The Semmelweis reflex or "Semmelweis effect" is a metaphor for the reflex-like tendency to reject new evidence or new knowledge because it contradicts established norms, beliefs or paradigms. This interaction kick-started after the Other read http://pawaehr.blogspot.com/2014/07/10-teachings-from-conversations-with.html What I would actually, is that we have this tendency to ask for evidence for everything. Every belief our ours is said to have to be necessarily consolidated by proofs, consolidated truths etc. Mostly- perhaps it is because we are living in a scientific era or perhaps it's because our civilization is used to follow religion as per ancient old scriptures. What I know though of everything is that no belief needs a proof. It does not. A belief simply is! It just is. It merely exists!

And often I noticed they are given explanations that comfort them, which is assumed to be the ‘right’ explanation. If I tell t...
An acquaintance sent me this link a day ago when I was on the verge of abandoning certain things in the cyber space, but keeping that aside here's the video: : http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-27891488 " Dress code debate over schoolgirls 'distracting' boys 18 June 2014 Last updated at 02:56 BST Most students in the US do not have to wear school uniforms, but that doesn't mean there isn't a battle over what clothes are deemed appropriate to wear in the classroom Dress codes in most schools prohibit revealing outfits for girls such as short skirts or backless tops. But some girls complain that the rules are enforced - and the girls then punished - because administrators think their clothes are 'distracting' to boys." And from watching that video, there's one sentence in particular uttered by one of those fine damsel that struck be beyond measure. Unless you are already trying to make up your mind thinking that ...
