#consequences of the reality-avoidance culture (in the context of the #corona crisis)
The text of Dr. Mohammad Reza Sargolzaei’s interview on the topic of “consequences of unrealistic culture” in the context of the Corona crisis
“Communication Management” monthly
March 1398 and April 1399
Interviewer: Ali Varamini
Ali Varamini: The type of crisis that we are facing today is very different from the crises that modern man has experienced so far. Both in terms of content and in terms of the form of this outbreak, it was not something that humanity was waiting for today. It is natural that everyone is confused in such an unknown situation. This confusion increases when every person has become a media for himself through virtual networks and everyone wants to give an opinion. This situation deepens the crisis, whose strains of psychological trauma are even more than physical, if the elites and more importantly the government do not address the non-physical situation of this crisis.
I have had a conversation about this and more with Dr. Mohammad Reza Sargolzaei, a psychiatrist and writer. Dr. Sargolzaei believes that “this type of crisis (such as Corona), although it can have fewer casualties in the end, which I hope will be the case, or cause less economic damage in the beginning, it causes more psychological cost, and this psychological cost, the costs It will also bring invisible socio-economics.
In your opinion, the behavior of every human being as a human being in crises is the same or it can be different depending on geographical and time coordinates. Because of this, the question arises that we observe that the attitude towards the increase in the price of the equipment that is necessary to deal with the corona virus, or for example the emptying of stores, is almost the same all over the world.
When we talk about an animal and biological species, one of the characteristics of “species” is that it has behavioral stereotypes; For example, in a herd of lions, a male lion is always the leader of the herd, but in an elephant herd, a female elephant becomes the leader. The management methods of social organization are stereotyped in every animal, and the instincts of group behavior of any species are clearly evident as well as individual behavior. Some instincts show themselves in the form of individual behavior; For example, if a person, from any culture, when we inject him with the hormone testosterone, he will show certain characteristics, and if he inhales the hormone oxytocin, he will show other characteristics.
The level of excitement and arousal of every person increases in front of the rhythm of fast music and decreases in front of music with a slow rhythm. Stereotypes can also be raised about the masses. “Gustave Le Bon” wrote a famous book about “psychology of the masses”; And “Sigmund Freud” and “Eric Bern” also have similar books. Recently, a book by “Elias Kaneti” was published in Farsi called “Mass and Power”, which in its first chapter talks about the collective instincts of people in situations of stress, crisis and anger. “Jung” calls these complex cultural instincts “Archetype” or “archetype”, that is, the ancient patterns that exist in a “species”; Part of which appears in individual behavior and is examined in “behavior” studies such as the studies of “Ivan Pavlov” and “John Watson”, and a part that appears in the form of collective behavior and in the fields of “social psychology” and ” bio-sociology” is placed like the studies of “Philip Zimbardo” and “Conrad Lorentz”.
