CAS Reflection
I finally worked
in the other class with the seeds. I am super excited for the workshop we will
do soon (by the way: I love how ambitious and professional is the woman who is
working with us -Rebeca is her name- she has high standards of work). Felt
homesick to see the cutie little children and remember my brother. I noticing I
have potential difficulties to say the things I want to in German, but I can
understand quite well. I notice different behaviors in children when they were
doing the plantation: some loved to touch the sand while others hated it so
badly. Kindergarten is a good place to observe how human beings are.
Theatre Class
Based on Basti
Monologue... Personal thought walking towards: Ethics X instinct
Which is linked
with Anthro Class...
When we
talked about:
Meaning of life...
Ethics X Instincts
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What to do when
the gosh of your public image come back to disturb you? What should we do them?
How to be free of
the old chains?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I loved Anthro
class today. I could get all the logico-meaningfull and logico-structural
aspects of functionalism way of thinking. But, besides I understand it, I loved
the end. When we randomly discussed about meaning of life.
I loved when Mihir
was honest enough to say: ''I wouldn't like to have migrants here in Germany.
Why should I give a shit for it? My instincts drive me to think I have no
business with this people. Nevertheless, I can't just think in terms of my own
instincts. I also hold ethics''. I have no doubts about his ethics towards it.
Suddenly I realize
there is a real world. A real world with people honestly enough to do not be a
''model direct linked with their moral standards''. They are not recruited to
be part of the Chuck Norris army. He talked without demagogy. ''I don't like
this people coming here''. He said it without feel bad or socially coerced to
tell his natural feelings and instincts.
I am kind trained
to feel bad about my sins and about my nature and do not really relay in instincts.
As a Christian, I learn how to hold my moral values and not run away for my
instincts. The fight between the flesh and the spirit.
Therefore, when I
see this political correct people I cannot avoid thinking the political
correctness is just another kind of religion.
However, for that
I would have to admit (without fell guilt) religion is also a way of
totalitarianism. Even in the ways I personally assume Christianity, because I believe
in a divine moral standard is better than my own. ''His justice is better than
mine'' as we would quote the bible.
But I would come
with the reasoning which is quite unreasonable saying: ''I don't know why is
His moral better than my own, but I am not smart enough to reach the complete God’s
knowledge, so I am will relay in the order of moral things and events as the
bible describe without argue''.
I really thought
God as the guy who would be playing around with me. However, my empirical
experience made me believe He is besides everything else, a loving God. In
addition, having a relationship (that is how I describe my spiritual
experience: I hate the term religion) I can figure how He is loving. That is
what drives me to believe blindly in his morality. I can reason in His morality
because I believe He is a loving God, but I can't reason how loving He is
because it is based on my personal experience.
But coming back to
political correctness:
Or am I saying
political correctness is a religion just because it is totalitarian?
Well...
When we will be
free without the pressure of having the mind colonized by the imperialism of
certain values, being them from Religion or even from Political Correctness?
When will we stop
to use the power of guilt to coerce people and convince them? Can we even
believe in the power of coercion?
If I do not
believe in a ''guilt system'' as a way of converting someone, how can I
be Christian?
Well...
Coming back to
what I learn from this last 5 philosophical minutes (please, do that more
often, Mihir!).
I wonder in which
extend can we consider our instincts ''pure of ethics'' ? Since I born in a
context with certain patterns of behaviors immerse in a certain mentality. Can
I actually separate in the reality Ethic and Instinct when I see the whole
picture?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My theatre class
also made me pretty thoughtful in two senses:
1) In the play we
are preparing: how do I link Ethics and Instinct based on the piece of writing
Basti and me wrote. Once both talk mainly about an uncontrollable desire. How
do we address an ethical reflection to the audience?
2) About the
individual exploration we were working on I figure out how important is to think
about Rape. The essay Katarina send to us is mostly talking about how there is
so much shades of rape and in so many cases they are assisted in a very
insensitive way by the court, claiming for medical exams confirming for
example.
There is no such a
thing as white and black every time.
In which extend
can something be a rape?
Just physical or
also emotional violation?
The borders are
not exactly delimited.
It makes me connect
with something, which is happening in Brazil right now. Apparently there is a new
law towards the SUS (that is the public system of wealth) restricting even more
the consults by women in case of sexual violence. The laws towards abortion are
clearly more restrict now. (Abortion is allowed in Brazil in cases of
rape).
But what can we
call rape? Wasn't a sexual violence what the media have doing with women so
far?
Me and two guys
were today in the lunch were discussing how they though was unfair the fact
they would love to be touched for a women in a party but how would be a scandal
if a a boy do that with a girl.
How about the
oppression of women always being objectified and being the means of consumption
for male in pornography magazines? Even tough we have the male people naked and
so one, women are portrayed as the strong sex while the women are always trying
to please the other sex.
Oh well... How
long have being our society raping and defrauding women conscience?
One coment about the third play I found very powerfull:
Celine:'' about how the audience is in the front and need to watch static without take any action. It is very scary but most scary is to think it happens in real life but no one take action''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I ALREADY EXPEND 2 HOURS OF MY DAY DOING THIS REFLECTIONS.
TIME TO LEAVE!!
