejudice. We have seen the damage it can do to oneself and just how demoralizing and wrong it is.
Apologies, I am not following this question. Would have appreciated an example of one of the social beliefs you are referencing.
probably because social views of today are so different, there have been major changes to human value in nearly every decade, first women were treated as more equal, than blacks, than gays etc....
Society changes significantly even when the underlying morals haven't changed much. Appropriate words for different ethnicities and races change. A word that was considered polite 40 years ago can seem like an insult today. Additionally much progress hs been made in the area of civil rights, blacks in the US are looked at differently by most people today than they were 100 years ago. In fact the acceptability of maintaining a racial prejudice is
I feel that times have absolutely changed. We see such major shifts as the civil rights movement and such prominent figure heads as Martin Luther king. Also I feel there has been a cultural shift on the whole. I am optimistic that man kind in General is dveloping a greater understanding and compassion for his fellow man. I also feel that those who are against the prejudice have stepped up and made pre
I don't accept the premise. People are as prejudiced today as ever. Xenophobia is part of human nature. The evidence exists all around us in ethnic warfare in numerous parts of the world. It is easy for today's observers to condemn behavior so far away intime without recognizing that they are engaged in the same behavior.
I think people are aware of the dangers that previous prejudice had one society one hundred years ago. I think people have become more progressive and open minded. People are more willing to accept people for who they are and not judging based on a specifc characteristic. However, some people do bottle up their prejudice and hide it. They still have their prejudice beliefs but they know they are wrong or are no longer accepted and
People no longer have a "thick" skin. The majority of people today are offended by everything. That's why everything has to be politically correct. Moral traditions have been thrown out the window so we don't hurt any one's feelings.
because the past is the past and it had nothing to do with me for i was not there so i couldn't of done any thing wrong. why concern my self with what others think and feel. if i did not bothere them so why wo
I believe it is two-fold - better education and a widened social knowledge through modern media. People in most nations today receive a wide-ranging education about many cultures and their histories, allowing us to learn about the injustices of the past. n addition, through modern media (internet, television, etc.) we are exposed to people different than us on a nearly daily basis, making people of different races and cultures relatable
Times change and people change. Religion also changes but to a lessor degree. What was a belief in older times is not true today. That is life as people discover more about life and older times. It is evolution.
People change opinions and the social norms of the past are looked on negatively. There is also a need to feel that you are "better" or "wiser" than past generations were. Additionally, people do not want to seem bigoted or racist. Ostracism from others fr their beliefs is another potential reason. Lastly, people want to feel good about themselves and their beliefs.
Because that was so long ago it is silly to hold beliefs or not adapt to them to fit today's world. People have the right to have their own beliefs and to create and use them, not be bound by beliefs made up a long time ago. Also, we have found that thereis a lot of offensive and morally wrong 100 year old social beliefs as well.
People try to become more and more "politically correct" nowadays but more often than not they are being more stubborn and irrational in their thinking. Social beliefs have become what they are for a reason. The thoughts and ideas didn't come out of nowere, there is some basis to them at some point in history. Things do change but that doesn't mean all beliefs and thoughts can or have to be thrown away.
Society changes. Beliefs are that are simply accepted are challenged on the edges, then spread. As this radiates the old believes become quaint, finally absurd. Changes happens because some one challenges a norm, then it's a sort of social marketplace hat settles on a new state. Maybe that's nonsense, but not a lot of time to think about it.
I think people have become more interested in the character of people and have done away with the mindset of uncontrollable qualities that a person is born. The character of a person and how the treat others and society means more now than the color of teir skin or gender. Most people have come to realize that those old ways of thinking are wrong and unfounded and
I think because of the evolution of the younger generation. They think differently and are not so entitled to certain beliefs that we have loosened up on various morals.
Things were different back then.People were raised a certain way and were told to teach a certain way of life. Now days we are taught to make our own decisions about things or people. No one can take it from us the choices we make on our own on what to beieve. Back then these people did not know any other way of life but today we are free to make our own choices. Things were rigid and now not so much. Parents have gotten more lenient and allow their children to believe in free as opposed to being forced t think one way or another, We choose our own paths.
we believe that we have evolved from the ignorance of years ago. For a civilization to move forward, especially now, tolerance is greatly expected. We know are moving towards believing that all individuals are the same, regardless of social stature, rac, class, wealth, etc. It is getting less acceptable to treat people in a certain manner. An obvious example is race relations. No one today believes that one race is superior to another. Certain people do hold on to those beliefs, but it is less and lss socially acceptable. We are moving to a world of one culture, o
times have changed people now see that everyone is equal and should be treated equally
Because many people today seek to break away from the belief set of their parents that they want to also break away from any social beliefs their parents may have held. Plus, it is socially easy to reject the "old ways" for "better ways" even if the bette ways really aren't that much better (or are even worse!) There is a lot of hubbub about this and humanism seems to be the cause.
The trend of valuing a person as a person regardless of race, gender, or religion is growing and as such, we are much less inclined to dismiss a person based on one of those traits. In order to condone slavery, we agreed that the African was inherently stpid, violent, and willful and in doing so we saw the man as less than human. The same was done with women where we were convinced their uterus made them histrionic and crazy. Once we disregard such obviously wrong notions, we are forced to confront the fat that an African American can achieve just as much as a Caucasian if given the opportunity, that is the circumstances control the outcome far more than does the person's race or gender. The same is true for women where we once barred them from voting becuse we believe their gender ma

Mainly because they are wrong. Prejudicial beliefs have no place in our society. Regardless of what society was like or accepted 100 years ago prejudicial beliefs should be left there in order for our country to continue to improve. The desire to improve urselves and our country is why people reject prejudicial soc
The beliefs of a hundred years ago are no longer relevant. Woman do not only stay home with kids and cook and clean, they have jobs. Sometimes men stay home. Racism is not longer socially acceptable, we have learned we are all the same on the inside. It i not socially acceptable to have slaves, pay them nothing and use and abuse them. People are more open minded today, and are less likely to hols these social beliefs fr
Where I live I think that their is still a lot of prejudice people I live in Kentucky and racism is alive and strong in the town I grew up in. I think that for some people however seeing so many interracial relationships has helped a lot of people to movepast being prejudice especially when they end up have biracial grandkids
People seem to think that things from long ago just doesn't hold any kind of substance in todays world. It seems like a lot of people just want to be able to do whatever they want to do, so the old beliefs don't fit in their lifestyle. I'm not sure if the are wrong or right but I do see a lot of morals and ethics going down the drain. I also think a lot of people just refuse to grow up and do not want anyone telling them what to do. Being prejudiced is just plain wrong and should change
People today are rejecting prejudiced social beliefs from a hundred years ago because society has finally realized that just because you are different in whatever way (skin color, opinion, background, etc), it doesn't automatically make you a bad person. veryone has a different story about their life, and judging someone before you even talk to them is just wrong. Also, people today are a lot more educated about things. History is a valuable lesson about th
they are outdated and doesn't apply to society today
People today reject social beliefs from 100 years ago because our views on society have evolved over time and we now realize that just because we thought something in the past doesn't mean it was just and right. Slavery and racism are wrong and now we relize that all people should have the right to be afforded equal opportunities to achieve goals in their lives. It's unfair to restrict people based on silly things like race or religion.
Because society as a whole has grown to where we become much more accepting of people who are different from ourselves.
A lot of traditions of old go way back and never really had to make sense. Now that people are getting smarter, they question some things and make their own code of beliefs and values. People are just more c
Because we feel like we are more educated and tolerant than the people that lived 100 years ago
I think that we, as people, are always evolving and that over the course of a century, we have learned more and experienced more, which makes us more tolerable to "differences" that might not have been acceptable 100 years ago.
We live in a global world where, with the internet, television, radio and the possibilities of traveling, open up our experience with other cultures much more than it did so a hundred years ago. The same goes with social beliefs, since we are a lot more i contact with people from the other sex, cultures and social diversities, barriers and thoughts we might have had in the past are now replaced with open-mindedness and curiosity about the people that surround us.
I think that our experiences, and the experiences of our predecessors, have given most of us the perspective needed to reject prejudice. However, I also feel that an influential factor is the desire to seem less prejudiced. I don't think that the two fators are 100% in conflict, but I do think that many people think this way to seem (even to themselves) less prejudiced.
because circumstances and beliefs change. What was ok and believe to be true 100 years ago may not be true today.the environment and our life circumstances constantly change they are not the same as they were 100 years ago so things that were okay then ar not now
People are held more accountable. There is much more knowledge of how people act. In the past, one could act in a prejucdiced way isolated from much of the outside world. Also, attitudes have changed as information about prejudice has become more availabl. Deep down, people know certain behaviors are wrong, and once theses behaviors become widely known, they are forced to acknowledge the behaviors are wrong.
