Battling Stereotyping using Binaural Technology

By Clayton Twiss


You will find there's a fact of life called stereotyping. Regardless of whether you recognize it or otherwise, everyone does this at some level, including yourself.

At some level, stereotyping is our mind's instinctive way of simplifying and recalling information easier. Think about this famous puzzle: a man admits his son in an emergency room and tells the physician to do everything in order to save him. Upon seeing the patient, the physician was aghast saying "He's my son!?" How can this happen? Many people get tongue tied at this obvious question since many doctors are stereotyped as males just like teachers are stereotyped as females. Hence, they neglect to notice that the doctor is really a female who's the mother of the patient.

In most cases, stereotyping migh result to prejudice and discrimination, treating others unfairly because of this generalization. Among other things, binaural technology is one method to lessen or even modify stereotype behaviours. It is because stereotyping is a matter of certain beliefs within the mind and binaural technology is focused on tapping the powers in the mind.

The main difficulty with stereotyping is a lot more often than not, you're not consciously aware once you do it. This includes those that claim that they are particularly wary about it. Why? Because, once you stereotype, you frequently engage your subconscious as opposed to your conscious mind. Even in media which insist they're unbiased and should be, there are usually seen mild varieties of stereotyping.

Which is why while using power of binaural technology to enter even your subconscious, it likewise has the power to improve the kind of thinking that results in stereotyping and hence, avoid possible conflicts that can result from stereotyping.

Once you know you're being stereotyped negatively by society, there is already a tendency to be hostile against the other party and therefore, act in ways which can be self-fulfilling. Hence, by engaging the mind's beliefs, binaural technology could be effective for both the one doing the stereotyping as well as the one being stereotyped.

Binaural beats can complement therapy sessions where the psychologist would act as an agent of the correct beliefs to be changed and also the technology can be used to actually implant such changes.

Indeed, the ability to affect stereotyping is one of the many important positive ways binaural technology can modify lives.
