Interesting.

If you want to read more about this, research something called vicarious learning, or vicarious reenforcement. What these methods lead to is something called compassion fatigue, which it then becomes easier to divide, as the targets now lack empathy.

Vicarious Reinforcement is a learning process that was hypothesized in Social Learning Theory. It refers to the process of learning behaviors through observation of reward and punishment, rather than through direct experience. For example, children who have grown up with older brothers and sisters often learn about behavior and expectations through watching their siblings. When they see their sibling get rewarded for a certain action, they learn that they should also do the behavior.
