Concept blindness refers to the inability to perceive or understand certain ideas, concepts, or realities, often due to a lack of necessary knowledge or vocabulary to describe them. This term can be applied in various contexts, including social and cultural understanding.
In the context of social and cultural issues, concept blindness can manifest as an inability to recognize or address systemic problems such as racism or environmental destruction. This occurs when individuals lack the concepts and language to describe and understand these issues, leading to ignorance or misunderstanding of their existence and impact.
