This paper presents the notion of taboo in the context of a social phenomenon identified with a strong exclusion that simultaneously binds nature and culture. Trying to define it, you can say that taboos are not just what cannot be named, what cannot be done, but also what cannot be thought of. This term is connected with a strong ban and fear. Sexual life, along with all its forms, ranging from debauchery to restraint, from promiscuity to asceticism, from what falls within a norm to pathology, connected with such topics as eroticism and procreation, is an ambiguous, shameful and hidden area of human experience. Sexuality is the source of elementary human shame. It is sometimes impure because it is related to the lower half of the body, it is sometimes violent, it may cause disorder, fighting, jealousy. On the other hand, however, it is perceived in terms of procreation as a lofty act of giving life. All manifestations of sexuality have become a taboo. This paper discusses potential breaking of sexuality taboos in the social context.
This article is an attempt to show the richness of the phenomenon of storytelling as a narrative processed by deep brain structures due to the content conveyed in a fictional way, in the form of a story that gives the message more distinctive and persuasive power. Since information processing is a key phase in the process of gathering information and indirectly remembering it, both cognitive processes will also be characterized in terms of their acceleration by adapting the guidelines of neuroscience to create brain-friendly content. When explaining the mechanism behind the effectiveness of storytelling, two clues should be indicated. The first one refers to neuropsychology and the second to the discoveries of cognitive psychology, especially research on the properties of cognitive patterns and some theories of persuasion. In this article, the author will follow the first of the two indicated leads.
