@tavelarocque: day 20 of the @higherupwellness speak your mind challenge. kill a cockroach, you're a hero. kill a butterfly, you're a monster. same exact act. and the reason why should disturb you. a cockroach and a butterfly are both just insects. neither one did anything to you. but one you squash without a second thought, and the other you'd feel sick stepping on. the only real difference is one is beautiful and one is ugly. human morality runs on aesthetics. we hand out innocence to beauty and guilt to ugliness. psychologists named it the halo effect: we assume what's beautiful is good, and what's ugly is bad. and it doesn't stop at bugs. studies show attractive people get trusted more, believed more, even lighter sentences in court for the same crime. you think your moral instincts are about right and wrong. a lot of the time, they're just reacting to what looks nice. is it actually wrong? or is it just ugly? #psychology #haloeffect #mindset #philosophy

Roaches spread diseases while butterflies are good valued pollinators

this is the worst example of the halo effect, roaches can spread diseases and contaminate stuff, butterflies are valued pollinators and help the environment
use moths and butterflies as an example, not this

Cockroaches spread diseases contaminate your foods dirtier things and overall it doesn’t contribute to anything I used to have a house contaminated atrocious when I was little and it was not fun on the other hand butterflies are pollinators like bees and helps with the environment

You're right and wrong at the same time. Yes, you're a hero for killing cockroaches because they are household pests, carry infections, and nothing to contribute in the environment. So they are seen as "villains". On the other hand, butterflies. Butterflies are handy in pollination. So if you kill one, you're seen as a "villain" since they contribute something good in the environment. Halo effect can apply if you compare something similar like moths or butterflies, which belong in the same family.

HenokTheHungryGuy :
cockroaches isnt the answer for this, if you want to show the definition of the halo effect, use a moth and a butterfly. they both help the ecosystem yet people hate the moth by the way it looks
