Laugh That Doesn’t Get Along With My Psych
Some people believes that mistakes made us learn a lesson. Along with the existence of mistakes, people will realize that their previous deeds are not in the right track. The right track itself has plenty of meanings, whether you are God believers means the right is what God says, or maybe you don’t believe in God but still has another meaning of right refers to socially accepted behavior.
Mistakes can be so awful or vice versa that it affects your psychological condition to a worse or better one. Will you be angry, frustrate, drown into sorrow, or forgive yourself instead? None will know unless they are in the condition. Mistakes is an unpredictable factor of distraction for our mind. So does what Netflix portrays in its series “Orange Is The New Black”.
I’ve heard this series couple months ago though the pilot aired on July 2013. The first rumor I heard from friends or others (I totally forgot) is that Orange Is The New Black (OITNB) is a lesbian themed series. Well I did some research to my gurus—Wikipedia and IMDB — that it wasn’t simply a cliche lesbian love romance. It turned out a comedy drama series about women prisoner. And, still I didn’t ring a bell.
Until a week ago, I found the series on my friend’s hard drive. Because I’m made of trial and current mood, so I just clicked the pilot episode. Unwittingly, I spent half first season in a marathon — about half day till my eyes were too tight to be awaken, too loose to fall asleep, worst way to open your dream realm.
What kept me awake for marathon is that it was just that different. My emotion is auto-stirred that I can’t feel what emotion should I feel at the moment. It was supposed to be comedy, which literally generated dopamine to make laugh, not unstated led to stressful sensation like what I felt that time.
I was and am a freak for psych related issue. I love enjoying stories involving human’s psychological condition, like emotions, psych disorder, disease, or simply any genre which has twistical psychological epilog. It makes me fascinated about how humans can be so fragile and stalwart concurrently. There was no exception when I watched OITNB. Like I said, I might be should laugh instead of silent in anger.
Prison has many reason to make it clearly an unpleasant and least wanted place you want to be in. Imagine yourself trapped in a big cage and maybe it is in the middle of town, where people do their regular activity happily. You think that you cannot share everything you feel inside prison to someone out there. People you meet everyday are co-inmates, warden, counselor, and prison’s head. Those are all. You may be get a visit at weekend, but with strict rules indeed.
The worst thing — that I get from this incredible series — is your co-inmates that in other word are your life partners inside are never can’t be a same people like yesterday. They are in the same circumstances that assume they have to survive inside. This series sure contains a lot of drama but in the other hand I still think whether it is the truth or just Netflix’ bluffing. I better go check to criminology’s student.
Oh hey I watched a trailer about prison-themed movie that will release in next couple months. It is The Stanford Prison Experiment. You better not to leave this behind because Ezra Miller is one of the lead — well you know how we are emotionally involved when he collaborated with Emma Watson and Logan Lerman in another psyched The Perks of Being Wallflower.
I don’t wanna make a spoil but I can’t resist myself to tell you a bit about it. So, The Stanford Prison Experiment was really happening back in 70's. Quoting from Wiki,
The Stanford Prison Experiment (SPE) was a study of the psychological effects of becoming a prisoner or prison guard. The experiment was conducted at Stanford University on August 14–20, 1971, by a team of researchers led by psychology professor Philip Zimbardo. It was funded by the U.S. Office of Naval Research and was of interest to both the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps as an investigation into the causes of conflict between military guards and prisoners. The experiment is a classic study on the psychology of imprisonment and is a topic covered in most introductory psychology textbooks.
Twenty-four male students were selected, from an initial pool of seventy-five, to adopt randomly assigned roles of prisoner and guard, in a mock prison, situated in the basement of the Stanford Psychology Department building, for a period of between seven and fourteen days. The participants adapted to their roles well beyond Zimbardo’s expectations, as the guards enforced authoritarian measures and ultimately subjected some of the prisoners to psychological torture. Many of the prisoners passively accepted psychological abuse and, at the request of the guards, readily harassed other prisoners who attempted to prevent it. The experiment even affected Zimbardo himself, who, in his role as thesuperintendent, permitted the abuse to continue. Two of the prisoners quit the experiment early, and the entire experiment was abruptly stopped after only six days, to an extent because of the objections of Christina Maslach. Certain portions of the experiment were filmed, and excerpts of footage are publicly available.
See the excitement? (Oh I was so psychopath-ed on that tone). Really, I have to put my shield on when I watch it. I won’t let you leave without giving the sneak peek.