Because times have changed and peoples way of thinking are much different now. What worked 100 years ago does not work now and times changed and new ideas have been formed and science have explained whatever confusion may exist. They have become more acceting and
I believe that there has been a lot of progressive movements in the ways of minorities and women which have lead to a change in perception. Before, women and minorities were thought of as "lesser folk" and treated as such. With the civil rights movement and women's suffrage, the plight of these two groups has come more to the forefront of the nation and caused people to think differently. We are seeing that again in modern society with the LGBT movements. It all comes down to awareness and forcing peole to think differently about how they view other people. Additionally, as psychology changes and we get to understand more and more about the psyche of the human brain, we get to understand the needs, wants, desires, an
I really don't know this answer, but It could just be that people are tired of it. Why do people have to treat each other so poorly? It's not fair and we are humans, we should all be treated well, and all being respectful of each other. I know this isn't ossible. I'm tored of the crime and thug behavior that comes with social classes. We need to go to school, get educated, and be somebody. People just need to try harder to succeed,
Our society has changed drastically from 100 years ago. So, it's only natural that we're not going to have the same beliefs and views as society develops, along with science and culture.
There is more access to knowledge and world events today, so it is easier to see that most people around the world are just like us in the important ways. Plus, society now knows that each person is an individual, and "normal" can have many different meanngs. Also, other cultures have different interpretations of "normal". What's good in our culture may not be good in another. We have more tolerance for differences.
Most people today are more accepting of different lifestyles and different situations. Through media, TV and the internet people have been exposed to a wide variety of things and our definition of normal has changed. Science has also had an impact, it hasdisproved a lot of previous misconceptions on the part of the general public. For example, people used to think Native Americans were stupid and had a smaller brain. It is now known that they are just a different skin color and have slightly different phyical attributes, but they are people like everyone else. Also with the integration of schools and communities, children have the oppertunity
Alot of the world has changed in the past 100 years. Advancements in life have changed alot of people's thinking and we now know alot more about how the world works. 100 years ago there was slavery, no automobiles, no electronics. Most places had no form f electricity then either.
Society is so different today that the same logic can not be made from 100 years ago to today. As times change, so do beliefs, and many things are not as structured as they use to be due to mixing of races and beliefs.
Society has changed quite a lot compared to 100 years ago. It's not fair to be held to the same standard and beliefs when society is not even the same anymore.
they are trying to be politically correct about stupid shit
Most people today are, in my opinion, more open minded. 100 years ago a white woman dating a black man would be considering blasphemy, while in today's society it is not uncommon at all. I think also the fact that it becomes more common also makes it moresocially acceptable for these types of social beliefs to exist.
I think it just has to do with the evolution of people and society in general. Laws that were passed helped, definitely. When laws that forced integration were adopted more people starting interacting with those who were discriminated against. I believ that as time went on people realized there's no reason to have prejudice towards a group of people when in so many ways they are just like us. Those views were passed on to the next generation and so on. That's why today we see much lower levels of preudice. It will always be there because people are passing down those negative views and it will never go away but I do think it will continue to get better and better. That's all I can think of.
People reject prejudiced social beliefs because those ways were how they were back then. Times change and people's beliefs also change. They are usually rejected because they are outdated, and the prejudice was probably due to reasons that would make no snse in today's world.
I think because people have learned so much about the underpinnings of homosexuality and racism. Also, people have a lot less religious belief than they do 100 years ago. We've gone through two world wars, the invention of the H bomb, and the invention f the birth control pill, which divorced sexuality from procreation. I think that we're still reeling from all the changes and scientific discoveries and things will keep changing for a good long while. Also, the invention of IVF and surrogate mothers, he entrance of women into the workforce, and the internet has changed the world and people's perception of it. I'm not sure everybody DOES reject prejudicial beliefs, though. Look at how many unarmed black men have been killed by the police this year. nce
People feel that they have evolved from those beliefs. A lot of those beliefs led to harmful and hurtful things being done and people mostly want to think they've moved beyond that. So they reject those ideas because it helps them to feel like they are beter than the past and have learned. And in many cases it is of course true! People have learned from their mistakes and they have had a societal change of heart. Those ideas are outdated and antiquated. They no longer have a place in our society so peoplereject them as a way of moving society forward. No one wants to be stuck in the past, they want to believe they can move forward and learn. Change is dependent on humans thinking and feeling and behaving this way. And it's strong bevcau
Because being accepting of all people has become the dominant attitude for most people. They feel the pressure to fit in, as well as generally feel the attitude is the correct one to have.
The World has changed a lot in the past 100 years. Change brings about different beliefs and norms among societies. What may have been thought of as blasphemous 100 years ago is part of our daily lives now.
I'm not sure I understand the question. If you are asking why do people refute the existence of the strong prejudice that existed a hundred years ago, I would say, who does? I believe it happened. I believe that we were strongly prejudice. But it's just hrder to grasp and put into context when we are a hundred years away. Sure I can see it sometimes, see how people were rude and stereotyped others on
I think because so much has happened in our history that we are progressing towards a more equal society. We condemn actions from 100 years ago because we have seen and we have learned about the horrible treatment people have endured. We do not condone it and we strive to make it better. However, I am sure a hundred years from now, history books will be condemning our current generation for something else. We would like to believe that the current generation is the best it's going to get, but I sincerely ope that we continue to work
Our society has changed. It certainly wasn't overnight but the process has gradually been in motion for a very long time. Women have fought for rights, African Americans have fought for rights... These groups and many others are now seen as equals and old positions that were never thought possible. To view beliefs a hundred years ago now seems crazy. We are used to a society that embraces equality.
Times have changed. The social norms of one hundred years ago (1914) are very different now. At that time, women were second class citizens, not allowed the freedoms they have today. All social beliefs have changed, from sexism, to racism, to economic staus, to educational status.
I believe people strongly reject prejudiced social beliefs from a hundred years ago because it's absolutely pointless. As time has moved on, we've come to learn that everybody is the same, and everybody has the same abilities when they apply themselves. Te color of your skin, for example, doesn't make you a better or worse worker. The color of your skin isn't going to wear off onto me if we share the same water fountain. I think people finally saw the type of treatment people were receiving and finally pu themselves in their shoes. How would they like it if they were unfairly treated simply because they were a different color or loved another man/woman? It just doesn't make sense. We preach love this love that love your neighbor, but then get disgusted atthe site of a black person or another man kissing another man. It's called love. How can love be such a terrible thing? I think social media now is making us
I think most people reject prejudiced social beliefs from a hundred years ago because times have changed. People think differently and their minds are more open. People in the past thought a certain way and never really thought of change.
Because people have learned that we all equal and no race is better
As humans, we are unable to hold enormous amounts of complex information in our head at one time. Moreover, we're only capable of holding meaningful connections with a limited number of people at one time. This means that in order to understand the vast mjority of people that we encounter in our day, we must use a preexisting set of assumptions. Without these assumptions, it would be difficult to function. Stereotypes are not all bad things. They can help us categorize and go about our tasks more quicky. To say "Asians tend to be good at math" is, in a way, true - Asian-American students tend to score higher on math standardized tests than Caucasian and students. However, the problem is in assigning those traits to a particular person: that is, saying,"Because you are Asian, you must be good at math." We have begun to recognize in today's society that not only were many of our prejudices based on false suppositions, but also that we apply them too rea
Because a hundred years ago the beliefs that people held are completely different then today. No rights for blacks or women for example. As people who wanted rights started to fight for their right people in power saw that change was needed and that the bliefs that they had in place needed to change. Many people today would look back at those beliefs and wonder how people even had or thought of beliefs that way.
I have no idea why. I think it may be due to the fact that we have completely changed the way we live, newer technologies have been invented and created that have changed our social situations which changed the way we believe things should be done.
There is a lot more infomation available today than 100 years ago. During this time, prejudices and social beliefs have been tested over and over again. Some have been prove true and keep; while others have be proven false and rejected. Time is a goodjudge of most things.
I believe they reject prejudiced social beliefs from the past because the past is sooutdated. We at one time believed the world was flat but we now know that is not true because that was outdated. The same goes as far as peoples perceptions of the worldas the world evolves and that includes prejudiced social beliefs. Unfortunatly, we have not evolved as much as I would like as social prejudice is still alive and well, however, we are in a much better place than
Most people today reject those beliefs because we are in a different era. People are raised with certain values and the media, books, and movies have implemented these values in them. In a way, it was a sort of "brain-wash" just as the prejudiced beliefs ere brainwash from parents and actions of people from those times. Before the civil rights era people were raised in completely different belief systems.
because most people in this country have more access to information, the more information they have the better understanding of people and cultures they will have. Also we tend to sometimes learn from past mistakes, so we don't stumble upon them again andagain.
