The name goes back to my days as a youth when I partied heavily. I was the one that tended to bogart the joints. So I just stuck with that name as it seemed to apply to other aspects of my personality and life even now. I tend to "bogart" presentations in classes, take up a lot of time with dialogue between myself and my professor, etc.
Forgotten your age era. Still studying. Looked Bogart in urban dictionary, new to me, thank you for adding to my slang vocabulary. Are you the cleverest/brightest/inquisitive pupil in your class, or you need extra help?
Agreed. It has never been about "media" or any other non-medical factor solving these issues. Call it religion, law, knowledge, society, culture or whatever you want. None of these have solved the cause of these issues. Many factors have helped promote the idea that these issues are not issues at all. Humanity is also good at just ignoring things that make us uncomfortable.
I mentioned wanting to look under dark stones, and on the underside of the stone, I am not good at ignoring things that make us uncomfortable, I want to lay them on the table for all to see. It is reminiscent of the rubbish brush under the carpet, it should be magnified, humanity would have itself explained to itself, if it did so.
Looking back I did make some errors in communication my thoughts. From reading your comments to Asbie I concluded that you didnt want an answer that included information that showed outlets had an impact on such scenarios. I thought Asbie present an answer with the Japan example. Such art could have a positive impact in the form of visual outlet. So I took your two scenarios as presented, two positions with limited information and data dumped myself. My initial answer was I thought such "art" would facilitate fantasies to become realities.
If you want me to look at the scenarios rationally you must allow me to include whatever data I possess or wish to research. If you want data dump and pick one you will have a gut reaction, or jumping to a conclusion, type of answer. I provided answers for both positions.
Often unorthodox solutions work best if other solutions fail as resolving issues. We have seen solutions such as law from draconian to complete acceptance fail repeatedly. Also you have to consider the fact that these issues are not always seen as issues in every society or were issues that the entire population were effected by. These solution may not be the best answers but could be more satisfactory than other solutions.
We are talking about art as the primary factor not actually acts. Please do not equate the two in the middle of the discussion.
I like people who admit they were wrong (albeit on a technical point) but that is all I got. Bogart chief, I think I need to do a degree to understand this, analyse/infer and conclude. I am street philosopher lol.
Of course these different influences will have an impact on the "people" in any example. However that does not mean we should not consider Japan's "solution" in our own societies. We no longer live in a state of isolation be it cultural, regional or population based. Be it Japanese and Swedish culture neither is static. Each is reinventing and adapting it's culture with each new generation.
culture/smulture, it is all biology, culture just changes the manifestations. I don't know the words/terms, sometimes I find that there is a word that describes a 'theory', I say good, cos I am on the sirat-e-mustaqeem and doing your own thinking/without books is scary but worth it. Maybe Bogart you can explain free will is an illusion, but judging by half your post, I suggest as addressed to a twelve year old.
Anyways culture/underlying biology - similar to smoking - yellow teeth and lung cancer - cause and correlation, I have to hurry, jummah prayers and I have to leave summat for 3 to make her lol.
