Superiority in Carl Jung

      Carl Jung travels Africa and finds out, or notices that he is caged inside a thought of the European community as being superior to others. As he travels one can see this as he often use depictive description of non-European people as he encounters himself with traditions he think are a little savage or not civilized. But Jung make a clear analysis of himself and the situation accepting the fact that he is biased and how this unconscious thought is reflected in conscious choices and behaviors.

            As for this bias I think it is a universal one. Every country thinks it is superior to another jus because that’s who you are and you won’t think otherwise. Also this is a very strong learned behavior kids catch up with in almost every aspect of our lives since we root for our country in competitions, prizes and sports, giving root to a sense of superiority. As of myself I say this because here in Puerto Rico we are a very proud country. If there is a boxing match we even put a 3-year-old baby a Puerto Rico hat and shirt and make a whole party if we win. Boxing is just a more common example, but when the Olympic games are on, the World Baseball Classic, the Basketball World Cup, and this are just few of the things were we start thinking of ourselves as superior. I don’t think rooting for your country is wrong because I do every time I have a chance. It just affects people differently depending of your mentality and even in the humblest and open one, unconsciously that proud feeling contributes to a superiority bias.
