I just read: "The Implementation of a
Constructivist Approach to the
Resolution of Prejudice"
http://www.oikos.org/kenpred.htm
"Consider the man who has learned to shoot game (learning 1, rifle
shooting) and who
announces he enjoys shooting game (elephant and hippopotamus). He risks
verbal
attack from people who disapprove for ecological reasons. On the first
occasion that
this happens the hunter will realize that s/he is amongst an anti-blood
sports group.
The time spent hunting which is appreciated with hunting groups has
another
meaning for this group. A new context is learned. Learning at this
logical level is not
about behaviour but about the categories of contextual organization of
behaviour (e.g.,
Bateson 1979, p.134). "
