The prejudices and pre-conceived ideas that regulate your life are not innate. Since birth, your mind undergoes a never ending absorption of information whose aim is to educate it, molding it in agreement with the accepted values of whatever society you live in.This information, that you get from most different but all equally powerful sources such as school, family, religion, social environment, build an actual screen around your brain.Thus, you find yourself fully conditioned, programmed to give precise answers to particular stimuli. If you fear something, your answer - i.e. your reaction - will be the result of the conditioning previously received. Therefore you will behave either cowardly or bravely or aggressively or indifferently and so on. Given a particular stimulus, the possible reactions to it are endless, as almost infinite are the programs that might have been activated in your brain since early childhood. Education, religion, the way others behave, even an image seen or a word heard by chance, have contributed to enrich your mental “computer”.
