Joseph Campbell’s “Monomyth” with his book the hero with thousand faces

Every story has a beginning, a middle and an end. In the beginning we will setup the hero (or heroine) and his story, then we throw something at him that is a great source of conflict and takes him into a trouble. After facing many problem and overcoming various difficult, the hero saves the day and wins the girl. 

Joseph Campbell is an american psychologist and mythological researcher. He found the heroic monomyth describes the common stages of a hero's journey found that can found in many stories. Joseph Campbell has his first described the monomyth in 1949 with his book name "The Hero with a Thousand Faces". However the nature of monomyth may not be appealing to everyone, it is very interesting to who actually taking time to learn about monomyth and how it applies to stories and movies in the modern world now. Here have some example that popular movies, stories, and comics such as the Star Wars, and the Lord of the Rings. The protagonists in these movies always go through the same stages: Departure, Initiation, and Return.

There are 3 major stages on the hero's journey:

Stage 1: Departure

Call to adventure: It often refers how that the hero the receive the call to adventure. 
Refusal of the call: It refers to the hero whether he accept the call immediately or do not. Normally, the hero will be rejected as first because of some negative emotions such as fear, hesitation, sense of obligation and others possible reason due to his current situation.
Supernatural aid: It refers to who (the mentor and companion) or what (the talisman) will support and motivate the heroes as the hero travels on his journey and the reason about the support showed up.

Crossing the First Threshold:  The threshold refers to the obstacle when the hero ready to cross over from his familiar world (his home) to the unfamiliar territory. The obstacle (the threshold) will be guarded by a gatekeeper which will prevent the hero to cross over unless he defeats it.

Belly of the whale: This is the part shows as the hero crossed over the threshod, he will find himself in a whole new and darkness world where he will only find himself alone. From that, that is the time he shows his willingness to accept his fate and find a purpose to live and move on, eventually become a whole new person.

Stage 2: Initiation

 Road of Trials: This the part where the hero will face a lot of challenges and tests. Once or twice of failures will be occur in their challenge which will result in third times in order to succeed their tests.

The meeting with Goddess: It is the part where the hero will meet some  one with special character of beauty and power who will help him realize what is award will be waiting for him when he completed the quest.

Woman as Temptress: It refers to the temptation that will face by the hero which is lead to the failure or abandonment of his quest.

Atonement with the Father: Where the heroes encounter someone or something with incredible power

Apotheosis: Where the hero becomes selfless when he realize the true purpose of his life

The ultimate Boon: When the hero wish to share his new knowledge that acquired from apotheosis. Usually, the knowledge refers to immortality.

Stage 3: Return

Refusal of the Return:  After the hero has done his quest, he may stay in new world and not back to the place he began the journey. The hero believes that what the hero has learned on his journey in old world won’t accept and understand it.

The Magic Flight:  The hero may rather decide to return home after finishing his quest. He was accompanied by a protector who helps him to overcome the obstacles the hero might face as he returns home.

Rescue from Without: When on the way to return journey, the hero may must have powerful guides and rescuers to bring them back to everyday life from death and a state of helplessness and bliss.

Crossing of the Return Threshold: When the hero travel back to his home on his journey, the hero may cross again the return threshold and fight another gatekeeper to separating his home and the new world. 

Master of Two Worlds: After the hero had cross over the threshold, he had released that nothing change in his life. His home and the new world didn't separated. Now, he understand the differences and the balance of safety between his home and the new world. Through this understanding , he has balanced his mind and character.

Freedom to Live: Now the journey had completed, the hero has understanding about himself and he can stay freedom to live in his home and new world.

Caril Jung's Theory of archetypes
Archetypes=An archetype dereived from the Latin noun archetypum meaning first-moulded,beginning,origin is a symbollic term which refers to pattern of behaviour,or a prototype upon which others copied.Archetypes are often used in myth,legends and story telling.In psychology 
an archetype refers to a model of a persons behaviour.In term of analyzing a persons personality theres three types which archetypes are broadly referred to namedly stereotype,an epitome or a literary term to express details.The archetype also refers to a original version of a personality for example a mother figure may be considered as an archetype and can be indentified and recognizable the pattern of behaviour in various characters.The origins of the archetypal hypothesis date back as far as Plato. Jung himself compared archetypes to Platonic ideas. Plato's ideas were pure mental forms that were imprinted in the soul before it was born into the world. They were collective in the sense that they embodied the fundamental characteristics of a thing rather than its specific peculiarities.
The Platonist Jewish philosopher Philo of Alexandria used the term to describe the Imago Dei, and the Gallic Christian theologian Irenaeus of Lyons used the term to describe the act of Creation.


