Of all taboo violations, which is the greatest - making them public?
I know a woman with this disorder. The acts that have been committed to induce this are certainly at the top of my list of 'greatest taboos'. I can't think of much worse.Loren Booda said:At my job on a mental health phoneline, I have talked to several people with Dissociative Identity Disorder (Multiple Personality Disorder). They commonly speak of being victims of ritualistic and incessant torture - physical, sexual and emotional - by their parents or guardians from an early age.
that's not taboo, it's just gross. taboo would be having sex with a live dog in private.wasteofo2 said:I think raping a dead dog in public which has had all of it's hair and skin removed would be pretty high up there.
So I can have sex with my poodle?Adam said:Killing your own child is not universally taboo. In any culture, any time or place, the greatest taboo is simply going against what is accepted. The act of going against what is accepted can take nay number of forms, but essentially it al boils down to numbers, being the one who does what the masses do not. And since we know that numbers do not make a thing right or wrong, it's rather silly to base what we consider acceptable or unacceptable on that.

The greatest taboo is a concept that refers to a topic or subject that is considered highly sensitive, forbidden, or socially unacceptable to discuss or engage with in society.
"The greatest taboo" is considered taboo because it challenges societal norms, values, and beliefs. It often involves topics related to sex, death, religion, politics, and other controversial issues that make people uncomfortable or defensive.
Examples of "The greatest taboo" can vary depending on cultural and societal norms, but some common examples include discussing sexual fetishes, mental health, drug use, or speaking out against religious or political ideologies.
Breaking "The greatest taboo" is important because it allows for open and honest discussions about important and often stigmatized topics. It can lead to a better understanding and acceptance of diverse perspectives and experiences, and ultimately promote social progress and change.
We can break "The greatest taboo" by actively challenging and questioning societal norms and beliefs, encouraging open and respectful dialogue, educating ourselves and others, and promoting empathy and understanding towards different perspectives.
