How come in the age of DNA people still adore blue bloods?

Question

we claim to be civilised and modern but love to pay obesience to kings and queens and such dynastries which existed when feudal system was in thing. cann't we change or is it in our genes?

Answer 1

Our claim to be civilised and modern happens just to be a claim !

For now civilisation is just a good concept.Or else can we find all sorts of madness that exists ?

And WE cant change a thing.I can change,You can change. Only individuals can change.crowds can change only in terms of shifting from one extreme to another.

For sure,it's not in our genes.It's just in the minds.....

Answer 2

i dont have a king:

William Wallace: Every man dies, not every man really lives.

Answer 3

The 'Age of DNA' doesn't mean much to the majority of people.

Anyway, there will always be a certain percentage of people who fall into the 'submissive' category.

Answer 4

Blue  blood  is just  a  saying.  The  rich  have the  same  color  blood  as   working  people.  As  far  as  people  being  facinated  with  royalty  and  aristocracy  in  Europe  and  eleswhere,  the  answer  is  simple.  For  me  and   most  of  Americans,  the  idea  of  royalty  is  something  we're  not  accostumed  to  in  this  country.  If for a  moment,  you  discount  Hollywood  "royalty",  the  only  "royal"  family  we have  in  this  country  is   the Kennedys.  As  for  the  interest  in  crowned  royal  heads,  it's  about  history.  While  most  royal  houses,  depending  where  they  are  in  the world  are  more  well  known  than  others,  they  all  have  one  thing  in  common.  They  have   been  institutions  in  their  respective  countries   for  centuries.   Admittedly,  more  is  known  about  the  royal  houses  in Europe  then  those  in  the  Asia and  the  Middle East.  Everyone  would  agree  that  one  royal  European  house,  the  house  of Windsor   is    the  best  known  royal  house,  second  is  that  of the  royal family  of Monaco.  One  common  trait   that  all  of  the  royal houses  in  Europe  have in  common  is  that  they're  all  connected  by  the  two   royal  heavy-hitters  of  the  19th  century,  Queen  Victoria  of   England  and  King  Christian  IX  of  Denmark,

Answer 5

To the person above me: please do not quote William Wallace from a movie. If you're going to do so, please at least put the movie title instead of Wallace's name. Ugh.

"Blue blood" is a quaint term people used to delude themselves that there was something special about their lines. Considering that every ruler has been placed or fought their way to the throne, it can only really be defined as traditionally accepted royal houses and their lines. Money doesn't have anything to do with your DNA, and assuming that something about your genetics just makes you a better human being than everyone else is called Eugenics.

Answer 6

"adoring" blue bloods has nothing at all to do with DNA and only in your mind,do people "love to pay obesience [sic] to" them.I don't know why it is that the people asking this type of question on here love to advertise their ignorance in such a manner.They really think that conditions in Britain are the same as they were three hundred years ago?unbelievable.

Answer 7

Living in the era of DNA has nothing to do do with adoring the blue-blooded folks.

There's a certain fascination about the world of castles and knights and kings and queens.

We don't pay homage to these people in big palaces.  We are not oppressed because of these people.  And, we certainly don't honor them above all others.

Answer 8

Well, being from the United States, I could give a rip about blue bloods - don't care one thing about them, their lives or their loves.  I also don't care about entertainers either.  I love the characters they portray, but I don't care about the person behind the entertainment.  I am in love with Captain Jack Sparrow from the Pirates of the Carribean movies, couldn't care a wit about Johnny Depp though.
