Realism, is an Art Movement, that, began, in the 19th Century, and was, in all, to have, a rather, great impact, on the History, of the World. This, was, especially true, with, regards, to what, they call, the Visual Arts, as, Realism, in this particular area of Art, gave rise, to, Images/Photography, rather, realistic in its nature, in how really, they described, ones world [as with, paintings, of real, everyday people, and, real, everyday events too]. In other areas, such as, Literature, Realism, aspired to, tell, true stories [often, tragical], or even, fictional accounts, of, true events and happenings. In many ways, unknown to most, Realism [and its attempt, to tell, truth based, stories, surrounding, everyday, events, and everyday, people too (in the form mainly, of, music), came, to influence, the world, hugely, enough, in ways, most, have never, truly, fathomed]. To truly understand this further, is to, realize, that Realism, does not, influence, the way one thinks or even, feels, but in fact, creates, our mental pictures, of Reality as with, Constructs, Paradigms, and, Models. In many ways, a rather, dangerous Art form [due to its, highly, impressional, nature], in that, it can have, one, in all, seeing, only, certain things, and totally, missing, out, on others [this is especially true, too, of what, they call, accounts (and not, tales) of an event, as some, of these, accounts, can be, rather, tragical in nature, giving one in all, a rather, false impression, of Life itself] [The world, of Pablo Picasso].
Realism though, as a Science, is studied, in, the form, of, Enactivism, and, Experiential Reality.Enactivism, in most ways, speaks of, how, we generally see, our worlds [as with, our, very own, eyes]. At the root heart though, of, Enactivism, are, three things, discussed, in, previous postings:
1. Personal problems [and fantasy figures]
2. General problems [worries, incongruencies, apprehensions]
3. World History [Helplessness, Weakness, Timidity]
In all, what is been said here, is that, at every moment, of, our waking selves, whenever, we see, something, deemed of interest, it has, to do, with, the three, above [Realism, as an Art form, shapes the way, one sees, the, three above, and was in many ways, created, to, stabilize (as with, happenings), the Earth/World] [Realism, does have its roots, in African Art].
Experiential Reality though, speaks of, our having, what, they call, a Sense of Reality [as with really a, Sense of History/Advancement, Sense of Power/Progress, and finally, a, Sense of Success/Development]. In all, that, our everyday experiences today, deemed worthy to note, are, very much, based on, our, Sense of Reality, and not, mainly really, on, Culture. In many ways too, via mostly, the, Media, what they do call, a, Sense of Reality, has come, to replace, Culture itself [as with, the opening, of, a fast food restaurant, somewhere].
Individualism & the rise of Internationalism:
Ayn Rand, was a reknowed, American, writer, of Russian Ancestry, who, although falsely, believed, to be, a proponent, of, Objectivism (as a Philosophy), she was, actually, in many ways, a, proponent really, of, Individualism. Individualism, is a rather, confused, doctrine, in that, it attempts really (from a political perspective), to define, what, an Individual, is [as with, mainly, political institutions]. In reality though, an Individual, can best be described, rather congruently, by, both, Enactivism, and, Experiential Reality [how both in all, affect, the Individual being].
Internationalism, is often, confused, as, the bringing, together, of different bodies [of people/beings], for, a higher [or grander even], cause. The belief that, foreign groups, working together, make, for a better, safer, and, more stable, world. This though, is not, exactly true [as with what really, Internationalism, is all about]. Internationalism, in most ways, deals, with, the Individual [and in general, how, to better them]. For most, this refers, to, three main things:
1. Standards of Living: As mainly, with, quality of life, and, Western materiality (as a measure).
2. Education: As with level, attained really, and, Literacy rates.
3. Development: Often associated really, with, the kind of Government, a Country, is, associated with, as especially, with, Ideology espoused [e.g. Democracy etc.]
That in most ways, is what, Internationalism, is all about, but, all made, rather, unclear, as while, it is said, to be, based, on Group Think [and, associated, Think Tanks], it is mainly, studied, from, the perspective, of, the Individual [as with, giving, Individuals, a poll of some sort].
Internationalism, and in many ways, Realism too [as, Eanctivism & Experiental Reality], have come in all to change, how, people, view, the World, from, a Historical, perspective [in all, it has come, to define, what, History, is all about, today, rather than, the traditional method, of basing History, from, Culture/history, Cultural Identities/historical, and, finally, civilization/historic]. It is this, method, of using, Internationalism, to record, History, that has, many, disconnected, from, their pasts [and in many ways, not only, failing, to understand, their, previous ways, but also, looking, at them, as, being, inferior, due to, only, seeing it all, from, the perspective, of, the Individual] [In all really, writing, History, from, the perspective, of, the Humanities].
