Human biases and stereotypes

Reference no: EM1383552

I've been noticing lately many more "feel good" stories in news, such as the good Samaritans who have turned in backpacks filled with money, or Dairy Queen employee who stood up for his disabled customer, the online fundraising campaigns for individuals in need, or the many surprise reunions of returning vets and their children, and soon. Are humans, by nature, though, geared to register the positive news as much as we do the negative? Are we, by nature, geared to register and take on biases and stereotypes? What are your thoughts about this?
