Chapter 58 Blue and brown eyes

A teacher in the third grade of elementary school used a special experiment to make the hearts of the students in the class fluctuate. In Iowa, USA, there is a third-grade female teacher Elliott who conducted an interesting experiment on the students in her class. The students in Ai Lite's class are all white. One day, she has blue eyes and said seriously to her classmates: People with brown eyes are smarter and better than those with blue eyes.Although most of the students in the class have blue eyes, but because they are inferior, the brown-eyed students who are in the minority should be the leader. Therefore, the seats of the blue-eyed students are all transferred to the back of the classroom, and the queue is also at the back. Water can only be used in paper cups; students with brown eyes enjoy many privileges.

A few minutes after classifying the pros and cons according to eye color, the students with blue eyes began to have poor learning ability, feeling depressed, depressed and angry; while the students with brown eyes became arrogant and arrogant. The next day, Teacher Elliot announced in class that she made a mistake yesterday. In fact, people with blue eyes should be better than those with brown eyes.As a result, after another grade division, the brown-eyed students who were proud yesterday all fell into the abyss of despair, while the blue-eyed students turned over like salted fish, became happy and confident, and their learning ability improved a lot. At the same time, they looked down on yesterday Their brown-eyed classmate.The friendly atmosphere that existed among the classmates disappeared completely and was replaced by hostility.

On the third day, Teacher Ai Lite announced that, in fact, what she said two days ago was wrong. In fact, no one is inferior to another, and everyone is the same. Teacher, cheers. This experiment clearly tells us that categorizing people and stamping them with different stamps not only affects the self-expectations of those involved, but also creates mutual hostility.
