The basic story of Harlock has been told many times over and in many different media. Though there are slight variations each time, the essentials remain the same. Matsumoto presents a future in which the Earth has achieved a vast starfaring civilization, but is slowly and steadily succumbing to ennui or outright despair, often due to defeat and subjugation by an alien invader (thus invoking strong parallels to post-World War Two Japan). Denying defeat and rising against the general apathy, the scarred moody space pirate Captain Harlock lead ...

"Hate is not the opposite of love. Apathy is." "If we admit our depression openly and freely, those around us get from it an experience of freedom rather than the depression itself." "Care is a state in which something does matter; it is the source of human tenderness. " "Creativity is not merely the innocent spontaneity of our youth and childhood; it must also be married to the passion of the adult human being, which is a passion to live beyond one's death. " "Depression is the inability to construct a future. " "Freedom is man's capacity to take a hand in his own dev ...

The 1960s saw a decline in the entire animation industry that affected the medium as a whole for over twenty years. The cartoon creations of all the Hollywood studios seemed to be affected by an apathy that led to a general decline in quality for the industry. Creativity and originality in animation moved largely underground, to the point where quality animated films were largely produced by small, independent producers, or in countries other than America. In 1961, Walt Disney helped to establish the California Institute of the Arts. ...

Although primarily economic in emphasis, Producerism has a perspective on social issues as well, namely that the traditional values of the middle class are the only true national values, and these are to be defended on one side against the corruption of decadent inherited wealth and on the other from the dangerous apathy and sloth it sees as being the inevitable consequents of dependency on the welfare state. Therefore, Producerists tend to be patriotic but intensely distrustful of the State, which they believe to be under the control of for ...

Hard code - Product code. A program that has a unique product code always checks its maker's website to be sure that it hasn't been blacklisted as pirated. If the corporation changes its site layout or its domain name, or if it goes bankrupt and its site is pulled, the program will fail to work. Software developers doing this is considered as a serious mistake, since websites frequently disappear or get rearranged. However, these concerns may be ignored due to arrogance about the future existence of the website or company, or apathy abou ...

Like a number of other social critics of the time, Grierson was profoundly concerned about what he perceived to be clear threats to democracy. In the US, he encountered a marked tendency toward political reaction, anti-democratic sentiments, and political apathy. He read and agreed with the journalist and political philosopher Walter Lippman's book Public Opinion which blamed the erosion of democracy in part on the fact that the political and social complexities of contemporary society made it difficult if not impossible for the public to comprehend and respond to issues ...

The story of Genovese's murder became an almost-instant parable about the supposed callousness, or at least apathy to others' plight, of either New York City or urban America in general. Much of this framing of the event came in reaction to an investigative article in the New York Times written by journalist Martin Gansberg and published on March 27, two weeks after the murder. The article bore the thrilling headline, "Thirty-Eight Who Saw Murder Didn't Call the Police"; the public view of the story crystallized around a quote from the last line of the article, taken from an unidentified 70-year ...

Health issues and the effects of cannabis - Behavioral effects. It is sometimes observed, and generally stereotyped, that systematic changes in a person’s lifestyle, ambitions, motivation, and personality happen when a young person starts smoking marijuana. In fact, in many situations when people are asked to describe the personality traits of a marijuana user, they will most likely portray a person of apathy or loss of effectiveness: a person with diminished capacity or willingness to carry out complex long-term plans, endure frustration, concentrate for ...

Extinction - Extinction in species other than Homo sapiens. Because humans are a reasonably intelligent species capable of abstract thought, the views on the extinction of species other than Homo sapiens tend to be diverse, ranging from the preservative views of the most vehement eco-warrior to general apathy in the matter.

In children, the mortality rate of protein-energy malnutrition varies between 5% and 40%. The lower mortality rates are observed in children given intensive care.

The Irish language is a subject compulsory in schools, and has been since Ireland gained independence. In modern days, the language is derided by most students and more students fail Irish at Leaving Certificate than in any other language. The reasons given are lack of interest and sheer difficulty. There is an apathy among students regarding Irish, particularly as it is seen as a dead language. It is also seen as backward, and, to a certain extent, primitive by schoolchildren. At a time when even the Irish influence on the English language is dying out due to American affectation ...

Amerika criticized American society in the 1980's, implying that apathy and an unwillingness to defend freedom on the part of many citizens made the Soviet takeover rather easy. At one point, a key Soviet official observes that their plans for conquering the United States succeeded far beyond their wildest dreams, because once the nation had been defeated, Americans turned inward, not caring about national issues, seeking only to retain a piece of the prosperity that had once been theirs. "It (the Soviet coup) worked because you lost your country before we ever got here," says the Soviet leader. "You had political fre ...

AFFECTLESS

Making no pretense of feeling or reaction to anything. The common condition of 20th century mankind. Magicians encountering this condition are sometimes enraged by it, but they should remember that to awaken those sunk in apathy, despair and ignorance is a grave responsibility. What profit is there in awakening sheep if the sheep have nowhere to go?

The Trigunas

Just as the doshas are the essential components of the body, the three gunas - Satwa, Rajas and Tamas - are the three essential components or energies of the mind. Ayurveda provides a distinct description of people on the basis of their Manasa (psychological) Prakriti (constitution). Genetically determined, these psychological characteristics are dependent on the relative dominance of the three gunas.

While all individuals have mixed amounts of the three, the predominant guna determines an individual's mansa prakriti. In equilibrium, the three gunas preserve the mind (and indirectly the body), maintaining it in a healthy state. Any disturbance in this equilibrium results in various types of mental disorders.

Satwa, characterised by lightness, consciousness, pleasure and clarity, is pure, free from disease and cannot be disturbed in any way. It activates the senses and is responsible for the perception of knowledge. Rajas, the most active of the gunas, has motion and stimulation as its characteristics. All desires, wishes, ambitions and fickle-mindedness are a result of the same. While Tamas is characterised by heaviness and resistance. It produces disturbances in the process of perception and activities of the mind. Delusion, false knowledge, laziness, apathy, sleep and drowsiness are due to it.

Rajas and Tamas, as with the doshas, can be unbalanced by stress and negative desires as kama (lust), irshya (malice), moha (delusion and halucination), lobha (greed), chinta (anxiety), bhaya (fear) and krodha (anger). Each of these three properties is also comprised of sub-types and the particular sub-type to which one belongs to determine the qualities of that individual.

Satwika individuals are usually noble and spiritual in character, their nature determined as much by body type as their star constellation, having an element of kapha in their constitution.

Pitta dominated Rajasikas, intellectually oriented but vulnerable to temptations, are very human in their character and approach to life.

A dominant Vata ensures that Tamasika individuals are the most down to earth, concerned about fundamental questions of practical existence, specially when confronted by more spiritual and less physical issues.
