‘Taboo Social Stigmas’ presents a groundbreaking exploration of how social prejudices develop, persist, and can be effectively addressed in modern society. This comprehensive work reveals that prejudices aren’t innate human characteristics but learned responses that begin forming as early as age three, shaped by cultural transmission and social learning.
Through a unique combination of neuroscience, psychology, and sociological research spanning 47 cultures and involving over 50, 000 participants, the book builds a compelling case for understanding and combating social stigmas through evidence-based approaches. The book’s progression from theoretical foundation to practical application makes complex concepts accessible to both professionals and general readers.
Beginning with an examination of the neurological basis of prejudice formation, it moves through the mechanisms of societal reinforcement before culminating in concrete intervention strategies. This structure allows readers to grasp both the scientific underpinnings of social stigmas and the practical tools needed to address them effectively.
What sets this work apart is its interdisciplinary approach, combining cutting-edge neuroscience imaging studies with anthropological surveys and psychological research to present a complete picture of how prejudices operate at both individual and institutional levels. The book offers practical, evidence-based strategies for recognizing implicit biases, developing anti-discrimination policies, and creating inclusive environments, making it an invaluable resource for educators, policy makers, and anyone interested in fostering social change.
