Spanish term

es incluso a regañadientes como se incorporan a los mismos

Spanish to English Social Sciences Psychology essay on evolution of western civilization
En nuestra cultura occidental, la racionalización se impone a la religión y a las costumbres, y además tiene varias peculiaridades de las que carecen las demás: una de las más notables es la constante autocrítica, que entre otras cosas ha sido capaz de llevar a la abolición de la esclavitud, establecer los principios de los derechos humanos, los de la mujer, la igualdad de las razas, tener la vida como un valor fundamental, y un largo etcétera. Ninguna otra civilización ha aportado tanto a la evolución de los derechos de las personas, y ***es incluso a regañadientes como se incorporan a los mismos.


I can't make sense of this phrase. Context moves on to another issue and therefore offers no help.

Thanks for your suggestions!

and it is even by reinforcement that they adhere to them