Social beliefs a hundred years ago included racism, bigotry, sexism, and xenophobia. The treatment of blacks, women, and foreigners a hundred years ago would be unthinkable to do at this day and age.
People today have grown up with people of differing social beliefs and therefore get used to them. You are able to understand the other persons perspective better. Also, other people's views don't necessarily intrude on your own views.
Because that is the "thing" to do. People are just sheep. They will usually do what ever seems to be what everyone else is doing, or is what the hollywood people say.
Because the only constant is change. Some of the things people believed 100 years ago isn't even relevant to what today's society believes. Things change, and society needs to accept that. I can't think of a lot of things that were relevant society belief 100 years that are still relevant today. Gays weren't allowed to marry 100 years ago, now things are changing and people need to accept that. I think they strongly reject social beliefs from 100 years ago because maybe they don't like change, or it just oesn't seem right according to them. I suppose believing something for a long time and having new things come up can be a big change for some people.
Some people are too tied in with tradition. Religion is the biggest example of a belief proven to be just stories captivate a civilization advanced as us. Our kind has came a long way due to evolution. Our brain continuosly grows and expands on the old idas. Once our country starts funding science
I believe that today represents a new chapter in society. All prejudiced beliefs that were relevant 100 years ago should be tossed away. This is a different generation and we should have new ideals & goals to live for. We all need to live together as brthers and sisters and have a firm belief in God.
most people reject such beliefs because their experience of the world is different from people 100 years ago. Due to travel, communications, immigration, and other societal factors, we know a lot more about each other these days, and this has a great dealto do with what people are willing to accept. If something is unknown or foreign to you, it's easier to be afraid of it. But if you become familiar with it, you aren't so afraid. A hundred years ago, for example, most europeans had limited or no experienc with,
I don't think most people do reject them. Depending on the area and background in which you grew up, they could most certainly still be alive in most people. Even if people don't seem to harbor these feelings, they probably hold them deep inside, or at east keep them to themselves. The people that do reject them have understood that there are more factors than appearance that make someone behave the way they do.
Thanks to modern technology people have more social interaction with each other. They are more app to speak to each other and can understand each other more clearly. Thanks transportation and highways it is easier to talk with one another also. Inter racil dating and desegregation also plays a major role in how people see each other as well.
I believe that social beliefs from the past are rejected today because of technology. Thanks to the internet, television, and other medias, people have access to a wider range of opinions and they can see other cultures around the world. This will open thir minds to new ideas which they would have never thought about in the past. If you have experience with other cultures, you'll be less likely to hold on to social stereotypes because
I think people realize that 100 years ago people were a bit more ignorant in their beliefs and now have a better understanding of other cultures. Some of that comes from the civil rights movements of the mid 20th century and part of it is globalization tht has led more exposure to different cultures. From a young age you are exposed to more walks of lives than you were 100 years ago so you grow up more accepting and never realize the prejudiced social beliefs of the past.
I think most people reject prejudiced social beliefs because those beliefs were unfair, and very biased. I think people have seen how those beliefs were in error. People understand how wrong most of those beliefs were.
People today strongly reject prejudiced social beliefs from a hundred years ago because they feel like we have come a long way and that times have changed. They feel like we need to change our beliefs too! When they look at everything that HAS changed i the last 100 years, it's hard to believe that WE can't change with it!
I believe that this is because the world has become a much smaller place in the last 100 years. We have seen people from all around the world create beautiful art, invent wonderous inventions, and cure diseases previously though to be incurable. Communiations have advanced to the point where sending a message takes milliseconds instead of months, and the news of these deeds travels to us at the speed of light. The possibility for empathy is greater than the world has ever known because our knowledge of
I think that, as society changes, over time, societal norms about prejudice change, too. A hundred years ago, women's voting rights were hotly debated. Now we take it for granted that women have the same rights as men and are able to vote, open checking acounts, and run businesses. Many different civil rights issues have been debated over the past hundred year - civil rights
In todays society everyone is moving towards a "treat people equally" mindset and they are realizing how cruel people could be several years ago. Being treated fairly and equally is being taught at very young ages.
Prejudiced social beliefs? I wish people did reject them. I think there still are prejudice social beliefs. Our society would be better off today if people did reject these beliefs but it is a sad thing that especially in the south there is prejudice belifs and of course there is prejudice social beliefs against immigrants. We see this e
Because those beliefs are based on old perceptions that have been challenged in the interm time. Also people tend toward outside the box actions ar least a few time in a lifetime. So there is already a tradition against the older traditions.
The beliefs are archaic and outdated, there is no place for such beliefs in modern society.
Being prejudiced has been highly stigmatized. We have tendency to shun those with prejudicial beliefs. The "othering" of different people has been shown to not be based on any scientific reason and that it is only based on hate. This is tricky, I am strugling to articulate my thoughts on the subject clearly.
who knows. people are people, and they will act ignorant or not. one thing ive learned about this world is you have to take the good with the bad......the world balances so if there is a lot of good people, there is a lot of bad people. I don't know exacty why people reject prejudiced social beliefs. I live in the now, and live on the beach so I have know worries or care in the world. I wish people were more positive. the power of positive thinking......sigh!
Prejudiced social beliefs are a product of culture and upbringing, and the world has changed so drastically in the past 100 years that these beliefs have become less prevalent. Also, in a liberal, economically prosperous and most importantly a stable socity, people have less reason to be prejudiced.
They do so in order to pursue a sense of fairness, justice and equality.
people rejcet them because they realize that everyone is created equal and deserves a fair chance in life. not to have their life taken over and owned.
People have learned from history that prejudiced social beliefs are morally wrong and unfair and hurtful and unkind. People have developed more open minds since that time and have learned to accept people's differences no matter what they are. People ar more educated now and different groups have mixed together and people have discovered that people are people, no matter what.
additional scientific explanation of cause and effect has show the equality of the human race. We have evolved in uor ability to understand the diffenceds in prople around the
Because we have evolved as a society. 30 years ago you could not even view sex on tv or have seen homesexuality on tv. Today it is everywhere. We have become a more tolerant society.
I can think of three reasons: Social change; knowledge; and economic change. Taking the last first, economic change influences beliefs about prejudice - for instance, economic dependence on slavery in the South (USA) buttressed belies about race in Ameria until tobacco and cotton became less necessary crops. Knowledge often changes prejudice -- so the idea that autistic people are mentally stupid has changed with greater scientific study of the intelligence of autistic people. Social norms also chang
We live in a completely different time than we did 100 years ago. our communities have become for the most part completely integrated, and we have fought for social equality across the board for so long. Even though there are a lot of people who still hol the same beliefs that were so commonplace 100 years ago, in the not so distant future I b
Because they have discovered that it is stupid and counterproductive to live life that way. Also, because those who were rejected stood up and fought back agains these social beliefs and this helped change things as well. Modern society has also contribted and new ideas.
I genuinely believe that most people realize the wrongdoing of prejudiced social beliefs. People wanted to stop making the same mistakes and mistreating people simply because of who they are. There is still a minority of people that hold these beliefs ad blatantly mistreat others for no good reason. However, the majority of people, I believe, make a genuine effort to get along with others, regardless of what they look, sound, and act like. Additionally, people that publicly express prejudiced beliefs re almost universally shamed and o
People want to think that they have advanced from those ideas that they now consider "wrong" and uncivilized. The way we have moved forward is important to our self-identity. We need to be different, and better, than we were before. We want to be seen s the most advanced socially that we have ever been. Now, we can focus on the important things in life. The social beliefs of the past should stay in the past. We are living in the "future" so we should have advanced ideas about equality, and we shouldbe too intelligent to not accept someone for t
Times have changed. People have all become equal compared to a hundred years ago. For instance, there's no slavery, women are allowed to vote, etc. There's more opp
People today have discovered that prejudices are not based on facts but on myths are hearsay. We have evolved as a population to become more open minded and accepting of others. Also travel and entertaiment have made outside cultures or ethinic groups mor easily accessable to learn from and interact with. Prejudices are bad but having opinions are ok, you really don't have to like everyone.
everyone wants to be nice and follows the status quo on what is acceptable or not.
Most people reject previous prejudice social beliefs because society itself has changed. Women were thought to be homemakers, taking care of the house and the idea of them working was non-existent. But now woman aren't looked down on if they don't marry if they have a job, if they do what they want to do. The old way of thinking is just that, old. Times changed, situations changed. People realized that the old way would not work even if they liked it.
