Why is it that people have such a hate for countries they've never been to or have only seen a small part of?

Question

I see people on here all the time talking bad about other countries. Mainly the U.S. They either take what the government does or says and assume that every single person of that country acts that way. Or they just completely use every single bad or annoying thing they know or think about the country and use that as a general stereotype of how everyone in that country acts. So, why do people have such hate for these countries and believe everything they hear about how the people are, etc?

Note: I'm not only talking about the U.S.A. here, i'm talking about every country.

Answer 1

It's so simple. It's called media influence. You watch TV all the time, right? Pay attention on the headlines or "braking news" and what are they saying of some country.
Majority now hates Iran/Iraq cause of the war, and I bet no one has been there or no one knows anything about that country.
Also, many ppl hate Balkan countries (ex Yugoslavia) and I know for sure they don't even know where that is.

I don't hate any specific country, just some individuals but my anger isn't based on their religion or from what country they are from, rather things they do/say, the way they act etc....

Answer 2

I agree with the media being the problem, along with the socialist movement. They talk about how intolerant Christians are, but look how they Hate anyone that doesn't agree with them. They spread lies and then hide behind "Freedom of the Press" When they are held up to light of truth they accuse some one else of being the liar. For instance, They accuse USA of Imperialistic aggression, yet every country that the US has ever defeated in war, was returned to the people of that country. Sometimes we have done that more than once. (Germany, France!) and they still hate us. I don't believe that the Media, and the socialist movement, is any different anywhere else in the world than it is here. If the news media hadn't lied about Vietnam Millions of Cambodians and Vietnamese would still be alive today, and that war would have ended years earlier, with Vietnam being a free country. Same thing with Iraq, That war goes on because the Terrorists are being aided and abetted by the World Press. The left wants to blame President Bush, and America, but most of the blood is on their hands, Iraq would be free today if they told the truth about anything.

i think of that they experience that united states of america of america is interferring with different international locations and their politics. In some techniques they could be suited. united states of america of america is a efficient united states and we've the technologies, the money (properly, no longer any further!), the international kinfolk, and coaching to achiveve good issues. suited now, issues are starting to be to be out of hand. i've got self assurance that united states of america of america's involvement in Iraq has positioned different international locations in possibility-those closer to the midsection East. it is genuine that we could desire to continually be on look after for terrorism in our united states, yet we additionally could desire to look out for different international locations. it is a capture-22 difficulty. Our troops are over-worked and exausted. the components that have been squandered are actually not unquestionably making it to the militia troops that want it the main. a lot of them are staying a techniques too long remote places and are sleep-deprived. i comprehend many adult adult males interior the militaray (and a few women), and that all of them concur with what you suggested, that they do in comparison to us. it is the interference that they do in comparison to because of the fact they each and every so often get caught interior the fallout. Bush has made some unwise judgements and now our united states is over one thousand billion earnings debt-the worst in background. while Clinton became in place of work we've been debt-unfastened for the 1st time in background. those circumstances are unlucky and with any luck we are able to be waiting to get well and grow to be more suitable as a rustic earlier too many holes start to strengthen...form of like Alzheimer's/dememtia! as quickly as the holes start to widen, the mind is lost and could by no ability be recovered, that's what has occurred in a lot of of the midsection jap international locations. i'm hoping that I replied your question, besides the undeniable fact that it displays my own opinion. Have a dazzling day and attempt to no longer permit this get you down. there is basically a lot that one person can do. at the same time as a planet shall we gain good issues...does no longer that be the day? What a pretty concept...

Answer 6

The ones of whom you speak had parents, who passed along to their offspring the gene of ignorance.

The direction of any particular society can be directly linked to the efforts of the parents of the children who would later become the citizenry.

I almost forgot; the individual's lack of motivation to become more intelligent. People prefer ignorance. It is easier.
