Ghost in the Shell
El alma, la tecnología, la religión y la ideología, son conceptos que si bien forman parte de la humanidad varían a medida pasa el tiempo, algunos cambian drásticamente y otros parecen no alterarse, pero todos están íntimamente relacionados. El objetivo de este ensayo será hacer un análisis del alma usando las ideas de la psicología con alma y la psicología sin alma en el modo en el que Jung las trato de integrar. Para esto me basare en un anime futurista llamado "Ghost in Shell", cuya trama bien podría parecer imposible y hasta utópica, pero ¿quien sabe?, el futuro es un misterio que en si no es puede predecir, y puede contener hechos tan fuertes que podrían cambiar la percepción tanto del mundo como de la vida misma.

"Ghost in the Shell" es un anime de estilo policial "cyberpunk", en el cual se tratan con temas como hackers y androides y temas relacionados al crimen tecnológico, creado por Magamune Shirow. La historia de este se da en Japon durante el año 2030 y trata temas variados en los cuales la "Sección 9" será la responsable de resolverlos. Dentro de los temas a analizar dentro del anime veremos específicamente a los "ghost", el concepto de humanidad, los caber-cerebros, y a dos personajes de la serie, los Tachikomas (tanques con inteligencia artificial) a Motoko Kusanagi (el personaje principal).

Los "Ghost", así como lo muestra el titulo del anime, son el concepto que manejan para denominar la esencia de cada persona o la conciencia individual de estas. Dentro del anime, la importancia de los "ghost" es primordial ya que estos son el medio por el cual se puede diferenciar a un ser humano de un robot biológico. Sin importan cuento material biológico sea cambiado por tecnológico o mecánico, el "ghost" hace que este nuevo "ser" siga manteniendo su humanidad y individualidad. El termino "ghost" fue creado por el filosofo ingles Gilbert Ryle y usado por diferentes autores como Arthur Koestler para hacer criticas al dualismo cartesiano afirmando que el

    Old Man With Enormous Wings Analysis

    It is with such a unique, magical realism story that Gabriel García Márquez is able subtly convey themes involving the foils of mankind to his audience. His story invites the reader to search for those deeper aspects within the text and try applying them to their own lives. Whether they discover that they should strive to be more compassionate, avoid being stereotypically superficial individuals, or do not read anything into the writing, the audience will undoubtedly enjoy Márquez’s superb skills as one of the best storytellers of the twentieth…

    Life of Pi

    Edward Said, a Palestinian American literary theorist and cultural critic, has written that “Exile is strangely compelling to think about but terrible to experience. It is the unhealable rift forced between a human being and a native place, between the self and its true home: its essential sadness can never be surmounted.” But Said has also proclaimed that exile can become “a potent, even enriching” experience. In Martel’s Life of Pi, Pi’s experience of exile is both alienating and enriching, just what Said has described it as. It turned out to be a terrifying experience that taught lessons of survival, reason, faith, and acceptance.…

    big bang theory vs relgion

    To clarify what's out there to be investigated, Southall begins the handbook in earnest by defining the terms, since ghosts, spirits and poltergeists are not interchangeable and represent quite different phenomena.Ghosts and apparitions are a kind a recording on the environment - a residual energy that can come from a person, animal or even an inanimate object. We can experience these lingering energies by sight, sound, smell and touch. Spirits are what people most often think of as "ghosts." A spirit is the "actual sentient presence, or soul, of an individual or individuals who have remained in the material world after his or her physical body has died." Southall continues by describing different types of spirits and the reasons they may have stayed behind.…

    Sure It's Rhoooul Analysis

    The conclusion drawn by Keith Hess in “Sure It’s Aliiiive, but Does It have a Sooooul?” is that we are non-physical beings. He best proves this point when saying that the Monster recreated its self to have a better body, much like our bodies do every day with the breakdown, repair and creation of new cells. In the third section of this paper, I argue that the author is correct and that we as humans or monsters are non-physical beings.…

    Sigmund Freud In A Midsummer Night's Madness

    As long as humans have been on this earth, they have been curious. People were curious about land, so they explored the world by ship. People were curious about the sea, so they dove below the surface. People were curious about the universe around them, so they sent man to space. In 1873, a European-American psychoanalyst named Sigmund Freud was curious about the mind, the subconscious, and how it affects human action, so he began studies of concepts and patients that would last over sixty years. 1923 brought a publication titled The Ego and the Id, that introduced new ideas of a developed and divided unconscious (“Timeline”). In his time, his works were used by psychologists around the globe, but now they have paved the way for a literary school of thought (Shmoop, “Psychoanalysis”). In William Shakespeare’s beloved comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Freud’s theory of the id, ego, and superego can be applied to analyze how the characters’ reactions are shaped by their subconscious and how their decisions affect the play as a whole.…

    Analysis on Ghost World, the Graphic Novel.

    “Ghost World” belongs to the world of comics that deals with normal people leading normal lives. There are no superheroes and villains, crime, noir, fantasy or illusion. It stands for realism and reality. The story is based not only on Clowes’s experiences of growing up, but on everybody’s experiences. The feelings you get by reading it and then by connecting the imagery, the pacing, the dialogue and the characters’ gestures with your own memories of being a frustrated, misunderstood teenager can literally freak you out. At least it happened to me thinking that someone could be crawling noisily across my mind. This “action to action” novel involves not only some universal identification that shocks through its frankness and naturalness, but also a special language, so real in choice and tone.…

    Today, people view video games as childish nonsense, wasted technology that does nothing but hurt the minds of our children. But in the 1980s, one man thought to change that simple idea, showing that video games can be used as messengers for a larger purpose. In the Metal Gear Solid series, Hideo Kojima criticizes social, political, and cultural issues through video games by introducing today’s generation to fears of nuclear fallout and technological anxiety, the government control of information and data during the Information Age, and through the theory of intertwined fictional and actual history called Hyperreality.…

    Monsters Inc.

    Monsters Inc. might just be seen as a Pixar animated kid’s movie when you first see it, but when you look deeper into it, you can see many similarities to general economic concepts, as well as our economy today. There are two totally different worlds in the movie; there is the world of the monsters and then there is the world of the humans, however, the monsters have to rely on the humans to survive. The monsters have to steal the screams of human children to use as a source of energy that the monsters use to power their homes, cars and any other electronic devices; and they do this through a corporation called Monsters Inc. Unfortunately, in the movie the world is starting to change and the kids are becoming less sensitive to violence which then causes a shortage of screams in the monster world which then leads to a shortage of energy in the monster world.…

    Freud and Jung

    At the beginning of the twentieth century, a new revolutionary way of understanding the mind had a great impact, not only in the science of psychology, but in all Western culture and in most of the aspects of society. Psychoanalysis adopted an important role, which still remains in our modern life, and Sigmund Freud was the responsible for it. Nevertheless, during this time, Carl Gustav Jung developed an important theory, making an immense contribution to psychology. Jung didn’t just criticize psychoanalysis in order to improve it but he also provided different perspectives and new ideas with the aim of trying to understand in a more complete sense the human being, its abysmal inside world and its relations with the outside world. Jung established the pillars of the school of “Analytical Psychology”. In the following paragraphs different aspects of the theories of these two important figures in the history of psychology will be revised and contrasted. Finally, the main weakness of Freud’s and Jung’s ideas will be presented in order to explain why it is complicated to consider their work and theories as science in its proper sense.…
