It is just
a cartoon,what could go wrong? In psychology, there is a theory called
"Familiarity theory". When a person is exposed to a new experience,
gradually the person will accept it as a norm. Same thing happens to society. Bit
by bit they expose the taboo elements and slowly our society will accept them.
Can't you see?
Can't you see they start to play with words? If
you learn discourse analysis, words are bounded into three classes. Negative, neutral,
and positive. Take a look at the word "homophobic". "Homo"
is a neutral word but "phobic" is a negative word. Derived from the
word "phobia". When you have phobia of something, it carries negative
experience. By calling "homophobic" to people who disagree with them, it subconsciously develops negative
image on the people. No one likes to be perceived as negative people. Slowly
people will think "hey, let's accept the behaviour or we are going to be
perceived as negative people." What
if we call the people as "Pro human nature". Pretty sure no one minds
to be called that. Can't you see? I watch a documentary on how the slowly make
the western society to accept the group. In early 90's, it was a taboo to be
gay. Instead of using the words "homosexual
or gay", they replaced the words with "queer" and the society
started to accept it. Enough of discourse. Can't you see?
Now move on
to the point "Hey, now it is 2017,we are not in stone age!". The
definition of modern life varies
according to scholars. Some perceive modern life as progression and development in lifestyle
with cutting edge technology and skyscrapers in cities. I prefer the definition
of modern life as progression and development in lifestyle also our moral (in my case religion and the
definition is not by me). Sad to say most of us only prefer the first
definition. Okey back to 2017, what if I said "Hey it is 2017,are you
living in stone age? Do you know that homosexuality can be traced back to
thousands years ago? Why do you want to practice ancient tradition?"
Heh.So many
things I want to say but now I am too lazy. Okay I am going off now.Goodbye.
