Salutations everyone, since I promoted the soon-to-be-over One World 2014 Human Rights festival, I just felt like sharing just a bit more insight that I would like to be able to just spread to all of you. ....yes, i know, i havent covered my research article yet, but why not to share what ive found influential that may be influential or enriching to you as well! Seeing about 6 films thus far, I havent felt this inspired and motivated and my passion for what career Ive chosen to follow just completely internally reignited. Ive witnessed the wide potential and implications for psychology in its broad sense of application, interconnection, and ubiquity in all the humankinds issues that have been part of our world and that have been depicted by the brave protagonists this year. Furthermore, an incredible experience was that many of them have actually come to prague and i had the pleasure to talk to them. It is tremendously fascinating to watch, for instance, a tanzanian albino activist who struggles in a battle of his life with a great importance and consequential gravity to millions of other oppressed individuals, whos spent his life in anguish, uncertainty, and what we may depict as living hell, facing death and all of societys worst qualities to defy; there he was, a tranquil and forgiving man, joking around in a decent manner and passing an experience about intolerance from an experience completely remote yet so similar to ours. Putting all of that in a perspective is what i consider a truly significant moment. But to get to the point of giving a recent example, Id like to share an example relating most cursorily to the field of sports psychology, but that has an immense potential for reflection, consideration, and evaluation of neuro-/cognitive-/family dynamics-/adjustment-/health- psychological domains. Just tonight I saw a documentary film named The Crash Reel about a traumatic head injury and a path of recovery of a professional athlete beautifully caught in the perspective of individual, family, environmental, and global impact and the causality of such an incident. The documentary captured all the aspects of personality changes due to the irreversible head trauma, neurological aftermath, cognitive impairments, limitations of the human body and namely the limitations of our brain (e.g. beautiful insight into the family member struggling with the acceptance of having a down syndrome as well as the main protagonist struggling with an adjustment to life after the injury), relationship and interaction difficulties, and personality/ego (psychoanalytically speaking) reflection. Moreover, quite educational in terms of seeing how psychology of adjustment may work in particular cases and what broad implications to ones life it may have. Honestly, as much as we may be aware of how fragile the whole of our life on earth is, the strikingly important is to remind ourselves of the whole of our individual universe that can just snap in a split of a second eternally. Despite me not wanting to really impose on you what may not be of your interest at all (but certainly Ondrej Camrda might appreciate this haha), I think such a documentary could be of a valuable case study for a Psych Club Movie Night or just for individual consideration. Have a great week everyone!
