- People can justify inhumane behavior by restructuring their thoughts, minimizing responsibility, or dehumanizing victims, often facilitated by social systems that diffuse responsibility.
- To prevent inhumanities, society needs safeguards within social systems that promote compassionate behavior and oppose cruelty, beyond just individual moral standards.

"Moral justification is a way to get oneself off the hook, morally speaking. As has been so well described by Albert Bandura in his paper "Moral Disengagement in the Perpetration of Inhumanities", it is a ploy used to silence moral qualms." — Vera Bradova, https://t.co/MFNM9RhrsP https://t.co/GNDz9zgwHd
What I did read, because I found it very interesting is Bandura's "Moral disengagement in the perpetration of inhumanities" in which he lists several mechanisms by which humans disavow responsibility when committing inhuman actions. https://t.co/M2FvL94Y9R
@Bluegatito11 @geekfurioso I am NOT justifying genocide. I am just saying they are not mentally ill people and I am basing my opinions in studies made by psychologists on perpetrators of numerous atrocities. I reccomend reading Bandura's studies on moral disengagement. https://t.co/M2FvL94Y9R
@ac_npd 私も偶々手に取った修士論文の引用で知りまして、日本語の書籍があるのか謎なんですよね
"A eufemização é uma arma prejudicial. As pessoas comportam-se de forma muito mais cruel quando as ações agressivas são verbalmente saneadas, do que quando são chamadas de agressão." Albert Bandura, Moral disengagement in the perpetration of inhumanities.
アメリカの心理学者、アルバート・バンドゥーラ博士曰く(1999)、企業の中でも人々は個々の役目に細分化されると、組織全体に対する自分の役割を忘れてしまい、それだけに集中してしまうことから責任の拡散が発生してしまう。↓ https://t.co/KTlNB7rEhi
