Adults use reason to define good and evil,
Children perceive good and evil by nature.
Rationality and emotion, if they are completely opposites, how can they be broken?
This is of course not Jane Austen's two sisters with very different personalities. The whirlpool of reason and emotion exists in the mind of the eight-year-old boy Bruno.
Disclaimer in advance, this is a dark fairy tale.
An eight-year-old boy, Bruno, was born in a prominent German officer family. Due to the transfer of the army (his father is Professor Lupin Ben Lu), he and his parents came to the German countryside. A little boy who was short of playmates accidentally met a boy wearing vertical stripes. The boy in the pajamas, he didn't know at this moment, this boy belonged to the Jewish nation of the German military class... The German chief made up the lie to the international community that the concentration camps were prosperous and the Jews lived and worked in peace and contentment. As a son, Bruno believed this. He put on striped pajamas, climbed into the concentration camp, and helped the little Jewish boy find his missing father together. ......
As a teaching dog, I am most interested in the educational vision provided by this film. Education, a tool for maintaining class rule, is something that cannot be stated clearly in my great celestial dynasty. However, in the play, you can see one or two from the outsider's point of view.
Bruno, a boy born to a German nobleman, was told more than once that the old servant who helped peel potatoes at home was an evil Jew. Parents say so, governess says so, sister says so. He was dazedly afraid of the old man, and intuition that the old man was kind and amiable. His sense of smell, hearing, and vision were all sending a signal that the person in front of him was not a bad person, he was full of contradictions. Until one day, his knee was accidentally injured, and the servant was skilled in dressing it up. After in-depth contact, he realized that the old servant was a trainee doctor, and he respected him even more.
At the same time, the governess also enthusiastically imported Jewish evil ideas, and little Bruno with a keen nature asked "A nation's collapse is for Jewish race. How could it be?" (A nation's collapse is for Jewish race. How could it be? ?)
The elders in the family scoffed: "The Jew is not creative, but destructive. He is the enemy of our culture. Thousands of Germans have been made poor by the Jew." (Jews are not creative, they are destructive, they are us The enemy of the state, thousands of Germans are impoverished and impoverished because of the Jews.) As soon as I heard this, I felt that such a view was bizarre and quite unreliable, but the authorities were fascinated, and the German people applauded.
Suddenly remembered in "The Emperor's New Clothes", the naked and swaggering emperor, the people who open their eyes and talk nonsense, and the childish words of the little furry boy.
At the time I asked: "Why didn't the public tell the truth?"
S1: Because in the middle age, the civilians were poorly literate. They followed the emperor's commands without thinking a lot. (This is a great little kid with history)
S2: The social rule is telling the white lie. They believed whey they did was proper in that context. (This is a sane child)
Whether it is uncivilized or flattering, this is the rationality that meets the requirements of society, and the judgment brought by natural touch (here refers to the visual judgment) will be considered inappropriate. Here Andersen arranges children to complete it.
Education is the process of socializing a child, making him conform to social norms and convincing him of the values of those in power. Education is a process from sensibility to rationality, even if such rationality is untenable.
As the film tells us at the beginning
"Adults use reason to define good and evil, and children use their nature to perceive good and evil."
What you think is rational is actually the education that society needs to correct you.
then you,
is to choose a custom configuration,
Or the system default configuration?
