farzad didehvar Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 When and where enligthment grows in a society? It is certain that some environments changes the type of mentality. Seemingly we have such an evolution: In the first step, concepts are considered as an important entity. In the second step, the ideas cross each other. In the third step, loic, reflexibility in thinking, and respecting each other are considered as important. In the third step, there is an evolution. From, labeling mind toward analytical mind. By having labeling mind, people when face a idea, statement or individual, they try to categories him in their known categories, and in the case that they do not find him in his own categoricity they know him bizarre, irregular and finally unreliable. In analytical mind, every statement of an individual is considered in different types of approach: The statement as itself, independent of the teller and the group he belongs(as it is possible to consider it independently) The meaning of the statement related to the views of the teller and the group he belongs why statement is said and trying to sum up the above all. An analytical mind owner, is able to think as a labeling mind owner in the same time, but as an ideal case the first is the prevailing, although we are not in idel case all the time. Now the hypothesis is: 'Enligthment grows in a society when, we pass the first and the second steps and the analytical mind owner develops more and they are going to occupy the central part of decision making in a society.' Usually, the societies under the threat or the societies that had such a reputation have a high tendency to the labeling minds more than the Analytical ones.(Threat cultural or the entity of that society). Even in a progressed country in this respect, posing the threats could lead a society to this side.(ex.Mccarthy era). The wrong with the society that is somehow "labeling mind society" is to underestimating analytical ways in feeling, understanding, purposing and solving a problem besides underestimating the analytical minds owners. So many times a society by these features, by putting aside analytical mind owners (specially, when the subject of discussion is a taboo or semi taboo) of that society, makes himself blind.(ms disease of a society). So, in these cases, the society could make some restericted environments to save his inteligence. The historical examples show the structure of power has a large impact in this regard... .