Because i think there are people who would like to think there is no more prejudice in the world. Sadly there is still some prejudice even though it is not as bad as it was a hundred years ago.
There were strong feelings that some people were not being treated fairly and that social change was needed. Society also slowly changed with the times toward fairer treatment. Practices become antiquated as more scrutiny and media attention are poured on
Because at time goes, opinions evolve, just like gays use to be looked at as a crazy or mentally disable knowledge and information/science can change beliefs. People can't argue with the sucess or lack there of those prejudice times. Would you rather be o the wrong/right side of the fence, as time goes it because
Society has changed tremendously in 100 years. More truth has been discovered about many things where ignorance prevailed years ago.
I attribute this to being afraid of being rejected by others. People want to fit in with the crowd, and will lie or change their opinion so that they fit in. Several high profile people have used absurdly flawed arguments to make certain things seem okay,so the general populace really wants to fit in with that mold. I don't think it necessarily reflects their actual opinion. If a person has a strong opinion about one of these issues, they probably haven't thought it out very well either. For example, large majority of gay marriage proponents are atheist, and therefore accept evolution wholly and entirely. However, this presents an interesting conflict
I believe that most people today reject it because we know better and more is expected us as a society. 100 years ago many derogatory terms were considered standard in normal speech, today people will want to fight you for using those words in a public veue. I think we are more tolerant and knowledgeable of people's racial background's, their sexual preferences and what religion or lack of religion people choose to follow. I am grateful to live in today's word as oppossed to the bigoted times of the past nd hope in time people become even more understanding and tolarting of one another.
Today most people strongly reject prejudiced social beliefs because there is an increasing awareness that people, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, etc., are in some sense the same--we are all human. The differences and the preferences or opnions about those differences are increasingly being seen as culturally informed, not scientific. In other words, there is no right or wrong way to be. We are who we are largely as a result of where we grew up, our surroundings. Advocacy initiatives, poliical activism, etc. are much more accessible because of modern media, social media, etc., again contributing to the disintigration of
I think it is because we have developed so much technologically and industrially that the roots of beliefs have changed and what applied 100 years ago doesn't apply anymore today.
because times have changed, and social changes over that time period result in different views.
People reject those beliefs from those time periods because times are different now. Equality rights have vastly improved, and there have been many great activists over time to help change the minds of many.
I think feelings have evolved. People are more educated now. In the past, there was more limited information. Now there is not. I think people are also more openminded. So when it comes to having ignorant feelings like this, people find it more unaccptable.
One reason is because beliefs today are more transparent to a much larger group of society. What might be tolerated in a small group of people is not accepted by society as a whole and those pockets of belief are forced to adjust their behaviors. There isalso much more education on issues today.
Most people reject prejudiced social beliefs from a hundred years ago because of large events that occurred as result of those beliefs. Racism towards African Americans that resulted in hate crimes, hateful groups, and legalized segregation are now lookeddown upon due to the horrible things that were done to fellow humans. While some of those beliefs are still held by some small groups today, largely the majority of people are ashamed of our past and want to distance themselves as much as possible by rejeting those beliefs and working towards a better social world. In a small degree, science has also helped us reject old belief
The last one hundred years has seen a strong rise in the "progressive trend" in human society. The American Progressive movement in the early 1900s, the failure of European politics with the two world wars, and increasing western influence throughout the orld has led to the idea that "old is bad". Prejudiced social beliefs from one hundred years ago are strongly rejected as antiquated, ill-informed, and ultimately failures. Couple the
People today do not reject prejudiced social beliefs from 100 years ago. Many people are still prejudiced, and simply mask their bigotry because they would be ostracized for them. It is not so much that people are less prejudiced today, it is simply that t is less socially acceptable. There are misguided people who will dislike people unlike themselves no matter what happens, and I think it would be nearly impossible to change that, even with progress
It is easier to understand why people today strongly reject prejudiced social beliefs from a hundred years ago just based on the fact that we are an ever changing society. What was once accepted at one time is rejected in another and vice versa. Its how or society is set up and will most likely carry on that way for another 100 years. People attitudes of whats right and wrong are constant
They do not want others to judge them by outdated beliefs, so they try not to judge others by them. It is not socially acceptable to be prejudice anymore if they have to behave in a socially acceptable way, then everyone else should behave in the same wa. They may have certain beliefs, but they will try to behave in socially acceptable ways.
We have grown as people, to stay with the same racist and prejudiced views would only lead to problems. We are starting to become more unified as a whole and keeping those racist views or people of different color or backgrounds would not help at all. Mor and more we realize that people are equal, we still have many that are not joining this realization but in time things will change.
I belive that most people today strongly reject prejudicated social beliefs from a hundred years ago because most people are stuck in there ways and don't like to change there view of things
I believe that over the last 100 years we (overall) have started to realize that people are people regardless of color or religion. More and more races and religions are intermarrying making it more difficult to know what race/religion each person is. he way people were treated in the past was terrible and we would not
Things are a lot different now than they were 100 years ago, we see examples of acceptance everyday, we have matured as a nation, we are more intergrated
They reject it because society is gradually progressive. They want to adapt and assimilate with the culture and belief of today than of those of a 100 years ago. By willingly to accept those belief of 100 years ago, it can lead people to having a negativeimpression of them.
I think that changing society has played a big role. We have become more accepting to all people, which is good. People are beginning to see that everyone is equal and we should not treat people different because of race, age, gender, or any other reason.We have also come a long way in our country in many other areas which I believe plays a part because there are things that have happened in those other areas that have prepared the way and conditioned our society to be more accepting. I'm not really sure hy there were pr
I think it has a lot to do with how people are socialized to think. It's not that we're greatly more advanced than human beings from a hundred years ago, but instead that the tireless work of many individuals and leaders gradually changed what is sociallyacceptable. A child being raised today (and I realize that there are many exceptions to this throughout the United States) will likely not be taught to feel a strong hatred towards members of a different race (again, lots of exceptions, I know), and thus inds the belief that one should do so to be rather strange. Indeed, our rejection of certain social positions seems no different than our rejection of passed scientific ideas; we aren't naturally any more intelligent than those who believed in a geocentri model of the universe, we've just had the luck to be born in a time in which such a belief was no longer widely held and so we weren't socialized to believe it.
Because things are completely different. People are different and they have different views. The times have changed, and the people, of course, have changed with it. People have become more brave and outspoken than they used to be, and although they may hve had ill-feelings towards prejudice social beliefs in the past, they are able to speak about it now. It was acceptable for numerous people to have those prejudice beliefs 100 years ago, whereas today it is not.
I think we have evolved as a society and therefore have overcome those. Although some people may think there is still racism/prejudice in america we can show proof that is slowly disappearing. Black president, more women CEOs, more Latinos getting jobs,and Asian Americans continue to become prominent members. However, some prejudices still exist in lifestyle. However, there is a regression in religion as Christians are not being prejudiced against. It has become a pendulum in a way. Overall though sciety has improved and evolved I believe.
I believe that most people refuse to reject prejuidiced beliefs from the past because the baby boomers are still alive. Frankly, with the new generation growing up today I do see this being a reality in the future. Perhaps there will always be a small minrity of people who will refuse to change, but I frankly believe that America is ready to move on from the past and set course for a better, brighter, futrue.
It's ingrained in us now. A lot of it has been proven that it was a bunch of bullshit. Easily available sources of knowledge are everywhere. I can learn just about anything I'd like and you can too. That's why people don't do things they did a hundrd years ago. We're "smarter"
I feel that most people strongly reject prejudiced social beliefs from a hundred years ago because they know them to be wrong and they feel that they need to change their mindset regardless if they actually think them to be wrong. In this society today, i is just not acceptable to be prejudice against any particular race or gender so most people will reject all prejudices and try to stay politically correct. In reality, we should not be affraid to think what we want just because other people may not agreewith it. We should value and keep true to what beliefs we have regardless of what other people think of them. If you want to hate every other race besides your own, Do so.
People reject these beliefs because they fancy that they themselves are more refined and socially evolved then their progenitors. Perhaps it is due to higher levels of education across the populace. However, I do not personally believe that people are atually any better than they were. When push comes to shove, the prejudices will always manifest themselves.
I believe the country has progressed to the point where it strongly rejects the prejudiced social beliefs from a hundred years ago. I dont think most people either a) morally are opposed to it or b) are afraid of public opinion of sharing prejudiced socal beliefs from a hundred years ago. There are a lot of people who feel one way, but will say another because of fear of being shunned by society,
I believe society has began to see the error in the prejudiced social beliefs from the past. Society has began to understand all humans have equal value. The life of every human is valuable and all people deserve equal chances. I do believe in our socity in the United States we are overcompensating for the past prejudices. We go out of our way to make sure that no minority is ever offended even in the sl
Most people reject social beliefs from 100 years ago because the antiquated and no longer relevant in today's society. These prejudiced beliefs are old, biased, and entirely unfair to the vast majority of people living at this moment.
