Why is it that human's are slow to adapt to changes or figure out a better solution for themselves?

Question

For instance, I always wondered why the human race have this common form of mentality where they often hesitate to accept changes or differences. For example: when blacks and irish people were slaves in the past for years, why did it takes years for the execution of Jews to stop. However, the most recent is the on going confortation between the Palestians and the Isrealies for years. Seemly, it seems that many people believe that is it alright to follow crowd; therefore, I always wondered why it has been like this since the beginning of time. However, all of these factors mentioned, does this worry you and how often?

Answer 1

IDEOLOGY, the belief system of a human being. Is both a two edge sword, it can't be to flexiable with in an individuals life so time has changed because knowledge has changed. I bet if you took another look at history and look at in a big picture you'd see how things are speeding up. We work in ages, because ages, represent technology, technolgy represent knowledge, and knowledge is a reflection of ideology which is based on "belieft systems" religion being one of them, so its a BIG player. But look at the ages, frist the metal ages, the age of reason, the ages of exploration, the industral age, and I think now since so many technologies are going at once, its simply the information age. That aside its accelerating, humanity isn't based on one person ability to not get over drugs, are a race of people killing jews, its about a strive for survival despite ourselves, which buddy we are the KINGS!!!! Look around you and see that, we survive to good, we learn to fast, and were going to finally most likly survive ourselves to death, how boss of animal is that!?!? Dinosaurs, ha! Of course if they were here now..... and to do that as a speices you have to be able to adapt and if you can't some one will, not to be offensive but you'll see that, we need to anything respect or power, not doudt it..... maybe then people will realize how much their hurting each other and themselves.... worry me thou? No use to.....
