A great example of the contrasting views of the ethical stage and the aesthetic stage is the movie Star Trek. In the movie, Captain Kurk plays by a set of his own rules. He very rarey follows the correct procedures that he is supposed to take and just does whatever he pleases to get the job done. Although he does not follow what he is supposed to do, he is Star Fleet's greatest Captain that they have ever had. He operates aesthetically, but his results benefit everyone.
Spock on the other hand is one of Star Fleet's greatest thinkers of all time. He always follows the rules (in fact, he created most of the rules) and enforces others to use them as well. He believes that if everyone follows the rules and procedures, Star Fleet is unstoppable. Spock operates on more of an ethical level, and gets good results, just as Captain Kurk does.
Love Spock. 10/10. Would read again.
ReplyDeleteLove Chris Pine so freaking much. I heart your blog so much. Captivating.
ReplyDeleteI really liked these examples you picked cause no one would've thought of Spock and Kurk. Good job!
ReplyDeleteNice examples. Good job!
ReplyDeleteNot a big fan of the example because I don't really like Star Trek. But the content is fine when I look past my disdain for Star Trek. 7/10.
