Thinking the unthinkable: sacred values and taboo cognitions
Many people insist that their commitments to certain values (e.g. love, honor, justice) are absolute and inviolable – in effect, sacred. They treat the mere thought of trading off sacred values against secular ones (such as money) as transparently outrageous – in effect, taboo. Economists insist, however, that in a world of scarce resources, taboo trade-offs are unavoidable. Research shows that, although people do respond with moral outrage to taboo trade-offs, they often acquiesce when secular violations of sacred values are rhetorically reframed as routine or tragic trade-offs. The results reveal the peculiar character of moral boundaries on what is thinkable, alternately punitively rigid and forgivingly flexible. Philip E. Tetlock (2003).

Пропаганда как формирование "святых" табу:

Владимир Милов ([livejournal.com profile] v_milov) – мразь и подонок.

«Ну не нравится, вам Саакашвили, нужно переступить через себя, и говорить с ним», - заявляет этот мерзавец. Этот скот призывает разговаривать, вести переговоры с фашистом, убивавшим граждан России, наших военных, осетин.


Записки Спецпропагандона, [livejournal.com profile] leteha.

Представление Саакашвили в виде фашистского подонка и/или сумасшедшего делает психологическим невозможными ( табу ) переговоры об урегулировании конфликта как до, так и после войны.