Because attitudes about what is right and wrong have changed. I think that has a lot to do with technology. 100 years ago if there was an earthquake in California and you were in Texas then you didn't hear about it or you felt like it was a million miles way so it didn't affect you. whereas now images of the distruction are all over the tv and newspapers so you feel more compasion for the people of California. So when you see a bla
People have grown and changed since 100 years ago. The world has become a bigger place - people are now able to meet others different from them and get to know them as people, which is the best way I know of to overcome prejudice. In the past people wer very parochial and didn't leave home that much. So all they knew were the people around them, who were largely of the same race and belief structure. We are tribal creatures; we are afraid of the unknown, the different. So we automatically reject those wo are different from us and cling to the familiar. But today we are able to span continents in hours, and meet people virtually from around the world. This knowledge and understanding strikes directly at that ignorance and fear and dissipates it. In a sese, strangers we meet become part of our tribe. W
A lot of "scientific" ideas about race and gender were constructs to prop up certain ideologies of empire or regieme and not based in true science. We have also gotten better about minorities learning and having access to disruptive tools to media that alows them to present their side with more clarity. The most recent #Ferguson campaign is a good example of a horrific crime that would have been ignored had activists in the civil rights movements adapted to new digital platforms to gain media attention tothe problem.
Perhaps "most people today strongly reject prejudiced social beliefs from a hundred years ago" because modern-day social engineering has trained people to think of all races and people as equals. Maybe people feel good pretending to themselves that they on't form judgments and don't have prejudices. Perhaps being mindless and non-discerning allows people to be more-easily trained by entities that want the general public to be passive and non-resistant to the tactics that are used to control society.
People are shrugging off old systems of beliefs and are starting to think for themselves more. People are realizing that it makes no sense to judge someone base on the color of their skin and are instead making each a case by case basis. There are good an bad people of all colors and realizing this goes beyond simple political correctness.
i think most people do because even 100 years ago, society knew it was wrong but didn't care to fix it, now they know its wrong and know how important it is to fix it. Also I think society has forced people to behave more without prejudice now that they vew it as wrong. Internally I bet people's thoughts on prejudice has not changed completely. Basically they are still racist slightly and still prejudice but society no longer views this as acceptable behavior so they have pushed th
Because of the effect of social media. Everyone nowadays are seeing different points of view and are now starting to form their own opinions based on two or more sides of the story rather than just one.
The times have changed. People of different races no longer live exclusively apart. We now go to school t
I think it is because as a whole, people are changing over short periods of times. If we look at the culture even from the 1990's, it is different today. People want to change and embrace change, and the prejudiced beliefs from the past would not work in odays society so the idea was abandoned as a whole.
As new generations were created and came more into prominence, their changing beliefs became stronger and stronger until beliefs held 100 years ago are no longer accepted.
Because people have changed their way of thinking and progressed to believe that we needed equality. Everyone should be treated equally. Times change causing the people and ways of thinking to change as well.
People today strongly reject prejudiced social beliefs from a hundred years ago because they are outdated. We have much more knowledge today than compared to 100 years ago. Therefore, we can make better decisions with this new knowledge. Antiquated belefs are often rejected because they stem from some kind of knowledge or past event that is irrelevant or that we know more about today.
Because the younger generation was raised this way. As time has passed people have become smarter and are willing to reject these beliefs. As our parents have done this they have passed it down to us. Society has gone through many difficult times to overcme these prejudiced beliefs, and we have learned from them .
I FEEL IT IS BECAUSE SOCIETY HAS CHANGED TO ALLOW INTERACTION BETWEEN RACES THAT WE DID NOT SEE 100 YEARS AGO. 100 YEARS AGO, PEOPLE WERE MORE "CLANNISH" ABOUT STAYING AROUND PEOPLE WHO WERE LIKE THEMSELVES AND DID NOT SEE ANY PORTION OF THE LIVES OF OTHR RACES. NOW WITH THE TYPE OF MEDIA WE HAVE AVAILABLE, PEOPLE ARE GETTING GLIMPSES INTO THE LIVES OF OTHERS NOT LIKE THEM AND LEARN THAT THEY MAY DEEM DIFFERENT, BUT THEIR LIVES ARE NOT THAT DIFFERENT FROM THEIR OWN. THAT ALLOWS
Because people are learning that everyone is different and different doesn't necessarily mean worse.
Society as a whole has changed. People see the value more in each individual and know that all because one person is from a certain group of people does not mean that they are inferior. As a whole, society has shifted more toward acceptance verses exclusin. Not that there is not any prejudices left, but prejudices as a whole have become frowned upon. One big reason of shift is the communication levels that we have today such as the internet, radio, and television. These communication media has resulted inin
I really believe that the reason they do reject social beliefs from 100 years ago is that most of these beliefs center on a belief in God. Going further back, the US constitutions was written with a consensus by the founders that God is the author of allthings and this was reflected in their writings. After God went "out of fashion" with the prolifence of liberalism, all social beliefs and attitudes suddenly turned to if it feels good, do it"
I would imagine it is because of the actions that followed those belief systems. The belief that blacks were inferior was followed by heinous actions including slavery, rape, and hanging. The idea that women were inferior was followed by arranged marriage, women being abused and unable to leave, and women not being allowed to own things even family money handed down to them.
People reject prejudiced social beliefs from a century ago because it reminds them of a part of themselves that they would rather forget-- the savage, unenlightened, underdeveloped animalistic side. Furthermore, it seems to be an innate human desire to se oneself apart from one's predecessors in a way that makes one feel more advanced or more evolved. Sentiments may not have actually changed in that time, but people will find a way to invent change where none exists. An example of this lies in the fact tht some people wish to believe that racism no longer exists in America because of perceived changes to social justice, human rights, and
I don't know if most do but enough do to move the needle. Religion plays a less important role now, so people's mind are more free. Some are more prejudiced than ever though and they want it encoded in law.
Our society has become more open and inclusive, particularly in the past 20-30 years. We now know it is unacceptable to judge people based on things they cannot control, such as race, gender, sexual preference, etc. We know that everyone should be treatedequally. (But I would argue that "most" people are still prejudiced, even if they don't show it openly.)
Mostly because our mental and emotional lives are far more introspective, leading to greater compassion and kindness in general. We have more free time, meaning more time for introspection, meaning more social justice.
People today reject prejudgice social beleifs because we are trying to change the prejudgice ways of soceity. We have came a long way in 100 years. We now do not have slaves, and blacks are given the same oppurtunity as whites. We want us all the be equaland have the same chance as others have. We all want to part of one big group with no discriminat
Things have changed in the last hundred years. People have learned more and have evolved. Although I think there are still a lot of people that still accept archaic prejudiced social beliefs.
The world has evolved into a more accepting place. The decrease in nationalistic feelings has helped a bit as well. For the most part though I believe that the thought that we are all humans is more prevalent. We look more towards how we are similar rathe than focusing on all of the ways we are different. The internet has also made us a lot more accepting. The large amount of anonymity as well access to information helps everyone out to release their prej
Prejudiced social beliefs from 100 years ago are rejected as our society progressives and learns more about each other from historical and cultural aspects. As superstition and dogma are replaced with science and logical arguments, we're learned that our ifferences are actually very small when compared to our similarities. The differences that exist tend to be superficial, such as skin color, facial features, height, weight, etc., while our similarities have been exposed through the globalization of our wrld. Places like China and India were once thought to be incredibly far away, and most people never would never dream of visiting those lands. Today, however, we can be on a
Most of what people believed in 1914 were not moral or equal. Segregation and women's rights have came a long way. Most people believe now that everyone is equal, thanks to great men like martin luther king and john kennedy.
I would say that it has almost become trendy to do so. People seem to enjoy fighting about social issues and they are relatively easy to find. It also seems simpler to blame people in the past for current problems.
Hopefully it is a sign that humans are evolving socially. It means we can learn about how to treat each other as well as gaining scientic knowledge.
I feel that a lot of it has to do with the education we've received regarding equality in recent history. Most of us have grown up being told that everyone is equal so that's what a lot of us believe. As for how things got this way, probably due to advancments in communications technology and more diverse living conditions. It gets harder to be prejudiced against someone when you can actually meet and understand them.
Because many of those beliefs were morally wrong. One example I can think of is slaves. Unfortunately at the time nobody thought anything of it, however it is morally wrong to "own" someone and force them to do whatever you want.
