(Berger 91-94) There are many archetypes that exist in the film, “Jaws” such as that of the hero, who is chief Brody, (his role will be discussed further when the concept of the myth of the hero is discussed). The other two archetypes that exist in this film are, the monster which is obviously the shark and finally the instructor which is represented through Quint. In a text about the film entitled, “BFI Modern Classics:…

the mind has baffled psychologists for decades and – to some – the developmental stages of the brain have amplified this mystery. Two developmental psychologists that sought to expose the ambiguities of the mind were Piaget and Vygotsky. Piaget’s theory allows teachers to identify the characteristic ways in which students learn based on their age group and grade level, and Vygotsky’s theory gives teachers the ability to instruct students based on where they are developmentally by the concepts of…

which is understood as ‘unfamiliar’ appears opposed to the ‘familiar’ that Freud terms ‘heimlich’ in German to denote the existence of anything or situation which bears the qualities of intimacy to render a person feel comfortable (p.196). From the concept ‘Unheimlich’, Freud signifies the presence of estrangement in the home; there is a threatening feeling of the unknown that is located in the realm of the intimate and which creates permanent disturbance.

Picture a world in which you are the only mind. A world in which you are the only truly thinking being. In this world, you cannot be sure if others are having thoughts because they have a mind or if they are just simply a robot that is physically but not mentally present. This world is thought by some to exist, yet there are also many who oppose this philosophy known to many as the problem of other minds. From concepts coined by philosophers such as Bertrand Russell, John Stuart Mill, P.F.…

Galileo once remarked “I think that tastes, odors, colors, and so on reside in consciousness. Hence if the living creature were removed, all these qualities would be annihilated." By this, he suggests that the evidence of reality lives in one’s mind. The true nature of the world is a mystery to anyone who attempts to find it. Without a knowledge of authenticity or realness, how can one ever live a life that is purely “good”? A quality life can only come from a truly authentic life, according to…

The question has deep philosophical roots and has several titles, for example, the mind-body problem, mind-body interaction problem, or the hard problem of consciousness. Prima facie, the question may appear unnecessary as we ourselves obviously have minds, and we can physically feel and experience the world around us. Descartes famously stepped up the game on this…
