Trying to understand guilt and its manifestations
• Why do we have guilt?• Context of scams and losing large sums of
cash.
• What is it? Theoretical frameworks
• How does it differ from “shame”?• What can we do about its
negative/debilitating affects?

Theories!
• Genes and memes• Biological and sociological• Biological – our genes ; our DNA has to
get into the next generation – and the next- this is our immortality ad infinitum
• We are “hard wired” to find a “mate” like any creature on the planet.

Memes
• Inheritable beliefs that influence the way we live /or we think we are supposed to live our lives.
• Our core beliefs which can bring guilt or life problems.

Religions of the World
• Powerful memes are passed on through generations. We internalise them and own them.
• If we think we have “transgressed” or behaved outside the mores or norms of our cultural expectations – we may suffer guilt.

Shame v Guilt
• Some cultures/religions are shame rather than guilt based
• Eg Family honour – kill, stone, whip, excommunicate, disown (fatwa).
• Shame is more blame other; guilt is more blame self.

Freud Psychodynamic theory• Three levels. ID = Instinctual Drives for
sex, a mate, another person.• Ego = The self “I” “ME”• Superego = developed conscience.• The battle between ID and Superego
produces anxiety/inner conflict.

Collective v individual guilt
• We can feel guilty for what our culture, country, leader, group or family does. (genocide; war behaviours; torture; crime, DV)
• We have little control over their decisions and yet we may be vicariously implicated.
