In our opinion the main factor in structuring human’s subconscious psyche and determining his identity (behavioural pattern or cognitive strategies) are not the values inherited from our forefathers and therefore not the ones capable of serving as key elements in forming his personality. After all general ideas and images by definition can’t create individuality – that would be contrary to logic. Jung talks about the existence of some racially-preformed collective persona, which selectively penetrates into man’s world, can be modified and further developed.

Since if we were to suppose that the hereditary unconscious ideas and images happen to be common to everyone, then all people would demonstrate exact same “standardized” reactions to those images. But is this what we see in reality?
