George Bernard Shaw Is Not Right Absolutely, Unique Of Unique, A Child Is Not A Vase To Be Filled, Points To Ponder, Quotes & Slogan: Projective Medium By Dr. Sohail Ansari

{‘Would you like you if you met you’? An affirmative response by an evil man indicates his reaching of the point of no return and by a pious of plateau.}

{Enlightened discourse is when one knows what he is saying by knowing what he is not saying.}

George Bernard Shaw is not right absolutely

ü “A man of great common sense and good taste_ meaning thereby a man with out originality or moral courage.”  Shaw is wrong and wrong absolutely if we apply what he says to Islam. He as a child of Humanism is understandably can not understand that Islam that gives thematic unity to the lives of its adherents is because of its divine origin infallibly complete code of life. Originality of its followers lies in coming up with better variations on theme and moral courage in voicing disapproval in case there is any deviation from the consensual standards.

Unique of unique

ü Actor can not be a character unless he walks into it. Acting is unique as it enables one to have the shades of emotions from across the spectrum. Actor runs the whole gamut: he is consumed by the intensity of a fanatic and elevated by the purity of ascetic; he experiences the pangs of hunger; libido of licentious and enter into the platonic relationships. True, beyond a shadow of doubt; but there is ‘unique of unique: a role that demands travelling back in time and actor learns through his identification with his hero of a distant past that something has ‘got delightfully twisted in time skipped upward on the page’.    

A child is not a vase to be filled

ü Drumming into pupils ready-made responses is fine with me as long as it works against growth of unorthodoxy and heresy; this is its flipside _perhaps I am partially wrong to use this word_ that troubles me; it saps its recipients of the fecundity to meet the myriad challenges life throws in the give and take of every day life. Minus resourcefulness they are truly impoverished to add innovations to their repertoire. Worse may be is its failure to give vision to pupils so they can come up not only with telling analysis of a nuanced and sensitive picture of a complex day-to-day happenings but also know the value not the price of things.

Points to ponder:

ü Good work endures and bad work dies is not a right thing to say as controversial books have too much of the virtue of their defects to suffer oblivion.

ü Disparaging though justified is the evaluation of Kenneth Tyran: ‘A critic is a man who knows the way but can not driver the car’ this is the criticism, however, that helps maintain the demarcation of the boundaries of the various genres: restraining driver from overlapping.

SLOGAN: PROJECTIVE MEDIUM:

(Modern man is no longer characterized by personal impotency emanating from fatalism but by a psycho-social complex of norms based on democratic orientation that imply implicit faith on egalitarianism and meritocracy as value concept. Mass media act as mobility multipliers; infusing people with diffused rationality; consequently ways of thinking and acting cease to be articles of faith and become instrument of intention.

The rise of Political Marketing as the privileged forum for the transmission of political cues is the response to needs of time as all parties need political campaign not because they know it will deliver but because they do not know for sure it will not.

Article draws upon socio-cultural perspectives in seeking to understand how cultural, social and economic changes mediated by industrialization influence

The use of party’s slogans as communicators of meanings by electorates is among the most dramatic instances of fundamental continuities and similarities among human cultures, from what we call ‘primitive societies’ to our own; therefore, the function of slogans in human cultures is significant for our understanding of contemporary political life and helps us to appreciate the full extent of political marketing’s role in the consumer society.

Political affiliations in pre-industrial world were mediated by interactions between leaders and followers; and sense of belonging was associated with this physical proximity. Having this physical proximity was out of question in contemporary society. But absence of latter  was not to be allowed to become absence of former; if politics and politicians had to survive; therefore medium that could mediate political relation by expressing motives and objectives shared by leader and voter had to be created to act as communicators in political interactions, thus slogans were born.

Slogan-creation is necessity if interaction has to occur and that necessity necessitates the role of political marketing practitioners charged with the task to charge slogans with meanings of interpretive significance and breathe life into them in order to make them seem as if they are alive or endowed with life-force.

Slogans in ads; on leaflets or on the bosoms of followers serve as a ‘projective medium’ through which political interactions take place. Political marketers and advertisers canvass the whole range of cultural symbols, past and present, and blend their borrowings with the characteristics of current leaders to create this projective medium through which, they hope, the symbolic meanings can be made to resonate.

Discourse through and about party/leader’ can not be communicated in the same ways because the market-industrial society is unique not for its obsession with building personality-cult, but for its capacity to transform the characteristics of leader quickly and regularly, therefore, ever-new slogans are to be constructed for the flow of discourse. 

Slogans are not simply part of political communication _ not merely the messages or messengers in the system, but, in fact, very embodiment of the message as they encapsulate theme of one’s political philosophy.