Different times now. People's opinions have changed in 100 years. More rights have been granted and the old ways seem archaic. It's just the evolution of the human race. 100 years from now things will be completely changed as well.
I believe that people reject prejudiced beliefs from 100 years ago because we live in a global society now and like it or not we are all interconnected. I believe that with each generation we lose more and more of our prejudices as we move towards a worldthat is free of racial and cultural bounds. Besides older ways of thinking are antiquated and have no place in a modern society.
Humans as a collective have grown as a whole, and have begun to realize that there isn't any bad thing about being a homosexual, or of a different race. We have finally grown to be a more understanding society.
people are more connected than they were before. people are also able to access information and educate themselves more. the bubble is not as thick as it was before
People do this because they are more connected with everyone else around them then 100 years ago. Transportation and media and general knowledge has let people go beyond living under a rock and having people tell them false facts. Now you can decide foryourself whats what by actually seeing for yourself because you have less limitations on the whole compared to 100 years ago. Annnnnnnnnnnnnd post.
Most people reject prejudiced social beliefs from a hundred year ago because society has grown collectively to understand that all men are created equal, and peaceful leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. taught people the righteous, loving way to turn negaive into a positive racially (unlike today's White House leaders who provoke violence, poverty and racism). We as a country have moved past the notion that races should not marry as we learned "acceptance" on a large national level. Things have been growng better and racial relations had been improving steadily until 2008 when we elected a president and attorney general who really don't like white people
Because people had a very different view of things 100 years ago. There were things like eugenics at the time that were trying to prove why one race was superior to other races. There are still some people who believe that today, but it's a lot less maistream. 100 years ago, there were people who had lived through the Civil War and Reconstruction - the attitudes towards African Americans were much lower than today. People discussing things like homosexuality or even something like depression were not ut in the open and not understood.
Most people strongly reject prejudiced social beliefs from a hundred years ago because society has progressed enough to see past most of the prejudices that existed over a century ago. We now accept more behaviors, races, religious beliefs, etc socially tan ever before because we now better understand the roots of where most of these characteristics come from . We iunderstand that some of these past social issues cannot be avoided as they are not a choice or we recognize with acceptance the fredom that sold be alloowed to most human beings. The world is now ever progre
I am not sure that this is true of most people, however I believe that a significant number of people are more tolerant of diversity due to broader access to education.
People today strongly reject prejudiced social beliefs from a hundred years ago because society is changing, people have more opportunities to realize the freedoms they have. People have a better understanding of what is right and wrong. There is more scial media, so people can see how other people are treated compared to themselves. No one is secluded and self centered like they use to be with minimal communication. Technology has advanced significantly, rules and policies have changed in many differnt aspects of life.
The world is changing drastically every year and not only is a hundred years ago well behind today's time, but even the 60s are well behind today's time. Most people strongly reject the old prejudiced social beliefs because they're archaic and hateful. Huanity needs to push toward a view of all being humans with no group being superior to
I believe that society has evolved for several reasons. We live in a much more global society than we did 100 years ago. People can now see the injustices and are vocal about them, while 100 years ago the injustice can go on with small groups of people. There has also been a growth in humans that do lean more towards equality. Of course, there are exceptions but all in all I see that we have moved forward. We are also able to witness a variety of culture that chich wa
Society as a whole has evolved in many ways, including social norms and acceptable behavior acorss race, gender, ethnicity, religion and many other factors.
They are tired of being labeled racists so they are actively trying to get away from those social beliefs. They have also come to terms that we are all equal on some level and that everyone who has the capability to succeed can and should be allowed everyopportunity to do so.
People these days have a more understanding of being tolerable and accepting of other people's culture and tradition due to social interaction and exposure. With the invention of the internet, people can interact with one another a lot more better. Peoplecan also talk to others without a systematic law that prevents them to do so. There is also just a more progression when it comes to cultures cooperating.
Because of the media and information that we have at our fingertips. The more informaton we recieve the bettere we are at making decision.
People strongly rejected prejudiced social beliefs because we have emerged as a people. Social statuses are much different today as they were a hundred years ago and people have also gotten smarter.
The world is changing. People today understand that social beliefs need to change with the world.
Most people today recognize how archaic the ideas of the past were. With advances in science, we recognize how alike humans are and perceived differences are extremely minor-- knowing that we are more alike others than previously though, we have come to callenge our past prejudices, finally recognizing that they have no basis.
Most people today reject old fashioned social beliefs, because in the time since those beliefs came to be, we have learned many new things and become enlightened about many of the ways in which the world works. People have become more tolerant and acceptng of one another in this day and age, and that has partly been due to the events that have transpired over the last 100 years. For example, the civil rights movement was finally the impetus that gave way to de-segregation in our country. While there ar still hints of racism out there, it has improved dramatically in the days since the 1950s. I imagine that 100 years from today, we will appear to be cavemen, relatively speaking, although we are light years ahead of where our forefather were 100
Society has for the history of humanity been a fluid, living antity. Like most organisms capable of growth, as time goes by, there are mutations. Positive mutations are beneficial and help the organism grow more and thrive better. The social attitudes tha were toxic and stilted were hindering growth. a shift twards new, more open attitudes allowed a more free flowing growth to occur. This was good for the organism and so was redily adopted by those hungry for social change. Morals of goodness, kindness, ad togetherness have also been long standing ideals that were stunted by backwards thinking. So opening the door to a
They reject prejudiced beliefs because people have advanced socially and now clearly see that prejudiced social beliefs were wrong. There is also more scientific evidence showing that we are really all the same. Also, there are many people living today tht feel the pain that those beliefs caused 100 years ago and they don't want future generations to feel that pain.
Because we now know more from studies. We also care so much about feelings that we are scared to even ponder some past social beliefs because we fear it would end up hurting someone's feelings. We also do not like to talk in generalities as much and beause we'd like to believe that there's diversity in everything and we cannot pigeonhole everyone into that prejudiced belief.
As globalization brings us closer, the need to see each other as equals grows. Everyone is given a voice now due to social media and 24 hour cable news, so even small stories can become global stories if they're the right story. Also, cuz we got a black pesident y'all. Everyone is equal and racism is conquered forver. Women, LGTBQ, minorities, immigrants, they're all equal now. Just kidding. I think prejudiced social beliefs are still alive and well.
Times have changed and people are more receptive to different thinking in modern day life. Life 100 years ago was different than it is now.
It is morally wrong to hold onto such ignorant beliefs. There was a time when those beliefs seemed correct but that was because we didn't know better. During this day and age after all the science, we should know that a human is human regardless of what te outside looks like.
I think people know that from experience different prejudiced social beliefs turns out to be false. I believe that people look at other from a different perspective than in the past. I think people are a
Because they are outdated and prejudiced beliefs.
Because times have progressed. We as humans have evolved into more civilized creatures and feel that prejudiced does not unit us a people but set us back to a dark time.
Majority of people now days are too busy texting, talking or on the internet on their phones.
I think people strongly reject prejudiced social beliefs today because we as a country have evolved. We have learned more about each other and we have begun to realize we are all very much alike. I also think it may be a sort of enlightened mentality. It hows your peers that you are above the ridicule. I think the whole self evolution mentality is a form of prestige in today's society. People want to best the other and I think a perceived acceptable way to do that now is to show that
I think that people have become more progressive in thought. As the nation has become more multi-cultural, these ideals from a hundred years ago have become watered down and unimportant to most people. I don't think people see as much of a dividing lin between cultures as they did a hundred years ago.
In my opinion more people today depend on facts rather that prejudged beliefs or opinions more than they did a hundred years ago. They didn't really have the tools or the knowledge like society does today but that's just my opinion. I make prejudiced belifs all the time and im usually right.
I think that people today are less insulated. A hundred years ago, people lived in a more isolated society, and chances are that most people in their community were like them - of the same race, and such. It is easier to be prejudiced against someone you o not know. Today, people live in communities that are more mixed, and they get to know people from different races and cultural backgrounds. As they get to know these people, they find commonalities, and then they become less prejudiced.
I would hazard a guess that it would be simply because the actual realization of wrongdoing via social prejudices have now simply become social norms without any deeply held beliefs on the part of many younger people.
We have rejected these believes because the have proven to be false and the are unjust and because they drag society down instead of lifting it up. Also these beliefs kept us from drawing on a huge human resource and a multitude of talent
I believe most people reject prejudiced social beliefs from a hundred years ago because of the laws in terms of slavery having been long gone now versus still pretty newly eradicated back then. Women's Suffrage has also happened since then there is not narly as much of a societal belief that women are less capable than men or less intelligent. they couldn't vote around 100 years ago but around that same time they won the right to vote. As time passes and new generations are born they see those once see less equal as equals now. Now we have a bi-racial president and women in high standing political positions that could have never been thought
I don't think they knew any better, they were ignorant to the really issues at hand. I think that people would l
Many people reject older beliefs because there has been a moving away from the religion and social rules that held sway a hundred years ago. Back then, everyone lived according to the dictates and the dogma of their chosen belief system, and nobody dared tray from such ideas. However, with the increase in science and technology of today, many have come to see religion (and belief systems in general) as outmoded. With that moving away, there has also come with it a moving away from the socially regressive rejudices that many of these systems brought with them.
