What literature tells about society?

What literature tells about society?

Litterature or so-called official writings is a very good tool for deciding the attitudes in society. If some publishings are prohibited or censored, that means that something is embarrassing about those texts or writings. There are two ways to make censorship. Another is the official censorship, which is made by authorities, and the other way is that the publishers just refuse the co-operation with writers, whose texts are not pleasing them or the people, who are behind those firms.

But the opposite or mirror-version of the censorship is the books and writings, what are marketed by strong volume. Strong or high-level marketing is telling that somebody, who has money wants that everybody should read those texts. And if the government shares some texts to its officials or quests, that means that in those texts is the agenda, what the government wants to represent for everybody.

That text might be the book, what is written by the leader of the state, what means that the book is offering the window to the mind of national leader, and how the top man wants to see things. And how that person arguments things like how that person became the candidate for the elections, and other cases that would bring the light to decision for staying in power over a couple of elections.

Those things are important when other governments are planning the strategies for that nation and the policy for other nations. If the writer has a strong influence on the internal politics of that nation the profile of that person is very important.

The literature, what is brought to markets by so-called official publishers is the window to the society. And the reason for that is that the writers who are selected by publishers are so-called leading persons in the cultural society and those people want always to be people, who have attitudes and opinions about many things like the environment and social problems. That kind of persons is really good examples, what the people think about some things.

If the books are telling stories about heroism and other important things like wars, that thing tells about growing national spirit. But when we are thinking about cases, where books are telling some kind of wild west hero or old-timer social influential person, that thing would tell that those publications have been changed for some reasons. When we are analyzing the attitudes of the person they are forming in the younghood.

The way how teachers are explaining things are forming the way, how people see things, and of course, people are always against war. When we are looking at things like movements against the Vietnam war, we must realize that there is a couple of things what we must remember. There is a small difference if people are against war, or if people are against the war or campaigns what are made by the USA, and other wars have no mean. This kind of things might be seen, how people are writing about things, what have been happened in the past.

The thing is that the writers, whose texts are published are representing people, who are being young at a certain time, and that means that their attitudes are forming in the certain time in the past. That's why literature is a good window in the things, what government wants people to see. Politicians must know what people are thinking about things like oversees relationships because this kind of things is becoming more and more important.

The published text is showing somehow the attitudes about people, who are leading the cultural things. And culture is one of the best ways to influence to so-called normal people opinions.  When we are thinking about the text, it can transfer feelings, what the living picture cannot transmit. By using text the feelings can transmit precisely. And when we are thinking the text itself, we must remember that the text itself is independent of the platform, where it is published. That's why we should separate Gutenberg from the text what is published.

Other civilizations and changing attitudes for things, what was self-evident in the past

Other civilizations and changing attitudes for things, what was self-evident in the past

When we are talking about things like other civilizations, we must go back to history and remember many TV-shows where the humanoids were some kind of joke. In that time there were no observations about other solar systems and in some popular scientific publications had the line that there would be no other solar systems and civilizations universe.

But as we know to develop the new type of telescopes what have new accuracy, there are observations about thousands of exoplanets. The last scientific news about the field of planet-hunting is the exoplanets, what are orbiting the Alpha Centauri, which makes possible that also double stars have planets. There are also remarkable observations about planets, what are orbiting stars, what is like the sun, but the observation of the multi-stellar system, what has planets are fascinating.

And when we are thinking about the forming of the planetary systems, we must realize that the brown dwarf can simply turn the planets to orbit it. In this kind of cases, the massive planet could have massive earth-size moons. But this is not writing about special cases, like planets that are orbiting the center star of the double-star system what members are far away from each other.

In that kind of cases, the planet could orbit between stars, and it might have life forms, what are active only a short period of the year of that planet. In this hypothetical case so-called open double-star systems where another member is in distance, what is the same, with a distance of Neptune, both stars might have own planetary system.

