words and their potency?
Did you give yourself something to measure to keep
on track?
Did you make a cube you know you want to keep with
you?
Did you select a noble goal?

positive vision, clarity, purpose, detail - and
ways we can measure our progress.

THESIS of this video: perception is the root
of everything. Perception may not always be
accurate. Therefore perceptions are sometimes not
perceptions at all; they are beliefs. Beliefs run
your cells, not your genes! =
Genes,
causation and correlation . . . genes do not control
the body. "Agency" does.
This isn't on the exam, but it's very interesting.
Survival = growth - protection (growth minus
protection) Growth is love. Protection
is fear.
Otto Rank: fear is fear of 3 combo-events:
constriction, falling, loud noises.
adrenal system is a master switch that switches
between two systems: muscles and bones
or the visceral system. When we are under
threat, the adrenal system will shut off the system
that is not needed. Well, that's all in tape

Thought
In 1-2 pages, illuminate 1-2 of
the following. Present it and a moment to the class
|
|
1. DATA - a finding
|
e.g.,
modern world more rational
e.g., weak bond in a group = more violence |
|
2. CONCEPT - meaning of a word or a
term: a good and useful distinction.
|
Power v.
Status.
Examples of Power and Status to illustrate the
concept |
|
3. SUB CULTURAL observation,
specific to a subculture (ethnicity, age, gender,
association, occupational, social, religious, political
party, culture, style).
|
e.g.,
Barack Obama and ritual (p 45. Ritual
eliminates indeterminacy in social space.
Things done to normalize - remove indeterminacy - for the public. B.O. is much
written about, so using him as example must be carefully
crafted and not platitudes. |
|
4. EMOTIONAL ZONE - search for any portion that is
pertinent to any aspect of the Emotional Zone Model and
report.
|
Threats
to group security (p. 47-48) cause emotion, but it
is commitment to the familiar and fear of
instability--the emotion comes from the solidarity
prior to the emotion more than from a current
"hate." |
