Cognitive dissonance among students of the College of Basic Education, Al-Mustansiriya University

Abstract

Since ancient times, young people have been living in a state of perceptible contradiction between what they hide and what they show, between their own feelings and concepts and between the wills and requirements of society, between what they aspire to and the imposed reality. There is duality in it, where two cultures adhere to it, the street culture and the scientific culture.. The culture of the street does not separate when it learns and cultures as it is in the majority of peoples, so you find preachers, clerics and other intellectuals, none of whom tolerates the other opinion, and soon it revolts and the scientific personality separates from it And he adopts his second personality, which was formed with him in the culture of the street, so he curses obscene insults and hurls those who disagree with him with the lowest street phrases.
