“People comb their hair every day, why not the heart?Did you find this phrase witty? These words were uttered by Ernesto Che Guevara, the famous revolutionary. There are many other che Guevara statements that are still remembered today. Does it have to do with your left-wing ideology? A study from Brock University says yes.
Researchers at Brock University in Ontario, Canada, found that people who were not very intelligent as children had a right-wing ideology, racist and homophobic tendencies, while children with left-wing ideology were more open and understanding.
- The researchers relied on two studies conducted in 1958 and 1970 in the UNITED Kingdom to reach these conclusions.
- In this research.
- The level of intelligence of thousands of children between the age of 10 and 11 who answered political questions when they turned 33.
- Was calculated.
Some of the issues related to their prejudices. If they had problems with neighbors of different races or concerns about coexistence at work.
Other questions to answer related to political ideology: whether they were conservative, what sanctions should be imposed on offenders, or how to show children the need to obey.
The conclusion of Brock University’s research shows that statements by conservative politicians facilitate the emergence of prejudice.
According to these researchers, less intelligent people position themselves in the political sphere as?Because that’s how they feel safer, it’s innate intelligence that determines a person’s level of racism, much more than their educational and social level.
Simply put, conservative ideology is the way to make children with little reasoning capacity racist and prejudiced.
Cognitive skills are the key to having an open mind. This means that people with few cognitive abilities are delighted with conservative ideologies because they feel safer; gives them a sense of “order. “
The conclusion of Brock University’s research says that innate intelligence is the determining factor in choosing a person’s ideology Does this mean that?Is it synonymous with stupidity? No way.
Today ideologies are a little mixed, nothing is what it seems. We can regard the North Korean communist regime as “left-wing. “People have become accustomed to living under the orders of a dictator who calls his ideology progressive, but he is leading the fate of millions of people with an iron hand.
There are many other examples around the world that have tried to establish left-wing regimes without much success.
The people of Russia and Cuba suffered much repression and little access to freedom during the dictatorship, under Stalin and Castro.
Does all this mean that there are covert people in the world, who are actually “right”?Could there be people in progressive ideology who aren’t very intelligent and conservative?There is no clear answer to these questions, because ideologies are becoming less valuable and what motivates the world are purely political and economic interests.
Actually, the important thing is to be open and curious, learn that everyone can teach you something and help you improve your life, even people we think are bad or stupid can show us the way forward.
Anyone who doesn’t have an innate intelligence that leads them to open their minds should stimulate their emotional intelligence. Be sensitive to all kinds of ideologies, ways of being and having a full and happy life. As Che Guevara said, “If you can to have beautiful hair, you can also have a noble and beautiful heart. “
