Emotional epigenetics in educational support of hate speech and violence

Abstract

The educational risk represented by the Social Web often materializes in the direct or indirect introduction of highly hateful and violent content in the children's imagination, which sow and feed feelings of discrimination, oppression, expulsion and dissociality responsive to trauma. The need for awareness is clarified that the emotions conveyed by the mental images made available induce epigenetic solicitations. Through genetic mechanisms they put each individual in the condition of drawing on the genetic heritage of the Species by activating the phenotypic expression of unpredictable behaviors. An adequate and necessary awareness can guide the Professionals of the educational relationship towards an effective its formative use. The knowledge and dissemination of effective theoretical models to prevent hate trauma must necessarily start from a pedagogical proposal of experimental structure that is outlined with a transversal and trans-disciplinary method for a systemic and trans-generational observation.
