David Brooks 1: The social animal

TED2011
David Brooks 1 :The social animal (script)
Summary
We and politicians are the same jouman, and we are the social animals who live on earth. Human nature is created by reason and emotion.
However, in our current society, reason is not only separated from emotions but also suppressed to develop society. It is the success that we can see and it doesn't need the concepts of the ancient morality of virtue, honor, and goodness. This such shallow view is shared by the society currently. It leads to all things espcifically politics and education.
However, our emotion has two aspects that are conscious part and the unconscious part. In fact, when we do something, the unconscious part always works but it can't be suppressed and its influenceand is contagious. It leads not only to bad things but also good things, furthermore, it can be interpenetrated. So the speaker tells us that if we discover a more accurate vision of our deep unconsciousness, our policy failures might be changed.
Something inherited is that a view of human nature must be wonderful.
