Stephen King writes about how humans are all insane. The class interpreted this as all humans have a dark spot in their head, and malicious thoughts. We questioned if this should be illegal or not, but concluded that it is not forbidden to have these thoughts. It is when you act out these gruesome ideas you should be jailed. Fear and excitement both give you this additive adrenaline, so fear can feel just like excitement. That is one reason people love scary things. ]]> 2020-11-10 13:25:53 UTC https://padlet.com/cclements9/4z3qpvsp2b8cn7d3/wish/908329337 https://padlet.com/cclements9/4z3qpvsp2b8cn7d3/wish/908356961 As a class, we didn't dig too deep into Stephen King's idea of fear having its own personality. Fear is a controlling, overwhelming feeling that takes over you. This emotion, for example in Disney's movie Inside Out, slams buttons in your head and sets off alarms. ]]> 2020-11-10 13:33:13 UTC https://padlet.com/cclements9/4z3qpvsp2b8cn7d3/wish/908356961 https://padlet.com/cclements9/4z3qpvsp2b8cn7d3/wish/908407269 The idea that most people can have "violent" thoughts or thoughts that come from places of anger, I believe was discussed completely and in full during the seminar. We discussed how we are not considered "insane" unless we act on these thoughts, but that none the less many people tend to have them. We discussed how while most people have thoughts out of anger, these thoughts are not normalized in society, but rather shunned and forced to be kept down. ]]> 2020-11-10 13:44:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cclements9/4z3qpvsp2b8cn7d3/wish/908407269 https://padlet.com/cclements9/4z3qpvsp2b8cn7d3/wish/908421762 Something that was discussed completely was the emotions that we feel when watching horror movies, and how it translates into the real world in many different ways.]]> 2020-11-10 13:48:10 UTC https://padlet.com/cclements9/4z3qpvsp2b8cn7d3/wish/908421762 https://padlet.com/cclements9/4z3qpvsp2b8cn7d3/wish/908423025 The class agreed on and discussed about how all humans have a sinister side. Since we are all insane, we are all similar, but everyone is insane at different levels. What people think does not matter, but how they act on their insanity driven desires does. Horror movies are one a a few things that serve as a type of outlet for people to satisfy their "dark side's" desires.]]> 2020-11-10 13:48:29 UTC https://padlet.com/cclements9/4z3qpvsp2b8cn7d3/wish/908423025 https://padlet.com/cclements9/4z3qpvsp2b8cn7d3/wish/908431218 2020-11-10 13:50:16 UTC https://padlet.com/cclements9/4z3qpvsp2b8cn7d3/wish/908431218 afeinberg98 https://padlet.com/cclements9/4z3qpvsp2b8cn7d3/wish/908432724 2020-11-10 13:50:38 UTC https://padlet.com/cclements9/4z3qpvsp2b8cn7d3/wish/908432724 https://padlet.com/cclements9/4z3qpvsp2b8cn7d3/wish/908433298 Group 1 did not discuss much about what could cause a person's desire for the feeling of fear to increase, or if the different "levels" of insanity correlated with this desire directly. We did not talk a lot about if someone's insanity could increase due to their past, and if so, how drastically.]]> 2020-11-10 13:50:45 UTC https://padlet.com/cclements9/4z3qpvsp2b8cn7d3/wish/908433298 ebishop37 https://padlet.com/cclements9/4z3qpvsp2b8cn7d3/wish/908436659 In the 'inner circle', we discussed how fear could be correlated with insanity. Stephen King's idea that we were all insane was a big part of the conversation. We talked about how, as humans, we wanted to test fear, and sometimes crave the adrenaline that it gives. We also talked about horror movies and how they could be the food that satiates humans darkest desires. We also touched on, if horror movies were able to quench that taste and prohibited further action.]]> 2020-11-10 13:51:28 UTC https://padlet.com/cclements9/4z3qpvsp2b8cn7d3/wish/908436659 https://padlet.com/cclements9/4z3qpvsp2b8cn7d3/wish/908436699 Part of the article that I believe was not addressed in full, was why our inner "insanity" causes us to crave and have a want to watch horror films. We discussed why horror films, are daring the nightmare and that we watch them to almost prove something about ourselves. However, I believe that we didn't fully delve into the idea of how the "insanity" in all of us that Stephen King speaks about, is correlated and connected to horror films. ]]> 2020-11-10 13:51:29 UTC https://padlet.com/cclements9/4z3qpvsp2b8cn7d3/wish/908436699 ncastro61 https://padlet.com/cclements9/4z3qpvsp2b8cn7d3/wish/908437109 2020-11-10 13:51:35 UTC https://padlet.com/cclements9/4z3qpvsp2b8cn7d3/wish/908437109 https://padlet.com/cclements9/4z3qpvsp2b8cn7d3/wish/908437462 Although we touched on it for a little bit, we did not really dive in on the actual, in-depth meaning of fear and how it builds up in someone's mind.]]> 2020-11-10 13:51:40 UTC https://padlet.com/cclements9/4z3qpvsp2b8cn7d3/wish/908437462 https://padlet.com/cclements9/4z3qpvsp2b8cn7d3/wish/908439945 I feel like the first group dove really deep into the article and answered a lot of questions, but one thing that they didn't answer was how insanity effects you, weather its positively, or negatively. ]]> 2020-11-10 13:52:13 UTC https://padlet.com/cclements9/4z3qpvsp2b8cn7d3/wish/908439945 https://padlet.com/cclements9/4z3qpvsp2b8cn7d3/wish/908439996 The first group (inner circle) discussed whether it is normal or not for people to have dark thoughts that they would never act on. Considering that its common for people to have those thoughts, the argument was made that it should be normalized and not seen as ill-minded because most people have those sort of thoughts. ]]> 2020-11-10 13:52:14 UTC https://padlet.com/cclements9/4z3qpvsp2b8cn7d3/wish/908439996 https://padlet.com/cclements9/4z3qpvsp2b8cn7d3/wish/908441109 2020-11-10 13:52:30 UTC https://padlet.com/cclements9/4z3qpvsp2b8cn7d3/wish/908441109 https://padlet.com/cclements9/4z3qpvsp2b8cn7d3/wish/908445115 As a class we discussed the layers to the human mind and the idea that all humans are touched by insanity in different ways.

Many people from the first group, like Stephen King, said that everyone is a little insane, which lead to the question of it being normalized. Others then said that it's not the fact that everyone thinks of these things occasionally, it's more of, if everyone acted on it, then it wouldn't be something to normalize. ]]> 2020-11-10 13:54:01 UTC https://padlet.com/cclements9/4z3qpvsp2b8cn7d3/wish/908447914 pkolar73 https://padlet.com/cclements9/4z3qpvsp2b8cn7d3/wish/908452031 Parts of the article not completely addressed were what causes people to feel this need for fear or adrenaline. ]]> 2020-11-10 13:54:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cclements9/4z3qpvsp2b8cn7d3/wish/908452031 https://padlet.com/cclements9/4z3qpvsp2b8cn7d3/wish/908456495 We did not have much time to discuss this topic further with the class.
