From the perspective that disgust is deeply involved in exclusion, I commented on six papers in this special issue. In the first sense, disgust is a food-related emotion that rejects harmful foods. However, with cognitive development, things that are offensive to the self and the group (society, culture) to which the self belongs evoke disgust. Exclusion is often a conscious and deliberate action taken against out-group members who are harmful or expected to be harmful to the in-group and its members. Therefore, a high level of cognitive-emotional process is involved in its occurrence. Disgust plays a central role in this process. Finally, I mentioned the possibility of realizing a multicultural society without exclusion.
