The Grimms apparently don't have a society for themselves responsible for spread their knowledge and to keep their way of living. Thinking about the wesen, I think we can consider this one of the responsibilities of the council.
But even the grimms having a no specific or uniform culture for themselves, there same elements that are common to the grimms we saw on the show. Their lack of value and consideration to their families is an example. Apparently they put their duty over their family. Nick puts his grimm over his duties as police officer.
This is a way of interpretation of the world (a world view) and that is what I am interested in.
I think I should have used a definition for worldview that had no culture on it. Something like:
"Worldview is just a term meaning how you interpret reality, or what you believe to be true."
Culture will certainly affects each one worldview. But ones worldview is not dependent only on culture, but on a lot of other factors.
Sorry.... I think I started with the wrong definition. But anyway, it is not out of this thread to debate the grimm culture (if it exists) since it will be part of the Grimm worldview.
Note: I hope I wasn't too confuse in this post...
Hi Adriano-
I did some research on Wiki regarding world view and it looks like world view is a many, many, many faceted idea. Individuals can construct worldviews, or they can operate at a higher level, like a community level or national level.
Much of this went way over my head and I didn't want to delve into all of them, so I pulled out two simpler world views that I thought might be of interest to this fascinating topic.
The first is from philosopher Leo Apostel.
A worldview should consist of six elements:
1.An explanation of the world
2.A futurology, answering the question "Where are we heading?"
3.Values, answers to ethical questions: "What should we do?"
4.A theory of action: "How should we attain our goals?"
5.A theory of knowledge: "What is true and false?"
6.An etiology. A constructed world-view should contain an account of its own "building blocks," its origins and construction.
The second is from author, Roland Muller, who suggested cultural world views can be broken down into three separate world views:
Guilt–Innocence: In a Guilt/Innocence focused culture, schools focus on deductive reasoning, cause and effect, good questions, and process. Issues are often seen as black and white. Written contracts are paramount. Communication is direct, and can be blunt.
Honor–Shame: Societies with a predominantly Honor-Shame worldview teach children to make honorable choices according to the situations they find themselves in. Communication, interpersonal interaction, and business dealings are very relationship-driven, with every interaction having an effect on the Honor-Shame status of the participants. In an Honor-Shame society the crucial objective is to avoid shame and to be viewed honorably by other people. The Honor-Shame paradigm is especially strong in Asia and the Middle East.[23]
Power–Fear: Some cultures can be seen very clearly in operating under a Power-Fear worldview. In these cultures it is very important to assess the people around you and know where they fall in line according to their level of power. This can be used for good or for bad. A benevolent king rules with power and his citizens fully support him wielding that power. On the converse, a ruthless dictator can use his power to create a culture of fear where his citizens are oppressed.
The wiki article stated:
"It is not simple enough to say that each person is one of the three cultures above. Instead, each individual is a mix of the three. For example, a person may be raised in a Power-Fear society, in a Honor-Shame family, and go to school under a Guilt-Innocence system."
I actually thought the second one, Honor-Shame, Guilt-Innocence, Power-Fear applies more to the Grimms than the first one. However, I like the first one and I may attempt to post something based on the six elements.
This is really wordy and I apologize for that.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