How does the the shift from a hunter-gathering economy to an agricultural change human society?
- Beginning around 8000 B.C.E., there are many human cultures became increasingly dependent on cultivated crops and domesticated animals to secure their supply of food. By 7000 B.C.E. sedentary agriculture was able to support towns such as Jericho and Catal Huyuk with populations of more than 1,000. While no one knows for certain what conditions caused the shift from hunting and gathering to sedentary agriculture, changes in the climate may have been significant factors. The settled societies, on the other hand, enjoyed much larger populations. Raising livestock in large numbers and harvesting large amounts of plants enabled them to obtain vastly greater nourishment than the foragers and hunter-gatherers, and thus they become more populous.


what does it mean about daily life?

From the internet definition, daily life means all the things that happen or that you do regularly. In research shows that daily life involved family, health, education and economy.
For me, daily life is the things you do everyday. Different people does different thing in their daily life. For adults, their daily life will be working to earn their living and expenses; for students will be go to school everyday; one thing we human share in common in what we do in our daily life is we eat, drink and do business. 


And how does that show up in the representative technologies employed by the two group?

For the hunter gatherer economy, hunting societies were so successful that they managed to drive many prey species to extinction using only stone spears as weapons. Now a day, Hunter-gatherer societies still survive in isolated regions of the earth inhabited by tribal peoples. These people often live in forest regions that are rich in game and forageable foods.
For the agricultural, it takes a lot of work to prepare the soil for planting and tend crops. Along with the extra work comes a surplus of food that can provide for larger populations. Cities developed which relied on the growing of various foods to supply them with energy. Agricultural societies were some of the first to employ slaves to do the backbreaking work of planting and harvesting. While, modern society does not rely on slave labor. People have become intelligent enough to devise machines to do the hard labor of plowing and planting. Our machines run on energy derived from petroleum, coal, nuclear, or hydro power. And we need the power of machines to plant and harvest our crops.We also live in building with water supplies by pumps and convenient facilities.


And what would be the difference we might expect in the shelter where people live?
A hunter-gatherer or forager society is one in which most or all food is obtained from wild plants and animals, in contrast to agricultural societies which rely mainly on domesticated species. For the viewed in the proper time frame, the transition to agriculture was dramatic in term of the large number of people and the relatively short time period involved, as well as the enormous accompanying changes in the way people lived their lives. Slightly more than 10,000 years, the transition to agriculture began, and by 2,000 years the vast majority of people depended on agriculture as their main form of subsistences. So for hunter gather, it was traditionally identified by their tools: bow and arrow, atlatl, harpoon and projectile points. Even after agriculture became a major source of food, hunting and gathering of wild plants remained a large component of people's diets. People who tend stands of natural plants are called horticulturalists; those who farm are agriculturalists. Up until about fifty years ago, there were a few modern hunter-gatherer societies in the world today, such as the Ainu; however, they have pretty much all been made part of the modern market economy by way of the intrusion of plastics or clothing or metal which can only be retrieved from outside sources.
For agriculture,it also called farming or husbandry is the cultivation of animals, plants, fungi, and other life forms for food, fiber, and other products used to sustain life. Agriculture was the key development in the rise of sedentary human civilization, whereby farming of domesticated species created food surpluses that nurtured the development of civilization. The study of agriculture is known as agricultural science. Agriculture generally speaking refers to human activities, although it is also observed in certain species of ant and termite.


What other aspect of culture would we expect?
Resource and economics are the other aspects of culture we would expect. During agricultural change society, humans start to live in a place for permanently. Humans start to form a community and after that, society. Not like hunter gathering economy, agricultural change society will have more stable food supply as they raise their own livestock. The resource of food gradually come from their own and not from hunting. For those who produce more food or other resources, they started a trading system called barter system. The person get something that he or she wanted by trading something that the opposite trader wanted. Since then, humans started to produce more thing for others' need so that they could trade for something that they wanted.

How would it be represented in their beliefs?
For hunter-gather society, they will beliefs more in soul and ghosts but agricultural may not. Agriculture will beliefs that farming spirits or soul and weather that  are to get more ideas for the concepts of food production and the essential spirit that nature of humanity are linked. Weather can help agriculture to improve farming get well.

HOA_Group Definition_Beautiful/Ugly

The Most Beautiful Thing


In out opinion,we agreed that when love becomes unconditional and one can cast away their selfishness for another, it is the most beautiful thing in the world. We were actually inspired by a meaningful picture of an old man carrying a much older woman whom we assume to be the old man's mother and he was carrying her from one place to another. From the first impression of the picture,we can feel the unshakable spirit from the old man even though her mother had aged considerably and unable to move, he does not abandon her and is willing to bear the burden of carrying her around. However, when we tried to have a better understanding of the picture, it seems so sad and regretful that this kind of love back in the reality is a rare scene nowadays either because of the society is getting more selfish and inhumane or there is not much love in a family after all. The value of family love has been descending over the years, people are no longer interested in appreciation of little things that could bring a big difference towards their surroundings and they even start to take others' kindness for granted. As a result, the appreciation of love itself is starting to fade away. Eventually, through these mix feelings that we have felt from the picture,we think it perfectly makes sense that unconditional and selfless love from this picture is the most beautiful thing for us because of the beauty and rareness of it in our current society.

