Hero’s Journey Paper

Jungian Psychology and NOT the traditional, too scientific kind
More like the metaphysical spiritual kind but still theoretical

It is about how the concept of THE HEROES JOURNEY (Joseph Campbell) will help me as a FILMMAKER
I am a screenwriting student but filmmaking is the subject

Joseph Campbell was inspired by Jung. George Lucas adopted his framework and it’s a popular Hollywood template now – the heroes journey. The significance of archetypes in the collective consciousness is vital here.

This is what the assignment entails:

*Final Paper and Presentation Prompt.
MLA8 Final Research Paper
Explain how this will help you as a filmmaker. It needs to be 3-5 pages max. This paper needs to be related to psychology and film. 5 sources 2 must be peer reviewed articles and the rest must be from a source with high journalistic standards or a book which has information that is cited and supported.

Code-switching: How African American Vernacular English (AAVE) is used as a tool of survival for Black Americans

Thesis: Black Americans “code-switch” between standard English and African American Vernacular English (AAVE) as a means of socioeconomic survival.
5 peer-reviewed sources MINIMUM APA 7 citation. I have linked a few sources for supplementary at bottom, but paper MUST reference the journal articles. I have attached 3 peer-reviewed sources, and some other resources you can referenence (powerpoint of course material – do not reference the powerpoint, only use as a guide to understand context if needed)
Research Questions to be answered:
What is AAVE and code switching? It’s origins?
What are some tangible and positive socioeconomic outcomes of code-switching for Black communities?
What are the positive social and psychological impacts of code-switching on Black people?
What are the negative social and psychological impacts of code-switching on Black people?
MUST connect to communications concepts (will attach Powerpoint files of course material, but need academic sources):
A few of Hockett’s design features:
vocal/auditory channel: create conception based on how person sounds. Construct world from sound.. Assumptions about how something sounds Association of aave with low class Code switching used to combat misconceptions
tradition: AAVE originates from when slave owners intentionally mixed up enslaved ppl from all different African tribes/cultures, slave owners intentionally kept them from communicating so they don’t revold. Eventually it formed into its own language. Now AAVE used to……..
productivity: aave has grammar and syntax
Semantics: AAVE is appropriated – meaning displaced/distored eg tik tok, music, gets attributed as “Gen Z culture” AAVE is decontextualized
encoded/decoded: AAVE is used by only ppl who can understand and have been brought up and; also encode – only they can understand
Dominant hegemonic position – have same meaning structures and able to decode messages in AAVE correctly
Oppositional position – different meaning structures, therefore you decode the message wrong (chile, cancel, etc)
source/reciever: There’s a disconnect between the sources [speaker] and receiver [listener] in the meaning of the words, said by one and misconstrued
semiotics:
What things mean is a matter of interpretation; how things mean is a matter of structure.
How do representational systems like languages create meaning at all? In other words, how does any language – with all its signs, symbols, codes and conventions – come to have meaning?
