She answers: Man, short you the tip so that it can enter into the oven! My oven is so small another story on the same line: it is said that a team of experimenters scientists placed at five monkeys in a cage inside. Inside placed a ladder on it, a bunch of bananas. Every time that one of the monkeys climbing the stairs in order to reach the bananas, the researchers threw a jet of cold water over the rest of monkeys. After to monkeys, condition if one tried to climb, others are prevented to beating. Finally, none dared to climb despite the temptation posed for them bananas. At that time, scientists replaced one of the monkeys, and the new first thing he did was climb the ladder to pick up bananas, but others, fearful of running cold water, was taken down quickly and gave him his deserved, and obviously the newest member of the group never returned to climb that ladder. They replaced another monkey and same thing happened. Curiously, the first substitute, which had not received cold water jets, participated enthusiastically in the beating to the newbie.

Subsequently they changed a third party and repeated the fact. Later the fourth, and finally, the last of the Veterans he was replaced. Researchers were then left with a group of five monkeys. None of them had received the cold water bath, but continued striking without mercy, to anyone who was trying to reach the banana. If it were possible to ask any of them to hit to who tried to climb the ladder, probably the answer would be the same as that of the wife who cut the ham bone to put it in the oven: do not know, here things have always done so.

Having prejudices is socially frowned upon, in fact if we ask people if they act from prejudice, a great majority we answer that in any way, and is that, in our society it is politically incorrect, and the majority of people agrees that be based the action in a prejudice, is not the best way to act. The problem is that many prejudices are learned in childhood, have spent years living with us, are deeply rooted in the society, in our lives, and are part of our automatic mental processes. We do not question them. Not a few are attitudes that are floating incuestionadas in the environment, either by force of habit or the aggressiveness of which dominates the situation, and that the vast majority of people assume without too much reflection. And is that, as said Albert Einstein, is easier to disintegrate an atom than a prejudice.
