Azure: My argument hasn't changed.

I spent two years of A-Level Psychology constantly referring back to the Milgram experiment. The object of the experiment was to determine obedience to authority, and bear in mind that this took place in the early 1960s. Subsequent studies done more recently with variables changed (such as the location- no longer in a lab; the appearance of the experimentor- not in a lab coat that denotes authority but in regular clothes instead) have produced varied results. It's actual relevence now isn't as high as everyone makes it out to be and it's not the be all and end all of anything, despite the evidence it puts across.

The choices you make and your own personality aren't mutually exclusive. People broke down during that experiment because they were being forced to do what they didn't want to. While not being able to make a choice and being convinced that they were causing serious harm to someone else they became severely discomforted, which is evidence that they retained their personality even whan making a choice that was not theirs.

You have to remember with this experiment there are so many factors influencing the outcome of the results that it's almost impossible to outline one element without having to draw on everything else. You're still trying to oversimplify things.

The awareness of a choice doesn't make people more or less themselves- if anything it would promote them to act more as themselves because they won't go against instinct without a prompt.

"You can't have it both ways. ^^; Either you can choose to behave otherwise (as you have in acting), or you can choose to behave as yourself."

That's true. But my point is, that even when I'm acting, I'm still aware of myself and I know that it is only acting, as opposed to me actually being someone else. I am constantly making conscious descisions to act as someone else, meaning that even when exhibiting uninstinctive behaviour, me and my thoughts and personality are governing how I act.

As for your question, online, I'm AzureWolf. AzureWolf is an entertainer, or actor in the same way you play as a woman. And that people read what I write for entertainment and not to see the real me.

But that's exactly my point ^_^; You can't say "I'm AzureWolf" and then deny any kind of personality connection to that persona. Regardless of how true a reflection it is on your own self, you are still governing what AzureWolf thinks, says and does, all of which will be affected to any degree by your own thoughts, decisions and personality.

But anyway, I don't have the energy to continue with this, heh. Perhaps in a thread somewhere, but not in this blog. Thanks for another interesting (and challenging) debate ^______^

BlackJack: I really want to take more singing lessons so I can sing even more confidently. I've fantasised about singing in public a heck of a lot, but I've never actually motivated myself to do it.

But, um... I did try singing X-Japan's 'Tears' for my Holland audition two years ago. Most of it's in English, but I felt so embarrassed about even attempting it afterwards, heh. I wouldn't do it again unless I was fluent and confident in Japanese and if I knew the tune.

Sara: It's okay, heh ^_^ But no more debating here.

Mmm, lots of things happening at once.

We had another article printed about us on Wednesday. Apparently Dan and I met 27 years ago >.>; And they used the same photo which looks like I want Dan's blood, but never mind. It's all publicity ^_^;

Now I need to get dressed and have breakfast, heh. Sees yous soons!
