    “Our paradigms, correct or incorrect, are the sources of our attitudes and behaviors, and ultimately our relationships with others” – Steven R. Covey. Our paradigm is how we see the world; it influences our frame of reference based primarily on our own experiences; we see the world not as it is, but as we are – or are conditioned to see it. Sometimes our paradigms are simply dead wrong; often we feel validated by what other people tell us about ourselves. If we were once told that you are not a good student, good employee or good person, our nature if often to believe those things about ourselves even if they are not true. Humans naturally tend to live out of their memories and social mirrors which make us insecure and vulnerable; instead, Dr. Covey encourages us to change our self-map by looking internally and finding new ways of thinking.…

    Archetypes are used to convey a story about a character without digressing from the main narrative. The use of archetypes can also be used to express complex ideas about a group, but when these archetypes are allowed to be used outside of their original context the become a stereotype. In quinceañeras, and in the Ballrooms of Detroit stereotypes are points of conflict where as traditionalists people confirm their membership in a group by perpetuating them, and as non-traditionalists they refuse to conform to stereotypes that have been placed on them by society.…

    Archetypes, as defined by the Swiss psychoanalyst Carl Gustav Jung, are the “contents of the collective unconscious”. Similar to motifs, archetypes are the “deposits of the constantly repeated experiences of humanity”; they are universally understood symbols and patterns that have occurred and continue to occur in art and literature. In The Hunger Games, there are several key archetypal characters and situations.…

    Archetypes are recurring symbols, characters, landscapes, or events found in myths and literature across different cultures and eras that help us organize events into categories. There are three main types of archetypes which include situational, character, and symbolic. All three are easily relatable to. Firstly, an example of a unhealable wound in a situational archetype can be found with Mrs. Maloney in “Lamb to the Slaughter.” An example of a scapegoat, which is a character archetype, is Tessie Hutchinson in “The Lottery” where she is stoned to death. Finally, an example of a light/darkness symbolic archetype can be found in “The Sniper” where in this case darkness defeats light.…

    Archetypes are defined as universally understood symbols, terms, or behaviors. They are often used in stories to define characters and influence the reader. In David Lindenfeld’s article, “Jungian Archetypes and the Discourse of History,” Carl Jung is accredited with saying that archetypes are like plastic sets of dispositions whose specific manifestations are shaped by culture and situation (217). In Much Ado about Nothing, three types of archetypes can be clearly seen. These are symbolic, characteristic, and situational.…

    Maybe he did so because he didn't want them to have the benefits the rings provided them considering they destroyed them afterwards and also because it weakened Klaus. I'm not sure how much they weakened Klaus but for him to be ranting about that it must've been a bit bad. Either way I do think he could've defended himself regardless. Klaus seemed like he was having an orgasming everytime they took the rings off haha! Although like you said they could've just killed their asses while the sun was still shining and did the same thing.…

It starts when she learns that there is an awful thing going on other islands and she is intrigued to go and explore beyond the reefs, which is the call to Adventure. She also gets lots of unconditional love when her ancestors appear, guide the path, and previously her grandma showed lots of support. But then the refusal to call hits fast when Moana wants to leave but her dad rejects and says to be happy where you are.…

    Firstly, we should explain what archetypes are. They are inborn patterns, something given to us prior birth, but consciously we do not know we have them. They guide our existence, influence our behavior and our intuition as well. This means that The Lady’s actions and thoughts are also governed in an unconscious manner by the archetypes.…
