Hair - Aquarius scene

Aquarius HAIR.

The song was written based on astrological belief that the world would enter in the Age of Aquarius, and would experience a time of love, peace, democracy and humanity, unlike the current Age of Pisces. It was assumed that this change would occur in the late twentieth century...


When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars

This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
The age of Aquarius
Aquarius!
Aquarius!

Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golding living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revalation
And the mind's true liberation
Aquarius!
Aquarius!

When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars

This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
The age of Aquarius
Aquarius!
Aquarius!

Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golding living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revalation
And the mind's true liberation
Aquarius!
Aquarius!


This song is totally exophoric, requires a specific knowledge about astrology so, we will be able to understand what were they hopes.

Motivation - Douglas Brown 04/10

Motivation is the extent to which you make choices about goals to pursue and the effort you will devote to that pursuit..

One of the motivation camps is a traditional view of motivation that accounts for human behavior through a behavorioristic paradigm that stresses the importance of rewards and reinforcement. This is the Behavioristic definition, that define motivation as “THE ANTICIPATION OF REINFORCEMENT” – That’s when learners persue goals in order to receive externally administered rewards: praise gold stars, grades, certificates… It is extrinsic motivation.

Parody... 14/08

Parody is a specific form of comedy, used to satirize, mock or poke fun at a particular piece of work. It emphasizes imitation, emulating the characteristics of the chosen target to humorous or exaggerated effect. Some experts consider it a low form of comedy--the perception is that it can be undertaken too easily--but it has produced more than its share of genuine creative masterpieces. It is often used as an element in more pointed satire, but satire needn't include parody in order to be effective.