The Ugliest Thing


In our opinion, we agreed that war is the ugliest thing to us. The inspiration actually comes from a picture where tons of dead bodies were scattered around the street during the outbreak of war.War has always been portrayed as an incident where lots of lives were lost. Griefs, revenge, and sadness in those innocents have been plaguing some countries for a very long term. Because of greed and selfishness, people constantly suffer from diseases that brought by consequences and side effects of the war. Some people were even traumatized with people dying right in front of them or been blown to pieces. Moreover, the unbearable pain has lasted for decades in some countries. Eventually, because of human stupidity, the innocents have to bear with the endless effects of the war. Hence, the ugliest thing in the world would be the war.

What is History?

As seen in the word itself, History is a combination of the words 'His' and 'Story'. In other words, History is the story created and told by men. It refers to the study of past events- from the very personal human affairs such as relationships to the biggest historical records, such as World War I & II. It is chronological event that records the development of human civilization, to be studied and learned by generations through books, artifacts etc. History teaches us not to repeat the same mistakes done by our ancestors in the old time and it functions as a fundamental element of modern world’s civilization. Without the presence of History, there would have not been evolution both physically and psychologically in human civilization.

What is Art?

Art is the expression or application of the artists’ creative skills and imagination, typically in visual forms such as sculpture, to the audiences. It is a controversial topic because there might not be a proper definition of Art, as there are a lot of spaces yet to be explored and discovered, and people often have various points of view about the artwork they see.

What is Design?

Differs from the Art, Design is a strategic approach to draft and decide upon the look and function of the plan to achieve a certain result. It is the realization of idea and turning the idea into physical form such as model and pattern.

What do you want from this course?

I want to come across with the stories of Art development during the Renaissance time. Renaissance is the revival of art and literature in between the 14^th and 16^th centuries. It is the most important historical record of Art and I am sure I will benefit much learning about it. Furthermore, I want getting to know about the artists from that era.

What do you want to be doing in 5 years? 10 years? 20 years?

In 5 years, I want to get a designer job after accomplishing my bachelor courses. It may sound way too easy but that is just the starting point of my life- to live independently and chase after my dream of being a designer.

In 10 years, I will want to be among the world’s popular designers and get married if possible. I will be at my 30’s and this moment should be the right time to build a family with someone I love- as my future spouse and I will be both financially stable to raise up our kids.

In 20 years, I will be at my 40’s (chuckle). Well, it may sound ridiculous but by that time, I will want to have traveled around the world with my future husband. Traveling is always my passion- it helps me to widen my vision about the world and explore my inner self. Besides, I have always liked to learn more about other culture.

What do you hope to get from this particular class?

I hope to learn as much as possible about the World History. With the past experience I had in the secondary school, insufficient materials were given and the majority of the syllabus was focused on Malaysian History. Not to mention, Islamic History covered most of the History syllabus during my secondary school life. I found out I did not learn much about the World History, especially about the Ancient Greek and Roman Empires.

Is history of art and design necessary do you think for your larger goals?

Yes, it is. Like I have mentioned earlier, without History, we wouldn’t have come this far to the present civilization. History is important for us to get to know more about the past and it gives us a new better concept about the world. It will definitely aid me in my future designer career as having background knowledge about the History of Art would make me stand out from the others. Besides, with that background knowledge, I will be able to apply it into my artwork with higher aesthetic values.

Image of the most beautiful things for you, state your reasons.

As I mentioned earlier, I am passionate to study about other culture in the world. Every country in this world has its own unique identity- based on the culture itself. People from various nations speak different languages and each of them has its own lifestyle. It is the culture that distinguishes people and that is what I am always fancy about.

Image of most ugly thing for you, state your reasons.

Racism is pathetic and unfair prejudice and stereotype based on skin colors. It is one of the ugliest things for me because it is simply a discrimination based on beliefs. Often, people get unequal treatment given that their skin colors are different than the majority.

What is history?

Where did the word "history" originate from? History comes from a greek word meaning "what is known by     asking". The job of a historian is to ask questions and makes sense of a answer. The greeks were among the first people to write history based on first-hand reporting of the facts. Herodotus(who died in 425BCE)  wrote about the wars between the greeks and the persians. He travelled and talked to people who had taken part in the wars.

What is art?

The word "art" originally come from latin word "ars", which essentially means "arragement" or "to arrange". There is other tall tail behind the etymology of the word "art" came from the nickname of cavemen who invented it, Arthurous Glumphus, but the cavemen couldn't say his name so they called it art.

