People are the most 'corrupted' species

Compared to most other animals, humans possessing a lot of bad habits can damage their own or themselves.

We lie, steal, cheat, engrave patterns on our bodies, kill people and commit suicide . LiveScience lists the 10 most inherent and typical habits of our species.

Lie

Now science is still not sure why humans lie, but studies show that lying is a very common phenomenon, and often comes from psychological factors.

Lying is closely related to self-esteem, according to psychologist Robert Feldman of the University of Massachusetts. When a person feels that self-esteem is at risk, they will immediately try to lie.

Statistically, it is easier to lie when exchanging work via email, compared to writing a letter.

Longing for violence

Some researchers argue that humans are "addicted" to violence and that has been carved into our genomes.

A 2008 study concluded that people also like violence as they like sex, food, or drugs.

"Humans are definitely ranked one of the most aggressive species on earth ," said University of Utah biologist David Carrier.

Many researchers believe that violence is an evolutionary trend in humans, it helps us in the process of survival. Professor Craig Kennedy at Vanderbilt University explains : 'Wariness is found in most vertebrate organisms. It is necessary for finding and capturing important resources such as partners, territories and food. '

Thief

There is a phrase of "poor bandit and a bandit ," however, for many people with stealing, their behavior is motivated by a strong sense of adventure when 'throwing ' some miscellaneous item. Stealing may have its origins in the genome.

A statistical study of 43,000 people found that 11% of them admitted to stealing at least once when shopping. They steal even if they can afford to pay for it.

Lie

According to a survey by the Pew Research Center, nearly one-fifth of Americans think tax fraud is acceptable and does not violate ethics. About 10% of the respondents said that adultery was not good but still liked this job.

Many studies show an irony that those who uphold moral standards are the ones who deceive their spouses the most, because adultery is acceptable behavior in some circumstances. Specifically.

Men - especially successful people - tend to be more adulterous than women because of their greater sexual passion.

Wire melon with bad habits

Studies have shown that even if the harmful effects of bad habits are clear, it is difficult to abandon them.

'Not because they lack information about the dangers of bad habits , ' said Cindy Jardine, a researcher at the University of Alberta. 'But a lot of people think that' how long that life is indifferent 'and so they prefer to enjoy for the present rather than worrying about a future that is still far from coming.'

Jardine points out a number of reasons why people often refuse to give up bad habits:

- Due to innate stubbornness in each person

- Needs to be recognized by society

- Inability to understand the nature of the risks of bad habits

- Due to the personal worldview and the ability to rationalize bad habits

- Congenital addiction tendency

Ỷ strong weak rape

Many studies have found that more than half of high school students have been bullied at school. A good study in 2009 showed that children who often bully friends at school often bully brothers at home. So many researchers think bullying usually starts from the family.

This bullying is not just childish. Another study found that about 30% of adults in the US are victims of bullying by bosses or colleagues such as criticism, spreading malicious rumors, deliberately hiding internal information, etc.

'Bullying behavior is often escalating, once it starts it will get bigger and bigger , ' said Sarah Tracy, director of the Wellness and Work-Life Project at Arizona State University.

According to psychologists, people prefer to bully the weaker than to affirm their status and authority.

Abuse the body with beauty tricks

Although more and more people are victims of cosmetic or cosmetic surgery, the number of people using cosmetic services keeps increasing.

The most powerful motivation for many people, especially women, to pursue costly, time-consuming aesthetic procedures is the desire to be beautiful, or simply by "demanding".

Beauty is always a temptation to resist most of us, and often brings many opportunities for those who own it. As the psychologist Diana Zuckerman, Director of the National Center for Studies in Women and Families, says: 'We live in a society that is' watching the face of a criminal image'.

Stress

Prolonged stress can be life-threatening, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease, and also cancers. Stress can lead to depression, which is one of the main causes of suicidal behavior.

The working environment is a significant cause of stress. According to International Trade Union statistics, more than 600 million people worldwide have to work more than 48 hours per week.

The pressure also weighed on the shoulders of those who just had to bear the responsibility of being a parent.

Health experts say exercise and getting enough sleep are the best ways to prevent stress.

Gambling

Gambling also seems to be already in the genome and programmed in our brains. This may explain why this potentially risky act of bankruptcy is so common.

According to a study published in last year's Neuron magazine, when a person enjoys the joy of victory, a 'circuit' related to sense of aggression and loss of hope is triggered, thereby stimulating the brain. continue to participate in gambling.

Studies also show that losing money will make people lose control even though they were reasonably expected to spend a certain amount of money on gambling.

Many things

Researchers say that humans have an 'instinct' to talk and judge others, even though it can hurt others.

Robin Dunbar, a researcher for primate species at Oxford University, said: 'Baboons see each other's brushing as a way to tighten social relations. Our species evolves, and we consider 'gossiping' as a glue in social relations. '

According to studies, 'scattering' helps establish interpersonal connections, and it makes us feel respected. However, in many "trafficking" , people do not appreciate the truth or accuracy of information, especially when the information is related to a third person.

Psychologist Jennifer Bosson of the University of South Florida said: 'When two people' speak badly 'of a third person, they feel closer.'
