Position:Home>Arts & Humanities> Do you think people are destined for certain roles?Question: Do you think people are destined for certain roles?Let's say there are archetypes of humanity: the artist (craftsman, or builder), the visionary (inventor, adventurer), the warrior (or hunter), the leader, the nurturer and the healer. They crave to create, to discover, to conquer/defend, power, to care for life, and to preserve life, respectively. They feel "right" when they do these things. They're usually crossed (artist/visionary, warrior/leader, visionary/leader, healer/nurturer, etc.) My question to you is, do you think that all people, regardless of sex or race, are born to fill these niches or niche combinations? (Example: An artist/nurturer would be happy creating something like birdhouses, but an artist/visionary must make something shocking and new.) And that people become unhappy when forced into archetypes they aren't suited for (Example: a warrior/leader building houses) or, are our preferences developed conciously (we decide to like ___, so we do?) Also, if you agree with the system, which niche combo are you?

Let's say that untapped warrior I mentioned builds a decent house just because they've been doing it for years, but they still don't like building. They'd rather be arguing at a debate, or learning to fight even though they'd be better at building than fighting at first. Surely some of you know the feeling of wishing you were anywhere but your job because you hate the work. You only stay with it because it's all you know or you need the money. Otherwise, you'd be gone so fast there'd be skid marks on the floor to mark the occassion. |