What is design?

For the word "design", it is originally derived from the latin word "signum", which means sign, and it is shares the same ancient root. Thus, design means "de-sign".

What do you want from this course?

I willing to learn more about art and design through the history of art, it might helping to improve my artwork quality wherever in study or working on future.

What do you want to be doing in 5 years? 10 years? 20 years?

For 5 years later, I will graduate from UTAR and hopefully can become a graphic designer or photographer. After 10 years, I wish that i could run my own art studio and of course get married with my lovers one. After 20 years, I'm to become a famous graphic designer among universe. Haha...

What do you hope to get from this particular class?

I hope can improve my ideas and technics for working on my artwork.

Is history of art and design necessary do you think for your larger goals?

Yes, I think it is necessary for me because learning everything need to start from the origin, so we could learn mistakes from the past.

Image of the most beautiful things for you, state your reason.

The image of the pupa is the most beautiful image for me because it is meaning hope and intent someone will rebirth and getting start a new journey for itself.

Image of the most ugly things for you, state your reason.

For me, the most ugly image is animal abuse image. It shows violence and inhuman ways that the human treat an animal. People hate animal abuse.

What is art?

Art has various types of meaning. The earliest meaning is from Latin word, which defines art as "craft" or "skill". For instance, the word "artifact" is from Latin phrase "arte (by skill) facere (ablative of ars ("art") + factum ("thing made") ).According to The Encyclopedia Britannica Online, art defines as "the use of skill and imagination in the creation of aesthetic objects, environments, or experiences that can be shared with others". From the definition above, art can be looked back as earliest as the pre-history art such as the rocking crafting, cave painting and others.However, nowadays, the word "art" can describe and define into a few meanings which depend on people's perspective. Art can be viewed as the knowledge of specific talent. It also can be a piece that can attract peoples emotions and senses. For example, the nudity of human is a kind of art.

What is history?

History is any knowledge and information about the pass after peoples started to invent writing and record things. There are different types of pass events counted as history. For example, the record of natural disaster, an interesting incident, and even the medical record of patients counted as history. During Middle English, the word was known as narrative of an incident which mean "story". However, in some countries such as German and French, the word is still used to indicate both meaning which are "story" and "history" due to the influence of synthetic language.

What is design?

The meaning of "design" is still remain uncertain and does not have a closure until now. There are too much different kind of explanation in the world, some of them are frankly rigid and empty in a formal way. For example, according to Dick Buchanan, "Design is the human power to conceive, plan, and realize products that serve human beings in the accomplishment of any individual or collective purpose. But in this world, the goal of design is more than accomplishment and collective purpose, sometimes, peoples design for their own sake or their own happiness. A lousy and boring design may meant nothing and no valuable to the world, but it does not mean that it is not a design.

What do you want from this course?

Hopefully, I can learn and understand more about art and design that will help me to produce better quality arts when I design and do any artwork in the future. Last but not least, of course I hope that I can make tons of money from this course when I used it to find a career (dream on, I know).

What do you want to be doing in 5 years? 10 years? 20 years?

Honestly, in my imagination, 5 years later, I will be graduated and continue to study the advance level of art related studies (If I'm that rich and capable enough to do that, which is not). 10 years later, hopefully I already have a steady job that will support me and my parents financially. Marriage? Not a big fan and do not intend to rush for it, fate will arrange for me. Lastly, 20 years later, positively I will have enough money to travel the world to explore and enjoy every single place on the Earth. That is just stupid if you do not wish for this.Marriage? If I lucky to have one then yea for me, if not still have to move on.

What do you hope to get from this particular class?

I hope that I can know better about the background arts and designs and definitely can get a better grade on this class.

Is history of art and design necessary do you think for your larger goals?

Yes, I think that is needed for me to study it because in order to produce a good artwork and design, we always have to understand the art and design in the past. Is just like we have to master the rules of design and art before we break the rules. It is essential for my larger goals as well, which is a good designer.

Image of the most beautiful thing for you, state your reason.

This is one of my favorite "stolen moment" photography. It is the most beautiful thing for me because it shows the simplest thing when I look at it, where you feel that it is so sincere and simple. It is just like an unconscious moment or our life.

Image of the most ugly thing for you,state you reason.

This is the ugliest thing for me because I just hate it when I look at it. A big NO whenever peoples say it out loud. Apologize for failing to give a better reason to describe it.

To me art is a form of design. An art can be as simple as drawing a dot on a piece of paper. It could be creative at the same time it could be mysterious also. We can express out feeling and emotions through art.

Image of most ugly thing for you, state your reasons.

The most ugly thing for me is none other that COCKROACHES. They are annoying and disgusting, always appeared out from no where and runs around you and disturb you. I don't understand why God will create such a horrible creature in this world, I wish all of it will disappear for no reason.
