Why there is a human tendency to come to conclusion very fast? Why should we conclude about something about which we know very less? I keep discussing with my friends and acquaintances about some social issues and concerns. Most of them have concluded on the scene even without even knowing it!! For example, on something like global warming, people wouldn't have probably seen "An inconvenient truth" or "Story of stuff" but they have read "State of fear" and they have concluded that global warming is a media hype!!
Similarly, a few months back, while discussing on inclusion of kids in reality shows, I was stating my point with multiple references. Nobody else in the group was neither willing to accept my point nor give counter-references. Forget about a reference, none of them stated something that has come out of his/her own observations over a time period and nobody shown an interest in reading/studying about the problem further, then why just be in a hurry to conclude?
A similar example of coming to conclusion that an entire caste/religion is bad. How can one hate an entire cast/religion? I like what P G Woodhouse said - when asked about does he hate Germans - "I do not hate in plurals".
I guess having an egoist attitude towards knowledge and lack of learning attitude causes this conclusion problem.
