I picked Motivational Poster. As we discussed in class, human being is the top of creation. Like this image she made herself fun with strange action or obsession. “It is the complexity of humans, their god- likeness, that produces our ills, and so lunacy is seen as a result of the necessary and positive intricacy of being at the apex of creation” by davis.
The phenomenon of obsession is a wide range of people existence as modern consciousness. People upload their fun pictures and photos, tag it and create their own motivational poster. As a result, obsession becomes a diverse category of existence, it links to being an artist, a creator, a scientist and so on.
Animals should not mind dirty of ass or some unclean places. In this image, this animal is holding a lot of tissues and enjoys wiping its own ass, keep it clean. This is very often related to fears of contamination, cleanliness is the aims of the majority of compulsive activities. Checking which seeks to eliminate any doubt or anomaly the environment surrounding him or her. They disgusting with bacterial, anything has germ on it, their common action is cleaning. According to Osborn, this is filth of OCD’s category.
I enjoyed the connections between the readings about our god-likeness from Davis and the motivational image.
ReplyDeleteI especially liked the last one! Great example :)
I just wanted to add, that the "Charmin" bear is an excellent example of obsession defined by pop culture. We now know that, according to Osborn, if the bear was clinically OCD he would not find "so much joy" in the compulsion to keep clean.
