Question

What is the Fundamental Attribution Error and what are the steps that will inevitably lead to genocide. What is the cure of this thinking error and why is it so difficult to use, in real life?

Answer 1

Fundamental attribution error is the biasness to blame a person fully responsible in terms of any problematic circumstances and not considering the overall situation or external factors present.In other words, pointing out the attributes of a person to be responsible for an issue and neglecting the situational factors.This is accompanied by selective exposure and perceptual salience ( individuals focussing on emotionally striking standards).During the mass engagement of groups in fundamental attributional error , pervasiveness regarding any stereotype is spread rapidly.Such persistent spread cause inevitable extermination or genocides.This error may be corrected by modifying the thinking patterns of people and broadening their attentional scopes.

Good Luck!