What if we would make contact with another civilization? Or rather saying, get signal from other civilization? First, we must understand that civilization could be very far away from us, and things like gravity lenses might focus that signal to our planet. That means that the signal would be visible only when the alien planet is in the right direction, which means that we could hear that signal only once.

So in those cases, we cannot even answer, if we want. And the second question is should we answer? If the aliens are hostile, we would be in big trouble. When we are facing another civilization, we must realize that the finding that thing would be the greatest scientific exploration, what we can think, and this kind of things are really difficult questions.

What we must do is to observe those signals, and then try to break their communications, and that thing is one of the most important things in the research. We should know exactly, who we would talk if we would someday answer. And before we would tell other people and the great audience about the aliens, we must say, that in that kind of cases, we would not need any kind of joke calls to those humanoids, or that thing could be really bad things.

So in this kind of things, we should hide the location of the star, where the signal has been coming. That would help the researchers to find out, what kind of thing is sending that message or signal. Here we must realize, that if the human race would someday receive the signal from another solar system, that would be the end of the era, that we would be only one intelligent civilization.

But the research of the possible extraterrestrial civilizations has been shown, how the attitudes are chancing also in the society, what is outside of the scientific community. The freedom of speaking about extraterrestrial civilization has been also symbolizing the changed attitudes, what science has been faced. There are many researches, which were not possible about ten to fifteen years ago, and one is the research about gender.

When I was young the gender was simply sex organs. That was enough, and until now we are faced that there are also other people than men and women, and that has been opened the eyes of the people, that the attitudes about the things, what were self-evidence are more complicated.

The problem is in attitudes

The problem is in attitudes

When people are creating new innovation and services, we have problems to transform into those services because we are used something all of our life. When we are talking about city bikes and another kind of things like electric cars, we are always facing resistance, because that thing needs some changes in our lifestyle or the way, how we have done something before.

If we are thinking about combination services, where a person uses electric cars in short distance traveling, and for longer trips, those cars would be loaded on the trains, and then they can drive in the destiny. The reason why we don't use that kind of things is simple, even if we could sit in our cars, and the car would move to trains automatically, we would resist that thing for one reason: we cannot go to the toilet during that trip.

Even we ever visited in the toilet on the trips, what is taking the same time with this train-car service, we would start to afraid that maybe we must visit in that place. This is one example, how people resist the change. Another version of the service, what is not ever mentioned is connecting the electric bikes to the bus and train tickets. That means the person would travel to destiny and then drive there using 3 wheels electric bike, but we would not get that service, because we are afraid that somebody steals those bikes.

The electric bikes are really interesting tools, but sometimes I think, that why people would not equip them with the GPS system. Those equipment are not really expensive, and the person can follow the location of the electric bikes by using own mobile telephone. And why we are not using electric cars is, that we think that they are uncomfortable.

We cannot go to the workplace by using the electric car and put the plug on the socket when we are going in the house, and that behave would load the battery. We can compare this thing at the beginning of cell phones. People believe that the batteries of the cell phones would run empty, and that's why they faced resistance. And now I must ask, how many times there have been lost power in the battery of cell phones? The question of the use of electric cars is similar.

We could make those cars cheaper and cleaner way to travel if we just put the wall plug on the socket. The thing is that the remote working at home is the ecological choice if it is used correctly. But the problem is that if we would spend those remote working days in bars, and would not our jobs, those things might get bad meaning in the point of view of the employers. And if those days are misused, the employers have the right to be disappointed.

The thing in those cases is only between the ears of the people. We are afraid of the changes. If we are thinking about subways, we are facing one question: why we cannot use those trains also for carrying the merchandise to the shops?

The reason is that nobody ever thought about that thing. When the subway is closed from the public for cleaning, the trains could carry merchandise to markets. In that time those trains could stand a long time in the stations, and that will give a chance to load the stuff to the platform without disturbing passengers. In those cases, there is only a need to absorb the new way to think.
