What is the influence of culture on social mores and personal values? Explain. To what
extent, if any, does cognitive dissonance affects our attitude, culture representations, and the
application of a Christian worldview? Support your position.
Primarily, cognitive dissonance can be best described as a state of ambiguous conflicting beliefs,
and values as well as ideals typically experienced by those individual followers associated with
the QAnon conspiracy cult as example. Accordingly, consistent with psychological stress
individuals whose beliefs clash with the norms of society attempt to find ways to resolve these
discrepancies within themselves and each other by either developing new rational and
explanations, beliefs, ignoring the source, or eliminating the conflict altogether. The problem lies
within the fundamental paradoxical self-imposed conflicts of their self-perceived honesty while
attempting to maintain consistency in their belief system. The challenge stems from gaining an
understanding of the social situation as in terms of cognition as it relates to emotion, moods, and
other aspects of mental processes such as personality including one’s social cultural identity.
However, when an individual’s course of action goes contrary to the direction that they advocate
they may demonstrate an immediate change in attitude an advocate for change reflecting an
uncomfortable psychological state, primarily motivated as an attempt to escape their particular
predicament and avoid responsibility with a negative consequences as a result (Eisentadt &
Leippe, 2005; Kochanowicz et al., 2015). Notwithstanding, as how this relates to fundamental
Christian worldview, religious groups such as Christian and Muslim organizations in United
States have exhibited a social dominance as well as a propensity towards right-wing
authoritarianism, a religious preference towards fundamentalism within a structured orthodoxy
which attitudes correlates in both measures of either implicit and/or explicit (Rowatt et al.,
2005). Consequently, attitudes and emotions maybe situational as they are born out of the
moment in which may account for the inconsistency in cognitive behavior and the incidences of
contradictory rationalization in an attempt to reduce dissonance or modify the mental tension that
arises from behavior in which is incompatible with social norms. In a sense, the appearance of
self-initiated behavior modification to reduce psychological discomfort created through
persistent cognitive dissonance in a belief system that is knowingly contradictory to known facts
(Martine & Olive, 2013).
