WOULD QUESTIONING: “IS SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST” FITTED STILL?

Lately, I’ve been watched an interesting view on tv program. Shows the most conflictual, rough-taught, hypocrisy scene but fun still. The kind of Reality show, like non-talented game show isolates 18 people in a house without any communication device for 100 days. What they have to do is just stay, and become the last to survive so they can win a million rupiahs resident. The 18 finalist comes from different background, but one thing they all had in common was ambition. I’m not saying it’s bad. In fact it does make things better to watch.

Every week there will be one participant extradited, Decide by the boss and/or the key master. Both privileges of boss and key master given to the top 3 Rank decided by sms pool. They had to win the game to become boss or key master. What’s the good? Well if you one of them you’ll be save until the next week. Boss’s privilege is that he/she can save one of the three bottom candidates. And key master’s job is send one of the rest back home. The decision of boss and key master was very subjective, based on like or dislike and their own perception of threat potential (that’s the interesting part).

In order to survive they had to play strategy in there. From coalition, provoking, deceiving, dividing, everything it takes. They play character, all is shockingly creates dynamics in that house. But the character of arrogant always dominates, proved by 2 straight week become a boss, and 3 times key master. I’m talking about one of the arrogant candidates which over glorifying his ability to win every single game, and believe in his own determination and power to conquer all the challenge. He claims himself as the puppet master, controlled all the candidates and creates conflict in the house. When he wasn’t the boss, he always criticized the work performance of other and compares with his (which he claimed as flawless). That’s what the strategy about, to intimidate your rivals. The point is show your rival is bad even worst, than you appear as the best one.

Bottom line is, this tv shows recall me on the quotes of survival of the fittest. What the mean of this quote that I used to understand simply, be the strongest then you’ll survive. Excellent description law of jungle, perfect picture of uncivilized reality played by self-claims civilized creature. Yes, my tentative contextual comprehension upon the concept of survival of the fittest was: Eat or be eaten. I realized that it is also approved traditionally by majority. Just ask every one what they know about it, then they’ll describe how natural law reveal its secrets, about life chain, food pyramid, how the strong one will be on top of the pyramid, weak one dead first and become the lunch.

Now, the TV program show me more than what it comes at the surface, its not only about the strongest, because I found another paradox. I can’t figure how the weakest candidates, who always be in the bottom three every week still survive until now. He has no potential, no special thing to be proud of. He’s not the strongest, or the smartest. Always in the lowest position, but also escape from extradition. Even though he is lucky enough to be saved few time, My rational sense refused to believe in luck as much in that portion. Finally i came up with other alternative answer: he can fit in…! That’s what it is. He can adjust, adapt. And fit in where ever. And to be fit doesn’t necessary need the strength.
So about the question is it fitted still? Well literally it is, textually, if we put the comprehension back on its literal mean. “fit” …

THW CONDEMN AUTHORITARIAN MENTOR

This semester, I work on my thesis about the economy reform affect the democratization in Vietnam. By chance, I got this mentor. He’s basically cool with any adjustment, open with my idea, Great sparring partner, very helpful. But recently he’s being difficult, as result my work end up in postponed. watta pain in the butt.
Now, here I am try to spend my quality spare time by doing something useful. Do another research sounds blast. So I decided to explain the phenomenon of unbelievable behavior which you can only found in Vietnam Communist Party pre doi-moi and China government, (magically I found it now in my case). I will use micro approach to examine behavior of the individual (named authority) and how the decision reflected by his behavior affect the system (internationally approved: AUTHORITARIAN sob).
The introduction or chapter one will be:

a.background
Assume we faced the classic problem of dictatorship, packed in this several phrase: “no room for compromise”. “Do as what I said”, “take it or leave it”, or sarcastic quote: “I didn’t know that I have to adjust with your schedule (lit: it’s up to me!!)”, or this quote according to my friend’s horrible tragedy “I know you don’t like me, but what can you do, I am the only master in this subject (end with evil grin)”. This phrase or quotes from these unbelievable people caused by (assume) post traumatic disorder.

b.research question
1.What did I do?
2.How come??
3.What the fuck is wrong with you?? (pardon my French)


c.Research method
I’d love to use explanatory, mingle with unbelievable person who has unbelievable rapid mood of change per second plus sensitive floating rate. Which I cluster them as rollercoaster people with the fact after you round in one full circle, you will throw up. I also use behavioral approach in individual level of analysis to explain it, with indicator of idiosyncratic, history of personal track, medical record, possibility of psychological disorder, sexual preference cross examination, genetic transmits disability (What am I talking about??). etc. I will use a comparative model to see behavior of this individual with states behavior (China) or in simple model I will explain how the individual arrogance, will be so badly affected to the social system, Compare with China’s attitude and how it affected international and my system as well (I think I got a hole in my head)

d.Hypothesis
Rapid mood of change based on hormonal sensitivity and dementedly arrogance like a bull in china shop ensued fatal in personal, social, and academic relation.

e.theory and concept
I interested with Johny Cash theory, “its better be loved than be feared” although it’s totally backlash with Folsom Prisons philosophy, “its better be feared than be bitched around”. I personally agree in first one, I mean, who knows tomorrow never come? Isn’t it great when the last minute of your live you know that people love you? (I heard funeral back sound). If you argue back, what if it still comes? Hack, It still great!!! You can’t deny how happy Nelson Mandela is, even he’s lock somewhere in Robben island, you can still see his happy face behind bars. That’s because he know that people love him. So arrogance is work outside Folsom prison, mate.
I also inspired by professor A Winehouse and Dr. K. Perry’s thought which considered as a break trough, the most visional intellectual invention in psychology studies and social science development. Winehouse brightly see the individual who appear as arrogant basically projecting his anger out in order to release the inner pain caused by misfortune event, root in his subconscious and accumulated as trauma. This individual, according to Winehouse need a serious care or rehabilitation, because there is a potential harm to other people. For instant, this people might perform further action of thesis postpone, (it’s a serious problem, don’t underestimate it). While Winehouse did a great job in psycho studies, a socialist (I mean social expert) Dr. K Perry see the phenomenon of society in urban era, which most of people, (differenced by gender) shows that -focus object on male gender- tend to be more arrogant when they are interact with their opposite kind. The arrogance they show mere as a disguise of clueless thought. Sometimes they show the arrogance to cover their rational disability to say what they want. That describe the example of how individual act sometimes hot sometimes cold, in out, one second up, another second down.

In this part I’m very please to let you conclude anything you like..
