Watching Supernatural (CW Season 3). 7 Deadly Sins.
· Perhaps a new way of viewing behaviors or “sins.” (pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, sloth)
· Behaviorism posits that our behaviors identify us. Ex. “good/bad” behaviors = “Good/bad” person. B/W view
· Most view sins as bad/evil or unwanted behaviors. Is killing a sin? Could be an accident. What about war or protecting your family? The ethical dilemma of killing one to save a billion?
· So easy to label others based on behavior because we cannot see their intangible motivation.
· Medieval Catholic Church Cardinal Sins: Different way to view 7 deadly sins:
o Pride: basing identity on behavior. Needing to prove Self-worth through behaviors. (vs Confident)
o Greed: basing identity on financial status. Needing to prove self-worth thru money. (vs Wealthy)
o Lust: basing identity on how we feel and an unhealthy strategy for dealing with emotions (boredom, anxiety, loneliness, disappointment).
o Envy: basing identity on status via comparing. Needing to prove self-worth by being better than someone else (vs
o Gluttony: Extreme scarcity and unhealthy strategy for dealing with emotions (boredom, anxiety, loneliness, disappointment). (moderation)
o Wrath: Basing identity on what has been done to you by others. Unforgiveness.
o Sloth: Extreme fear…paralyzing.
· Not perfect. Trying to show that the importance is the motivation underlying the behavior.