To grasp all this, much better, is to see, all, the above, from, a rather, very, individual, perspective, as with, helping one, see, their world, today, as it, really is. As an example of all this, the following, example, rather, everyday in nature, will be, used, to describe, all this, in, rather, informal terms.
Personal problems: How in general, do people, around you, walk? How in general, do people, around you, talk? Have you seen, someone, trip over, recently? Do people around you, feel, weak/tired, often? How do those, around you, greet, each other? Has a friend, visited you, lately?
[The above questions, should help one, in, a small way, to see, Reality, for mostly, what it is; They are not, questions, to be answered (as those below too), and then, simply move on, but should instead, make one, aware, of ones, surroundings]
General problems: What to do, for fun today? What to eat, for breakfast? Do others, around you, often, threaten you? How often, do you laugh, in a day? How do you behave, if, attacked? Have you seen, anyone, greet, another, by a wave?
World History: How is the Weather, where you are; does it rain often? What food, do those, around you, eat often; where they, eating, the same, food, 5 years ago? What kind, of clothes, do those, around you, put on? If having a problem, whom (politically), do you, turn to? Would you have turn, to the same, entity, 5-10 years ago?
[One should try, and understand, the nature, of, these questions asked, as they, pertain really, to, helping one, gain, a grasp of, Reality itself (and how, it changes, unnoticed)].
Sense of History/Advancement: From which point, do you, base, the study really, of, ones History, as a, Group? The Ancient days, the Medieval times, or even really, the Modern/Colonial era? [an important question, as it, helps one, gauge, 'progress', in all its forms]
Sense of Power/Progress: Whom, is in Power, today, in your region? Is the Political Doctrine, most ascribe to, in your region, a follow-through, from the past? Do you in most ways, subscribe, to, the Power Entities, in your region (as with, believing in them), or do you, actually, subscribe, to, more ancient Power Entities (as with, Storytellers, and the Media)?
Sense of Success/Development: How do those, in your region, describe, Success? Does it follow through, from, past eras? Is your region, more wealtheir, today, than it was, in, the past (perhaps, 200 years ago)?
The goal, of all this, again, is to tell, most, they do not, have, a clear method/way, of seeing, Reality. They in fact don't know, much, about, their regions in all, and one, could be, living above, possibly, buried treasure, and not, know about it. To make this, even more clearer, is to state, that, there are many, ways, of seeing, Reality [the easiest, example, being, from a past, perspective, as with, basing, ones reference, on, the Ancient past, or even, the, Modern/Colonial era]. The people, in your region, might trip often when they walk, and you might, never know this is, unless, you had, a, Sense of History.
The whole purpose, of this entry, is to actually, attempt, to present, to those, out there, better ways, of, seeing, their Reality, compared to, that, which, the Media [via Realism (Visual Arts), and especially, Advertising too], want you, to, see, or imagine up. That in most ways, unknown to most [from the perspective, of, Enactivism (and Personal problems etc.), and, Experiential Reality], that, most today, actually more or less, live, in the past, and hence, a knowingly belief by many that, despite all the changes, they see out there [Media driven], nothing much, ever, changes in Life [Enactivism and Experiential Reality]. By giving others, a rather clear, picture, of, whats really going on, at this moment, then, they truly, can, begin, living, their lives, and not, wasting it, due, to not, having, a clear, picture, of Reality (as with actual, seeing it, with, ones eyes) [and whats, really going on, at the moment] [Some people, walk down, a road, and only, see, the passing, car, and not, the, man, walking by, too, or even, the person, on, a motorcycle, whom all, in most ways, might, influence, their lives/histories, more, than they think].
[The passages below, are deemed, right, in helping, people, see, their current worlds, from, the perspective, of Realism (Enactivism & Experiential Reality), and not, Internationalism really (as, the Media, often, wants, one, to see, their worlds)]
North America: Civil War America
North America, right now, as, with moods, atmospheres, weather, and in all, Realism (Enactivism & Experiential Reality), are actually, back (and having been stuck there, mainly), in Civil War America [all this, of course, speaking, of, Individual life].
[This all, should not, be confused, with, the, Psychosomasis entry, which spoke of, the greater, problems (as with Crime and Violence), that, a Government, faces, and, its true, underlying, roots/causes] [The above, applies, to the Individual, and how, they, actually see, Reality].
Recommended Literature: To help, North Americans, actually see, their, Realities, as they, really are (as with, Civil War America that is), the following, Literature, has been, recommended:
'The Norton Anthology of African American Literature by Nellie Y. McKay'; 'Masterpieces of American Indian Literature by Willis Regier'.
