Synergy: Cognitive Dissonance Amongst The United States

161 Words1 Page

Synergy is the interaction or cooperation of two or more organizations to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects. To put it simply, if the 13 independent States did not ratified the US Constitution in 1789 through synergy, then we would have a government that was out of control and a Congress that acts in government 's best interest instead of the citizens. Meaning…we would have a slow but steading loss of freedom amongst the 13 independent States. However, at the same time synergy would have cause a cognitive dissonance amongst the 13 States because each independent state has their own mindset of handling ongoing issues like slavery, Native American lands, and the expansion and growth of the western regions.

That, racism, and discrimination based on it thereof, is an undeniable reality, even in today’s society, seen in many facets of the country, whether explicit or disguised under policies and false consciousness. Furthermore, the fact that the discrimination is based on a system of caste and not class, that is, one which someone is born into and cannot change; defeats the purpose of providing opportunity, that each individual is, or at least should be entitled to as citizens, and hence would be construed as a violation of basic rights.

It is the willful tendency for Americans to forgo reality in favor of believing what they want to believe. The author, Doug, uses irony and sarcasm to voice out his opinion about the Bush-Cheney administration, and somehow relates it to the five reasons he gave why we are in the state of “dumbing-down.” According to Doug, the unwillingness to learn of this generation, the tendency of our country to compartmentalize their religious belief from science and philosophy, and the procurement of freedom with the expense of responsibility and the interest in the needs of others

    "Uncomfortable Minnesotans: Embracing Confrontation" Minnesotans notoriously don 't like confrontation. We like to politely ignore offensive opinions, and prefer suffering in silence to speaking up and creating a potentially awkward situation. Especially in my private, Catholic school, where most students ' families have lived in Saint Paul since its founding, this culture of "politeness" is deeply ingrained in the community. This kind of culture has a major drawback: offensive language and discriminatory treatment often goes by unchallenged, and swept away after an awkward pause.

Individuals who are ethnocentric judge other groups in relation to their own ethnic group or culture. I think The United States likes to refer to themselves as the “big mixing pot” of cultures. I would agree, we do have a wide range of different cultures, but that does not mean that we do not “evaluate and judge other cultures based on how they compare to our own cultural norms.” I think us as Americans feel this way, because we are too scared to change what we have learned and known since birth.