"We" are more advanced today than we were 100 years ago. However that depends on the beliefs in question. I believe some beliefs will never get old while other will be conqured. While homosexuality for instance is becoming more and more acceptable than it
Because times have changed, so should old beliefs. This was a different country 100 years ago, wars have taken place, law have been enacted and technology has advanced
Because that thinking is wrong. The very idea that people are lesser because they are women or that the color of their skin is wrong is so completely absurd, that only people who never connected with these people could think that. In the global and verysmall world we live in, due to social media, we can relate every day with people of different colors, races, religions, etc. We now know that these ideas were wrong.
Because times change and so do views. One hundred years ago wasn't that long after slavery and women were not allowed to vote. As roles change, so do views. Women make up nearly half of the work force today and their past role as wifes and mothers areno longer their predominant function. We have a black president, which is something no one would have dreamed was possible 100 years ago. There is no longer segregation in schools. Great strides have been made to guarantee equality in the o
I believe they reject those types of beliefs because they want the world to get along. There are many races that have interacted with each other and get along very well. If we were to go back to the way the old times were, everything that certain people dd was for nothing. They were arrested, injured, or even died for no reason at all. It's also good to get along with all types of people no matter what race or beliefs they may have.
I AM NOT SO SURE THAT PEOPLE STRONGLY DO REJECT PREJUDICED SOCIAL BELIEFS FROM A HUNDRED YEARS AGO.. JUST THE OTHER DAY THERE WAS A YOUNG TEENAGE AFRICAN AMERICAN KID SHOT TO DEATH BY A WHITE COP HERE IN MY OWN HOME STATE. IN FACT, ITS NOT EVEN THAT FAR DWN THE ROAD FROM WHERE I LIVE.. I AM NOT SURE WHY PEOPLE
We now think that people are more equal. We don't think that black people are bad or that people who come from poor places or other countries are less than we are. We aren't snobs any more. And those other people can do some things better than we can -like baseball or other sports. But they are smart, too. I like to meet and be friends with all kinds of other people. I like to learn from them
Many people strongly reject prejudiced social beliefs from a hundred years ago because people like to think they have changed from the past. In reality nothing has changed, and prejudiced social beliefs still are very prevalent in today's society. Ideas tat were considered cruel or perhaps immoral are still being used, but maybe not as forthcoming. There are many underlying beliefs that may not surface, but are practiced behind closed doors.
The average person today is brought up to believe that everyone should be treated the same. This is generally the attitude learned at home and, in recent decades, reflected in the media. Children go to school, the playground, the movies, etc. with all sors of children of other races and cultural backgrounds, and this experience teaches that others are no different. In the past society was heavily segregated and
People today reject prejudiced social beliefs from 100 years ago because the overall dynamics of the nation has changed. For instance, over 100 years ago more than 50% of Americans had blond hair and blue eyes. Most people did not travel far from their lace of birth, so they were not really exposed to other cultures. Rapid changes in technology in travel and industry allowed people to move from the farm to the city to work. Im
Just like everything else in the world, time changes everything. Social beliefs evolve just like everything else. we Are A Society that general relies on social media in our day to day lives. something had to evolve.
Foremost people grew up in much different situation and thus formed opinions and beliefs related to what they experienced. I think since people see how things are done differently today it is much easier to see the inherent injustice involved in prejudics. They have no preconceived notions about prejudice being normal

Asked Participant about the delay task; Correct Answer: Zebra or Donkey
early ancestors walked on spread out toes. the equids diets changed from foliage to grasses.
I believe one of the differences was that they had spread out toes vs. hooved feet, which was the result of walking on soft ground.
I don't know, because I don't care. Why would I retain information about something I don't care about?
I do not remember the name of a precursor to the modern horse.
I forgot the name but it started with a C or P
I honestly don't remember. All the baseball talk has cleared out that passage.
I can't remember them after doing the baseball questions and reviewing the equality response.
with all due respect, I can't name one of them. I consider myself to be intelligent but that passage was very difficult to read
I do not recall. Too much think about baseball
one started with a P, that's all i remember
rhino and ? it was something i was unfamiliar with
rhinosaurus or... donkey. I remember both being mentioned. Also, they evolved to be on dry land and eat grass!
I do not believe in evolution. I believe in God.
The distance between the toes were greater apart allowing higher speed

If yes, please indicate in the space below what you believe you noticed.
The baseball information was oddly specific and even long time fans would probably find some of the questions difficult. I know I did. I was also under the impression I would be tested on my favorite team.
I'm not sure what major baseball had to do with the other parts of the survey
The way this is written I may not have noticed what I should, but I do have a feeling it wasn't really about baseball. I enjoyed the survey nonetheless.
San Francisco Giants stats were messed up
I didn't notice anything suspicious in the tasks or information.
I just had to do a survey that had very similar attention breaking tasks and asking me to remember what I voted for was very suspicious also.
Very confusing descriptions in this. The horse document was very hard to follow and the attention check was confusing
Claims that the two tasks were unrelated was obviously false. The researchers are trying to determine if thinking about one's passion, such as baseball, affects one's ability to complete mental exercise, such as logical conundrums or remembering facts.
The Giants only had 7 wins, despite a 28-28 record at home
The baseball questions were difficult. The reading task took a minute to read, and then lasted more than 3 minutes. More like 5.
Didn't notice anything. Was I supposed to?
I am not sure if this study was a MLB based study or if it had a deeper personality based purpose.
How there were questions and readings designed to throw us off.
Why the variety of subjects? Was this whole thing really about baseball?
It was way too long! I thought it would never end!
In the test of baseball knowledge, some of the choices were not active players
Some were switched so you had to watch what you were choosing...
Having to write an answer to a question about social issues in the middle of a baseball survey was pretty weird.
I'm not so sure that the real task involved baseball at all, but I can't quite put my finger on what else it could be.
More time spent on the "secondary tasks" than on baseball. Seems like this test is more about my confidence in my own assessment of things, than it is about the things themselves.
Everything up to the final series of questions, description of actions, felt like it was not the focus of the study.
What did baseball have to do with any of this?
I don't think I *noticed* anything, but I was suspicious of the tasks in between the baseball predictions. It didn't seem like it belonged to the same survey.
The "mind clearing tasks" seemed relevant to the study
i tried my best to answer the questions that had to do with memory, even if i am a bit off just know that i did try to answer honestly and to the best of my ability
There were some statistics that didn't look right. I believe the Brewers are at the top of the standings in both leagues but there was one where both teams had statistics at least as high or higher than Milwaukee's.
It would seem that the task isn't so much about baseball as perhaps evaluating likes and dislikes.
I assume the purpose of the task was not obvious. For example, it may want to correlate memory ability with a personality trait.
The horse evolution story and the baseball myth
It was strange that this survey was about baseball but yet I had lto described what the world seems of prejudging people.
I don't think this survey has anything to do with baseball.
the passage that we read was very boring and I'm not sure its true
I'm suspicious about the amount of money for this incredibly long survey. I don't feel it was a very good value for my time.
I think the baseball questions were in fact a way to get you to think about something else instead of the other way around.
I don't believe the study was just about baseball.
This question made me suspicious. I now feel like I've missed something about the purpose of the study and that is was obviously not about baseball.
Subject was all over the place from baseball to horses
I don't understand why a horse was being asked when this was a baseball survey.
I suspect that the baseball focus is just a ruse to distract me from some other purpose, which is more inherent in the rest of the questions.
the study said it was about baseball, but then it had that last page of questions that were not related to baseball at all
What does the follow up quesitons have to do with baseball?
Way too many subjects and different kinds of things.
All those trivia questions about baseball that I did not know and never heard of before. Also the 50 million years ago story of the horses,. How does one know anything from 50 million years ago? That was a tricky one there too!
A lot of these tasks were not related. Baseball and the last questions are totally unrelated.
I think the "mind clearing" tasks were designed to influence the study-taker, not clear his/her mind
No, but this study took FOR EVER to finish.
There was a lot of emphasis on things other than baseball.
Those baseball questions were RIDICULOUS. You don't have to be a sabremetrics person to have an interest in baseball and a team's story.
The questions that were asked were not related to baseball.
