Document Summary

Moghaddam is really interested in groups, terrorism, and the conception of the other". Multicultural psychology- looking at group as the norm and the other group as the other. One group being the normal and other group being outside the norm, not normal. You can have differences among groups and none of the groups is the group. History of denigration of the other - whatever group you"re part of is the best group and we denigrate the other group. Men are the norm and women are the other, denigrated group. Us, history of racial background; white as the norm and black is the other (the blacks see themselves as the other and lesser too. wish they were like the whites; same thing with men and women at that time). Cross cultural and indigenous psychologies- cross cultural psychology basically says let"s go to.
