Social conditioning is more subtle than spraying a cat with water... it's the basis for how all cultures pass from one generation to the next. Perhaps I explained what I meant badly, but I was trying to say, I think Germany's disinterest in flags is an artificially imposed cultural element, social engineering, if you will.Of course there is a reason for it, and it's exactly the one you say it is, but I wouldn't classify it as conditioning (which at least to me sounds like spraying a cat with water when it tries to climb the curtains and not like 'not placing much value in something').
Although it's a funny thought to put a German flag into Kindergarten, and when the children pick it up, you honk a loud horn or something, I have to admit.
Although I love the idea of honking at kindergaarteners when they pick up a flag! We should write a research proposal and apply for funding!
