Vì sao người Mỹ không chịu đeo khẩu trang?

văn hóa nó thế,

đeo khẩu trang, giống đeo mặt nạ, gắn liền với lục lâm thảo khấu, robin hood ăn cướp,

theo nghiên cứu, ngày lễ halloween, trẻ em đeo mặt nạ thì nghịch ngợm hơn, lấy nhiều kẹo hơn; ở các hội carnival, đeo mặt nạ thì chè chén, nhậu nhẹt, dâm ô/dâm đãng hơn v.v...

When no one can see our countenances (tán thành, đồng tình, ủng hộ, khuyến khích), we may behave differently. One study found that children wearing Halloween masks (mặt nạ) were more likely to break the rules (quấy phá) and take more candy (kẹo). The anonymity (tình trạng giấu tên, nặc danh) conferred (trao hoặc tặng (văn bằng hay tước vị)) by masks may be making it easier for protestors (biểu tình) to knock down (hạ xuống) so many statues (tượng).

And indeed, people have long used masks to achieve a kind of plausible (miệng lưỡi khéo léo; hợp lý, đáng tin cậy) deniability (có thể từ chối/khước từ/không nhận). At Carnival festivities (lễ hội) around the world people wear masks, and this seems to encourage greater revelry (cuộc chè chén say sưa; cuộc ăn uống ồn ào), drunkenness (say khướt, say bí tỉ), and lewd behavior (hành vi dâm dật), traits also associated with masked balls. The mask creates another persona. You can act a little more outrageously, knowing that your town or village, a few days later, will regard that as “a different you.”

If we look to popular culture, mask-wearing is again associated with a kind of transgression (sự vượt qua (giới hạn); sự vi phạm (pháp luật...); sự phạm quy, sự phạm tội; hiện tượng biển tiến, hiện tượng biển lấn (vào đất liền)). Batman, Robin and the Lone Ranger wear masks, not just to keep their true identities a secret, but to enable their “ordinary selves” to step into these larger-than-life roles.

And:

The tension of current mask policy is that it reflects a desire for a more obedient (biết nghe lời, biết vâng lời, dễ bảo, ngoan ngoãn), ordered society, for public health purposes above all, but at the same time it creates incentives and inclinations for non-conformity. That is true at least within the context of American culture, admittedly an outlier, both for its paranoia and for its infatuation with popular culture. As a society, our public mask-wearing is thus at war with its own emotional leanings, because it is packaging together a message based on both discipline and deviance.

What can we do to convince people that a mask-laden society, while it will feel weird and indeed be weird, can be made stable and beneficial through our own self-awareness?
