Her Father Shot Her in the Head, as an ‘Honor Killing’

[Marrah_G]

78. I think some cultures have a very different set of emotions

and emotional connections. There was the Waorani tribe in south america where murder was a normal part of life, just a regular form of conflict resolution pre-western contact. They obviously had developed a very different set of socials norms and human emotions.

Maybe in things like honor killings the families that live by those rules subconsciously (or consciously) keep an emotional distance from each other knowing that someday they might "be required" to kill that family member in the future.

Maybe love develops differently in cultures, just as violence does.

Some places when a family member is murdered the family of the victim expects payment instead of justice and that is "just how they do it". Is that learned or has it actually made a different development in the brain within groups?

Anyway, just rambling my thoughts a bit to quell tonight's insomnia.
