Creativity Writing Class at Stanford specializing in science fiction thought of.
As a non-religious particular person, I’ve written some science fiction that blends non secular beliefs of my characters and the society at massive into the fray of the plot and style. I discover this a pleasant solution to educate the reader to assume in ‘what ifs’ and query their perception system. A robust religious non secular particular person will certainly come to their similar conclusion, maybe somebody on the fence may be reached and to a non-believer, properly heck I’m simply writing to the choir so to talk.
Now then, there was an fascinating video posted to YouTube titled; “Getting Inventive” wherein the professor explains a category that she teaches. Within the YouTube video the outline explains; “Alternatives for college students to be inventive outdoors of arts courses are few. In Professor Hester Gelber’s class, college students have interaction with non secular research by creating their very own quick tales. They learn science fiction and fantasy novels to discover our fashionable tackle religion.”
That is an fascinating idea, as an illustration take into account L. Ron Hubbard, the science fiction author and creator of Scientology (a religion now with tens of millions of followers, together with one very well-known actor – Tom Cruise). Clearly, his writings had been impressed by religion, the way it labored, why it labored and the issues he noticed in it in addition to contradictions to fashionable science, particularly if one makes an attempt to dimension these older religions up by their verbatim, literal interpretation.
I ponder with the professors PC (politically right) displacement, if a scholar who’s less-than-PC or SC (socially right) may count on to get an honest grade? I’m considerably troubled by her openness to venture her views even on this video. In spite of everything, true creativity can be a divergence from the present society, in any other case it’s mimicking the present paradigm and taking the present traits and focusing them ahead.
Lots of the previous Sci Fi writers had been utterly vital of their time, or the notion of the period they lived. Can this professor be non-bias in grading? I ponder, additionally if she assists the coed in reasoning via issues then inherently, whether or not significant or not, has the coed imagining the professor’s future or views. I believe true creativity and pushing the envelope of society, must shake it to its core, so then, the pattern strains at the moment must be proven for his or her errors in lots of regards. Do you see my factors?
Is it actually creativity to rehash the identical arguments about religion over-and-over once more? Probably not, is my reply. Will these college students provide you with any new genres whereas studying to be inventive utilizing this system? Possibly, however probably not – what do you assume?
