original meaning of the ban was purely religious.Tabu - is the inability to perform certain actions under penalty of punishment of the gods.What is prohibited is a sin.Taboo - it is an absolute, it does not explain logically "no".Higher resolutions which are binding for the common man.
Origin concepts
James Cook first encountered this interesting phenomenon in 1771.Polynesians introduced him with its main traditions, among which was "taboo."It so impressed him that the legend about the strangeness of "savages" were composed for a long time and passed from mouth to mouth.The spiritual purity of the local population, capable of sincere faith and irresistible, was probably the main factor that is expressed in the concept.For savages taboo - the prohibition is the highest, the psychological block, the violation of which could even cause a sudden and unjustified death.Such was the strength of their faith!
modern use of the term "taboo»
bulk and the immensity of the concept of "taboo" liked scientist.It gradually became a sociology, psychology and some other disciplines.Tabu - is the concept of "sacred", "ban".Scientists have greatly expanded its importance, has degenerated into a complex structure, intertwine and merge the two interpretations of the term in a multi-level, which over time has become increasingly important.The main course, a ban.But it can have a variety of shades and bases associated with the subtlest level of human psychology.
For science taboo - it is less a religious prohibition and moral norm against an object or phenomenon.Parts of the body or the person may be sacred or taboo.Sometimes the book "taboo" any information which for some reason does not apply to a wide range.
taboo in education
concept is very figurative.Our imagination associates it with any ban, which is not very convenient for some reason, explain.For example, it is very difficult to explain to a small child the value of swear words.Parents often can not answer the question the children about why you can not use these words - something adults do not limit yourself.Kids are taught that these words - a taboo.Mom, do not even pondering the meaning of what is happening, inspire your child almost primitive notion of prohibition.So, for the baby taboo - it is usually instilled authority of the mother (father), the violation of which certainly will bring the wrath of their parents.This is very far from the civilized explain the meaning of what is happening, but it is convenient.
Unfortunately, "comfortable" parenting practices give rise to a child's limitations, injuring him in adulthood.The man not only produces a habit of doing certain actions or use certain words, but hard to worship setting authority that for him as a child were the parents.Get rid of the psychological bind to authoritarianism is very difficult then, alone is almost impossible, so deeply rooted in her personality.This fact prevents further growth and harmonious development of man, achieve their goals.
