The clannish
Now, the clannism is sufferin
others
Being curious of others is part of human nature. This predisposition is also present in most mammals. Our interest in other cultures, so probably derived from this natural tendency.
Attraction and fear of foreigners
If others sharpens our curiosity, it is also an enigma. This unknown towards which we are going to meet, may be benevolent but malicious. This is why the interest abroad, is often accompanied by a fear *. A natural fear preventing us from reaching out to others in a simple and spontaneous.
* And it is also an engine of racism.
Culture to conquer nature
This natural apprehension exists naturally in the animal kingdom. Therefore we accept our primate origins. Often, when a monkey alien wishes to incorporate a new group, he is greeted by an aggressive phase. Man, through culture, acquired the ability to control this reaction. Every human being knows gestures of courtesy and respect for avoiding the showdown at first contact.
As an open book
We now know to avoid the ordeal of systematic strength. Instinctive fear of what is foreign is not so far gone. To complete deciphering of the human soul, others still represent a potential hazard. Until we read in the other like an open book, the initial contacts represent some anxiety. The humanities are still in their infancy. But one day, their evolution will allow our species to illuminate the interior. To solve all of his psychological problems. The man then became a lamb to man.