Why the "mind clearing" questions after the questions about the baseball teams.
I'm not up on all the metrics used in baseball stats, so some of them might have been made up.
I don't believe you were looking for information about baseball.
Some of the details were awfully deeply rooted and tricky.
I dunno, I almost think it wasn't about baseball at all now.
The horse reading and thinking back to human prejudices of a hundred years ago
Not in a bad way.. But I imagine there is more going on than just picking baseball games.
Very few baseball questions, much more time spent on other topics.
I think the study is about seeing how peoples knowledge changes over time when introduced to different topics
I think some of the questions toward the end were testing to see if the participants really were knowledgeable in baseball or if they were simply completing the task for the payment.
None that I can think of, other than the problems being completely unrelated to the baseball theme.
I'm trying to figure out the connection between baseball knowledge and preference and basically every other section of the study.
Don't know what the middle part or the end part had to do with baseball.
I think baseball was the actual distraction, not the 3 minute distractions.

If yes, please indicate in the space below what you believe you noticed.
The horse reading was very odd for this study
The bubbles at the end, relating tasks and events to actions
seemed very random and not related to baseball
The horse article and the prejudice article.
The two tasks in the middle were a little out of place, but not too strange.
Given that it was about baseball, it was odd that there was a question about 100 year old social prejudice AND about the evolution of the horse.
The major baseball questions - which this survey was suppose to be about
The passage on horse evolution, on social attitudes, and the "which description" part, all are strange to see in a baseball survey.
The writing exercise and the horse article. Possibly the baseball if you look at it from another angle.
There was nothing in the study that did NOT make sense.
Your description of the San Fransico Giants is wrong: "San Francisco Giants (7-48, 28-28 home; Hudson, 8-7, 2.65 ERA)" I'm not sure what their record is exactly, but I'm guessing their record is 57-48, not 7-48 since that's impossible.
The whole horse article thing seemed out of place.
Baseball and something about ancient horses.
the questions about my preferred descriptions seemed out of place
The conundrums and MLB study seemed totally opposite
The middle projects outside of the aspect of the baseball theme
I thought Albert Pujols was the correct spelling and A-Rod is suspended.
The last part of the test seemed out of place.
For a test being about the MLB, there were lots of questions that had nothing to do with baseball.
None of it seemed to mesh. It seemed like three or four topics jammed into one session.
The random interspersion of questions throughout the quiz
The horse passage didn't really go along with the baseball thing.
The mind clearing activities were very unexpected, as was answering the question that pertained to the evolution of the horse. There was no way I could possibly remember the names of the species. Also, in the last set of multiple choice questions, therewas nothing pertaining to baseball.
The horse story, the essay, and the A/B questions at the end were not related to MLB.
The question about racism did not belong.
half was about baseball, half was about personal preferences
the two questions in the middle that took 3 mins each
why ask the question about the social structure and to remember something about horses what does it have to do with baseball - and why is it important to have people who know baseball - none of this made sense
the question about the prejudiced beliefs and intrinsic behaviors was totally out of left field. I sat there and stared for a long time just trying to comprehend the passage. It was truly hard to understand.
The whole horse passage was pretty random.
the two tasks between the baseball questions
Both the answer-writing task and the passage about horses felt very out of place.
The "mind-clearing" exercises seemed a bit much, especially the first question.
Yes, it seemed to have a lot of random questions. The end with the perceptions of tasks of tasks did not fit at all.
The horse survey was odd. However, I'm sure it was in there for a good reason.
It was not just about baseball and had much confusion in the survey
The question regarding prejudices and the history of the horse.
the tasks in between had nothing to do with baseball
"The Evolution of the Horse" is an odd entry in a list of items focused on modern life.
Anything with Baseball seemed to just try to get our attention.
As I said before, the tasks in between the baseball predictions seemed out of place.
the questions at the end had nothing to do with anything.
The paragraph about horse evolution did not make sense at all.
Yes the article about the horses and the writing paragraph.
The last section of questions seemed odd.
The final task of selecting which description you preferred.
I could swear there was a part where I was supposed to remember comparing a set of teams that I did not compare
Im not sure what our writing had to do with the story about horses along with our knowledge of baseball and our predictions.
There were more questions about preferences in terminology than about baseball.
I assume the real purpose of a survey must be hidden. Therefore including anything is fair game.
Same as before about writting out my response
Now that I look back it is suspicious to have the descriptions portion.
For a series of games you asked prediction/preference/how much care. Then it was tested a second time. My guess is that the hypothesis was that for the games which the individual was more invested in, the recall of predicted/preferred would be better. The one game I most likely missed the second time was Milwaukee and somebody else. And I didn't care about it much. The rest was distraction. I don't know. I have stopped trying to figure out what you shrinks are up to. But it's interesting.
I think some of the more random baseball questions were hard to know...even as a big baseball fan. Most of them I knew though.
yes, reading about horses and talking about sociological conundrums.
The two tasks in the middle and the end had nothing to do with baseball
The horse thing, and the word association
The questions about how you feel activities are described
the story about the evolution of a horse
The questions that were not about baseball.
The questions about how I view tasks seemed out of place.
Nothing seemed to belong. It jumped all over the place between horses, baseball, and psychology questions.
The random paragraph and reading about horses...
I'd like to see how the mind clearing activities affect baseball predictions
The racial prejudice question seemed odd to throw in as a mind clearing task.
The passage about the evolution or horses seemed out of place.
The survey subject did not flow consistently. It moved from Horses to baseball
The horse evolution, I thought this was mainly about baseball, which is why I took it
I didn't get what the writing and reading tasks had to do with baseball.
The final section seemed oddly out of place, particularly if the test is primarily about baseball.
Either baseball didn't belong, or everything else didn't.
The whole thing was a bunch of information overload. I mean, I was hoping to be just working on the MLb, but then I did other test not involving baseball at all. I know your test means well, and it was designed to be like this. It just caught me offguard.
It seemed like it went all over the place with tasks
The horse and prejudice segments had little to do with the baseball survey.
I thought it was a baseball study, then there was a horse reading to do. weird....
The study varied widely. Each section on it's own was very different from the others.
yes, the last page of questions not related to baseball
random question and article in the middle... WTH!
I'm sure there is reasoning behind it, but going from baseball to the history of the horse seems weird.
What did the horse article have to do with baseball?
The horse story and the baseball questions were too complicated for me..
The tasks seem very unrelated but I'm thinking there is a reason behind that, maybe to keep us on our toes.
The "mind clearing" tasks were explained, but the preferences questions after the baseball survey do not seem to belong.
The last section about personal preferences did not seem to relate to major league baseball.
Yes, as said before, baseball and the questions at the end were not related.
the study on the horse was very difficult to recall when asked the question at the end about it.
The Reading about the horses I feel was out of place
All of the questions not concerning baseball.
The last exercise seemed to not fit with the original intent of the study...baseball then evaluating tasks?
The critical thinking questions and that separation between readings and questions
I don't understand what the evolution of the horse had to do with Baseball.
What picking teams to win had to do with the specific baseball questions.
Maybe just the last section, which I've seen on numerous studies. Everything else was quite original.
the baseball portion seems very unrelated to the rest of the study
Baseball.....history questions.....horse history??? Was this a memory test?
the reading comprehension and the conundrum
Seemed to be 3 unrelated parts or baseball, reading and personality testing.
Seems like the last few tasks were copied from other studies.
The horse history lesson seemed a little weird.
The baseball stuff seemed to be a carrot to get people to answer the other questions
Well... very random study, from basebell to a doorbell question. :-)
The so called "mind cleaning" questions came up again.
how im supposed to remember in 3 minutes
The whole horse/rhinoceros writeup and test was a bit weird for a baseball study.
Both the reading of the horse and the human prejudices of a hundred years ago.
It was a study about Baseball which also included a long list of my preferences. Why does that make any difference in Baseball?
The essay and information about horses did seem out of place.
Well, the break from the baseball pair ups seemed out of place, although I completely understand that it was being used as a way to clear your mind.
Baseball, horses, and seemingly unrelated questions.
Asking me the baseball questions and the diversion of the other 2 activities, was somewhat questionable.
You asked us to rate ourselves against other people.
I understand the thought behind throwing in a task that had nothing to do with baseball but I still thought it was a little weird and threw off a rhythm.
The whole story about the evolution of a horse, doesn't fit in with MLB at all.
The two studies between the baseball have nothing to do with baseball.
the prejudice questions and the horse story
Anything that wasn't related to baseball.
Not sure how the horse and racism questions relate to baseball.
The last section regarding meanings of actions did not seem to have any obvious correlation with baseball. The middle section ("mind clearing") seemed random but acceptable.
