What was the biggest fictional evil character in the middle ages, demons {or one of many}. What was the next biggest fictional evil character, vampires. Now what is the biggest craze, zombies.
Make Deamons and Evil spirits viruses and batceria. Make vampires taxation. what does zombies represent?
It really shows a very interesting thing. We have evolved from war on nature, but it has not gone away. To warring on each other. A divided class system at that.
Human beings have for the longest time used fiction to portray an abstract or difficult idea. Only now it is interesting to note that the Zombie shows and movies have survivor characters that are similar to the leaders in society today, or well in a fundimental level. These survior characters also embody what has been classified as desireable and undesirable traits. Characters with desireable traits are given certain advantages and disavantages as are the characters without desirable traits.
What is interesting is that this is all known, its how writing is done, but with the studies done on Sesame Street it brings it to a whole new light.
I will say no more, but i would suggest reading about the studies done on learning from Seseame Street.
