I think inconsequential, because humans need some sort of belief system (religion or sth similar will always take its place..) to accept the harsh realities of life? D:
I didn't check most of the religious questions because I am not religious - I mean I guess I've been bothered by religious people trying to convert me into various religions?
Lived in Asia for most of my life so the racism stuff does apply to me a lot, even though I am white LOL. It can be both a huge advantage and a disadvantage all at once over here.
I don't really physical punishments have the intended effect - though it may seem so at first.
I was hit in the face/head by my mom as a child. Whenever I did something wrong, I think I did manage to connect the dots as to why I was hit.
However, it extended to being hit for whenever she was in a bad mood and I did something she perceived as wrong. This did not lead me to really understand what was the right and the wrong behavior, but instead just made me fearful of anything, but not really understanding what I did, and it hurt my confidence A LOT in the long run.
