The Moral Premise Blog: Story Structure Craft: Not Without My Daughter - 0 views

  • There is a fundamental anti-conscience aspect to radical Islam where rote ideology supports a culture where suppression of another person's conscience (the inner sense of what is right or wrong) is allowed and encouraged
  • Thus, Moody manipulates Betty to take their daughter back for a 2-week visit to Iran to visit his family, but secretly he has no intention of leaving, or letting them leave the deeply misogynistic culture. 
  • Why would Moody (an American trained doctor) stay in a culture that seems to have jumped backwards 1,000 years in terms of hygiene, medicine, science, human rights, freedoms, and basic knowledge about the human condition? Several reasons. (1) It's revealed that his political activities in the U.S. have resulted in his termination from two jobs, in two states, and two different hospital systems -- further resulting in the loss of his Green Card.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • (2) The second reason Moody relapses to his upbringing is that (as Betty surmises in the book) there is an basic inability of the Islamic culture to think independently -- a trait ingrained by the educational system upon her daughter, where all learning is by rote repetition
  • You are taught only to say and think what is spoon fed to you.
  • Where there's a will, there's a way.
  • This engenders in Betty, a perseverance in the midst of persecution, that allows her achievement of the goal -- getting out of Iran with her daughter. And the odds and obstacles for the unlikely, common hero are immense -- natural structure for a successful movie
  • Betty reiterates that her father brought her up to believe
  • In this story, Betty retains or embodies the practice of listening to her (properly formed) conscience (or will) while her antagonists (the autocratic Islamic culture, represented by Moody) embody a rote-mentality (or suppression of the will) and a willingness to live under tyranny.

Humour is a funny business - 0 views

  •  
    A comedian told a joke in a forest but there was no one there to hear it. So was it funny? Humour is something we all have but when was the last time you stopped and thought about what's funny and why it's funny? Scottish novelist Jim Murdoch takes a step back and looks at his own use of humour in his first novel and takes a moment to analyse the famous light bulb joke.

Boys Will Be Boys - 0 views

  •  
    VICTORVILLE | March 30, 2011On Tuesday about 85 miles northeast of Los Angeles in Victorville, California at or near Westway Lane and Primavera Way at approximately 4 p.m., a 12-year old boy was arrested on the suspicion of stabbing a 13-year old boy with nonetheless a steak knife and later booked in the Apple Valley Juvenile Hall for investigation of assault with a weapon, terrorist threats and possession of a deadly weapon according to San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department. When officers arrived at the scene, the 12-year old had a steak knife and a hand-held blade in the shape of a star. The 13-year old victim who sustained minor injuries, or basically, minor lacerations, had his wounds treated at the scene by paramedics. Names of the boys cannot be released as they are minors, reports KTLA. Interestingly enough, the Los Angeles Times has it that the 13-year old stabbed the 12-year old, in what is more than likely a typographical error.Upon questioning by deputies, not only did it become clear that boys will be boys, it was discovered that as two boys, the stabbing incident was the escalation of an argument over a mutual romantic interest - a girl. The argument escalated into threats and escalated yet again with physical violence when the 12-year old allegedly stabbed the 13-year old with the steak knife.Regardless of which boy stabbed the other, the fact of the matter is, two minor boys below the age of 18 were in the possession of what are considered deadly weapons and in an effort to resolve a dispute, they chose to use tools available to them in a fight for the femme. This never should have been an option. The arrested teen should be given a psychiatric evaluation as should his parents followed by an in depth look into his home life and the relationships he maintains with his parents to get an idea as to how and why this type of incident could occur. Is this the type of dispute resolution that children are learning today....

Joseph Campbell - A Scholar's Life - 0 views

  • For Joseph Campbell, the study of myth was the exploration of the possibilities of consciousness. His lifetime of scholarship was nothing less than the search for the Holy Grail of radiant living.
  • It is more than a presentation of fascinating stories from all over the world. It is a vision of a rich inner life available to anyone willing to go on the initiatory adventures.
  • His interest in mythology began at age seven when he saw the Indians in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show in Madison Square Garden.
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • in 1924, he met Jiddu Krishnamurti, not yet the great world teacher of the Theosophists.
  • A principle mentor was Indologist Heinrich Zimmer,
  • Campbell studied how Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung used myth in psychology.
  • The latest incarnation of Oedipus, the continued romance of Beauty and the Beast, stand this afternoon on the corner of 42nd Street and Fifth Avenue, waiting for the traffic light to change.
  • Campbell's description of the hero's journey has been used extensively by generations of artists and scholars. It showed the similarities among the great stories of world mythology.
  • It is a model of initiatory elements in myth, religion, literature, and ritual.
  • The The Hero With a Thousand Faces showed the similarities among the mythological traditions. Campbell followed this with a series of writings on the great differences among the world myths. The four-volume Masks of God: Primitive Mythology (1959), Oriental Mythology (1962), Occidental Mythology (1964), and Creative Mythology (1968) analyzed the distinctions among the mythologies of various regions and cultures.
  • First is the metaphysical function. Myth awakens and supports a sense of awe before the mystery of being. It reconciles consciousness to the preconditions of its own existence. Myth induces a realization that behind the surface phenomenology of the world, there is a transcendent mystery source. Through this vitalizing mystical function, the universe becomes a holy picture.
  • The second is a cosmological dimension deals with the image of the world that is the focus of science. This function shows the shape of the universe, but in such a way that the mystery still comes through. The cosmology should correspond to the actual experience, knowledge, and mentality of the culture. This interpretive function changes radically over time. It presents a map or picture of the order of the cosmos and our relationship to it.
  • Third is the sociological function. Myth supports and validates the specific moral order of the society out of which it arose. Particular life-customs of this social dimension, such as ethical laws and social roles, evolve dramatically. This function, and the rites by which it is rendered, establishes in members of the group concerned a system of sentiments that can be depended upon to link that person spontaneously to its ends.
  • The fourth function of myth is psychological. The myths show how to live a human lifetime under any circumstances. It is this pedagogical function of mythology that carries the individual through the various stages and crises of life, from childhood dependency, to the responsibilities of maturity, to the reflection of old age, and finally, to death. It helps people grasp the unfolding of life with integrity. It initiates individuals into the order of realities in their own psyches, guiding them toward enrichment and realization.
  • Campbell was discovered by a new generation when George Lucas based much of his screenplay for Star Wars (1977)
