avoid individuals who are poor partners for social exchange. Examples of those who
are of low social value: homeless, mentally ill, criminals.
This stigma evokes anger and a need to punish.

DiscussionSocial Viscosity: any tendency for individuals to
continue living close to the place they were born (Dawkins, 218).
Our question: do you live in the same state you were born in? The same city?
Can we live in a world with no stigmas? An egalitarian society?
