People underestimate how much trauma and specially childhood trauma shapes a human being.

@sanctusignis97465 жыл бұрын
@@nepadron bc humans cope with trauma in 3 ways; fight,flight and fawn,usually all 3 but one or two become dominant. Children that attempt to flee or fight become rebels,scapegoats and often suffer from self sabotage in later life...children that fawn become doormats in later life and often develop people pleasing tendencies and codepedency. All these kids will struggle with depression and anxiety and develop different forms of addictions like perfectionism,workaholicism,alcoholism,drug addiction,sex, gambling etc. They are also more likely to develop personality disorders with varying severity. Depending on their personalities,willpower and the environment they gravitate towards,that determines to what extent these issues affect them and whether they overcome them or not. PS my 3 siblings and I are survivors of child abuse n neglect.

I half-agree on that, because we've come a long way in psychology since it's acceptance in society and understanding what a trauma like this can do to a young still developing person. But I surely think that in general, mass education could be way broader and in-depth regarding these kinda topics, not only, but definately also in the US.
@Edninety5 жыл бұрын
@io To be fair, that is one example that went the right way and why would I not believe you in this context, but to also be fair, did you see or talk to the kid? Because your diagnosis could also solely be based on (positive) prejudices you got from psychology class when you never encountered the patient. Just saying. Because your second sentence rather comes off as trying to dissociate yourself from the oh so dumb public than constructive to me. no hate

OK, I'm not American and I had no idea about any of the real life events that inspired this novel, but reading the AGDS Wikipedia page I found this: "Because of questions about the number of deaths at the school and a high number of unmarked graves, the state authorized a forensic anthropology survey by University of South Florida in 2012. They identified 55 burials on the grounds, most outside the cemetery, and documented nearly 100 deaths at the school. The state said it did not have authority to allow exhumation of graves, which would permit determination of cause of death and identification of remains. (In addition it wanted to sell land on the property.) A family member of a student who died at the school in 1934, and who wanted to reinter his remains, filed suit and gained an injunction against the state's moving ahead with the sale before remains could be exhumed and identified." I... I... "The state said it did not have authority to allow exhumation of graves, which would permit determination of cause of death and identification of remains." I mean, it kinda goes without saying but WHAT THE FUCK FLORIDA.

GWTW doesn’t really focus on slavery. It is the backdrop. It’s Scarlett’s journey, her relationship with Rhett, her stupidity for idolizing Ashley, etc. The war, slaves, reconstruction, are there for drama, but it’s really just about Scarlett....she was in like every scene of an over 3 hr movie. That’s like saying the point of Castaway is airplane crashes.

Right? Sadly this "classic" asks the reader to see it from the oppressor's point of view. She devalues humans, lives off the suffering of those whom she has enslaved and labels HERSELF a victim. It's sickening that anyone would identify with her. And sad that still, after all this time and all this evolution of the human mind, some people still do. I've seen more outrage that Rhett slaps her bitch face than that people literally felt they had the right to own another human being!