South America: Peronist Argentina
For the average South American, life today, as, an Individual, and based really, on, seeing Reality (as it really is), is no, different really, from, the Argentina, of, Juan Peron. That when one, says, nothing, ever changes, in, South America, they mean that, life, from, the Individual perspective, has, not, changed much, from, 40's Argentina.
[To make this even clearer, alot, of what, is deemed, important Media, actually, deals, with the, issues, that were, covered, in, the Psychosomasis entry, and Government attempts, to, deal with them (as with, the outbreak, of, a disease, or, Violence, somewhere); They do not, deal, with, the Individual life (the everyday person, who sees, strange things, in, the News, but with nothing really, happening, in, their lives]
Recommended Literature: 'The Oxford Anthology of the Brazilian Short Story by K. David Jackson'; 'The Oxford Book of Latin American Short Stories by Roberto Gonzalez'; And also too, anything (but especially, Brida), by Paulo Coelho.
Europe: Merovingian France
The Merovingian Dynasty, was, a Dynasty, seen, in France, during, the Byzantine times. In many ways, a high point, in, Culture, for France, and one, that, has come, to, influence, France/Europe, to, this modern day [in many ways, Napoleanic France (as with, the first, Napolean, and the, Individual), very much, built, their France, on, the Merovingians] [The France, of, Soldiers, with Side hats, and 'Les Miserables' the movie; http://www.britishbattles.com/waterloo/images/napoleon-addresses.jpg]
Recommended Literature: 'The Oxford Anthology of British Literature Vol 1: Medieval by J.B. Trapp'; 'Longman Anthology of British Literature Vol 1A by David Damrosch'; And finally, anything, by, Guy de Maupassant, Honore de Balzac, and even, Gustave Flaubert
[What is been said here, for, the European out there, that what, is, actually, going on, right now, in, Europe, as with the past too, from, an Individual perspective, cannot only, be seen, in, the Literature pieces above, but also, in, the movie, 'Les Miserables'] [In all too, it is been said, that, most, of Europes, Political structures, have not, changed much, since, Merovingian France]
Africa: Abbasid Caliphate/Dynasty, Kuba Congo, and Victorian world
For Africa, one finds, that, the Individual, in, North Africa, is still, very much, stuck, in the times of, the, Abbasid Caliphate/Dynasty [and a Dynasty, that gave, birth, to, the, Mediterranean world, as it is, perceived, today (politically)]. Those in Afrique, have never, ever, gotten past, the, Colonial times, and especially, Victorian Kenya/England [Kenya today, is still, rather similar, to, England, than most, countries, out there (as with the, Middle & Lower, classes)]. For the rest, of Africa, Life, is still, very much, for, the Individual, stuck, in, the times, of, the Kuba Congo Kingdoms [a time, of great, instability, as, especially with, witchcraft].

[One should not, be surprised, either, by the use, of works, believed, or pertained, to be, British in nature, as they are, in fact, Victorian, Byzantine, Islamic, and even, Ottoman in origins. The British, have never, had, such a, huge array, of Literature, and most, of these works, are said, to be British, as with regards really, to, Commercialization (the appropriating, of, other cultures/peoples works, and, attempting, to sell them, for, a profit)]
South East Asia: British Imperialist India
While British Imperialist India, is falsely, believed, to have, been, a, harsh, time for all, Individual life, still, existed, but, Group life, was rather, limited. For the Individual, in Southeast Asia, life, today, is no different, from, British Imperialist India.

Recommended Literature: 'The Columbia Anthology of Modern Chinese Literature by Joseph Lau'; 'The Columbia Anthology of Traditional Chinese Literature by Victor H. Mair ' [similar in nature, and rather, inspirational too, as with, the Individual really]
Middle East: Ottoman Turkey
For the Middle East region, as especially, with, Israel even, life, for the Individual, has not, changed really, since, the times, of, Ottoman Turkey. At a time really, when, in Turkey, Islam, Christianity, and Judaism, existed peacefully, alongside, each other, and in, many ways too, a, world, similar to, modern Israel [Politically speaking].
Recommended Literature: 'The Broadview Anthology of British Literature Vol. 2 & Vol. 3 by Joseph Black [Islamic/Ottoman works really, as with, translations]
One should attempt, to see, the purpose, of all this, which is, to give, another, a, phase shift, as to, how really, they see, their, worlds. What is more, important to one [as an Individual], the Car, passing by, or, the Dog, which, just ran by? To the, non-perceiving Individual, the Car, probably is, but what, is actually, been said here, is that, the Dog, actually, holds the key, to not, only, seeing, their worlds, as they really are, but, also, in all, their, ability, to spot, all, forms, of opportunity [social, political, and even, mostly, economic] [if only, one, could see, their, worlds/Realities, as, they really, are] [And in all, not what, the Media, wants you, to see].
