An archetype is a basic model or a prototype. The psychologist Carl Jung holds that some recurrent
experiences actually echo and re- echo a primordial or basic urge deep within human beings. Many films
today, for all their hi-tech effects, reflect these archetypal situations and characters. For example, the conflict
between Good and Evil has been there since time immemorial and today, plots of modern films reflect the
archetypal conflict between these two forces. The characters may look and talk differently but the situation they
find themselves in mirror the same moral struggle. This is true of the many episodes of Star Wars. Another
archetype is the initiation of the innocent. The main character, an innocent in the world of crime, deception and
decadence, is lured to step into this world and become either an unwilling or willing participant in this world.
Either way, the main character does not remain unscathed or unchanged by all these experiences. The war
film Platoon revolves around the initiation archetype.
TEXT 2
Although some people differentiate generation X from generation Y in terms of date – X are the people
born in the 1960s and 70s, Y are those in the 80s/90s – I would like to think that character is what essentially
differentiates them. One differentiating trait is related to technology. In terms of their attitude towards
technology, generation X is not too comfortable with it, being forced to use technology for convenience. On the
other hand, generation Y is tech-savvy (India Tribune, Feb. 16, 2015). In fact, Prensky (2001) called them
“digital natives” whereas members of generation X called the “digital immigrants”. Generation Y, also called the
Millenials (for the new millennium of the 21st century), often don’t need a manual to make sense of a digital
program; they know by instinct what to do, how to play it. Unlike them, generation X fumble as they read a
manual to make sense of a gadget.
The virtual world of the Internet, to generation X, is a world that they navigate from time to time in order
to get information; to generation Y, the virtual I a part of the real and they smoothly operate, even thrive, in the
two worlds. Because technology is very much a part of their system, generation Y is wired to connect to as
many people as possible, and this urge is so strong that they feel lost if they are not “in touch” or in the loop. In
contrast, generation X would like a more personal touch as they reach out to people and form communes.
