Beyond this general idea of progress, the narrative of oil is also associated with individual success and is overall seen as a savior that can perform miracles for humanity. However, it also is the cause of some social and environmental injustice.

Identity is the form in which the innate personality of an individual is revealed leading to perception and interpretation of a fictive self, imperative to human construction and function.

sources- the Priestly (P) source and the Yahweh-Elohim (JE) source. P had built upon the older JE version, adding his own agenda to the mix. In its final form in the torah, the two different versions were combined together into a single, confusing narrative. The story jumps from place to place, protagonist to protagonist.

Suddenly, then, a faraway, foreign land doesn’t seem so far away after all, and the “Flower of Reunification” (Sukyung’s nickname), goes from being an untouchable to a tangible (though somewhat standoffish) flesh-and-blood individual. The documentary thus takes on a paradoxical quality: on one hand, it expresses the possibility of concretizing an intercultural encounter, while on the other, it marks the limits that such encounters always

we’ve seen from Marvel. He has the power to control the minds of others, from telling them when they’re allowed to speak to pushing them to commit suicide. His violence is intimate and personal, aimed at the most fragile parts of Jessica’s psyche. But Kilgrave isn’t the show’s only villain. He is part of a larger narrative about control and abuse.
