Animal spirits in Economics

This concept was first introduced by John Maynard Keynes used in his 1936 book in The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money to describe the instincts, proclivities and emotions that ostensibly influence and guide human behavior, and which can be measured in terms of, for example, consumer confidence. It has since been argued that trust is also included in or produced by “animal spirits”.

Conventional economic analysis confines itself to rational, quantifiable facts. However, economic decision makers are often intuitive, emotional and irrational. John Maynard Keynes coined the term “animal spirits” to refer to emotional mindsets. Confidence or lack of it can drive or hamper economic growth. – ET

You know music is the best therapy, without any medication and special treatments which will help us heal our wounds, obviously not the physical ones..! Those which kills you internally. When people fails to understand you then music becomes your vibing partner which changes the mood for quite sometime. Not just the sadistic or sentimental mood but, the joyous moments which can be expressed through music. When you feel too shy to express your emotions music can help you put it before them(helps in proposing ; ) Music taste differs from person to person, everyone have their own playlist which vibes accordingly. You cannot ask one to vibe through your sense of music…! Being it party bummer or a post breakup story…every mood can be sorted through it. Being a music lover one can have the great taste in music, but what they do is they listens to the song on loop which turns out to loose interest and catch on another song. Irrespective of language barriers the music serves great..you need not to understand the lyrics always..sometimes the rhythm, the tuning, the instruments will take you along with them to the different fantasy world beyond the nasty reality.

Speaking about Hindi songs and English songs. According to me the emotions which are put into the song with the true feelings can be felt through hindi songs. Not just through hindi but other than hindi which is spoken in India. Hindi songs are well known to express emotion in the better way! One can feel the emotion and the expression used behind the songs. The popularity of hindi songs in foreign countries are as high as english songs have here in India. Even the English songs are dope. The craze of english songs is increasing with the matter of two subjects either to look cool or they are genuinely interested in listening. There are many songs which vibe well with our personality, and gives you wonderful and meaningful song with the beautiful tunes and sound tracks into it.

Sometimes hindi songs bring trash songs, which are disastrous..which gives utter disappointment as a music lover. Even the english songs are made that way. Both the languages has their best and worst songs. We cannot judge through the language. Sometimes you just need to take the song as it is, as the art has no meaning and is deemed to see as it is shown not always but basically.

Hindi songs are coming up with the remix versions of old songs which are being destructive. Even some songs have the worst lyrics which makes no sense at all and looks hilarious while listening. And then they are poured with hate and nasty statements everywhere over the remixes, worst lyricism, copying of english songs and their tunes here in India. Other side are english songs who didn’t plagiarize the songs, tunes or music strategies of others as far as i know. They make fresh contents. Music is scared. It does not have any colour, language, religion or physique. So enjoy the beauty of the song and try to criticise less. It takes lots of struggle…not as of Ananya pandey but some real struggle as of Sidhant chaturvedi(just a meme material..don’t get offended).

Ps:- Some of my personal favourites songs both hindi and english put up randomly.

1- Dil chahta hai

2- Humraah

3- Chale aana

4- We don’t talk anymore

The compound qualities of “dignity” and “greatness” pervade Stevens’s thoughts throughout the novel “The Remains of the Day.” Early in the novel, Stevens discusses the qualities that make a butler “great,” claiming that “dignity” is the essential ingredient of greatness. He illustrates the concept with a number of examples, finally concluding that dignity “has to do crucially with a butler’s ability not to abandon the professional being he inhabits. “Professional principles are the driving force in James Stevens’s life. Over decades of service, he has immersed himself in his profession, dedicating his existence to the principles of dignity, duty, and loyalty. His ultimate goal is to be recognized as a “great” butler.
Dignity is foremost among the principles which Stevens links to greatness in a butler. It requires placing service to his master above all else and binding his own destiny to his master’s. Dignity requires restraint; to not “run about screaming” at the slightest hint of trouble. It demands he wear his professionalism “as a decent gentleman will wear his suit,” taking it off only when he wishes to do so and in privacy, when he is entirely alone. However, once Stevens achieves this level of dignity, it leaves no room for intimacy and separates him from his humanity. All ability to bestow or receive human warmth is blocked. In the presence of others, he must always deny and displace his real feelings.
Again, devotion to the principle of duty becomes the outward expression of Stevens’s struggle for dignity and greatness. He works hard to please his employer and takes pride in his subservience. When he stoically carries out his duties during the great conference of 1923 while his father is upstairs dying, Stevens experiences “a large sense of triumph” at the end of it all. In the face of everything, he had displayed dignity worthy of a great butler. Similarly, he feels a sense of triumph on the evening he loses Miss Kenton forever because he has submissively served his lordship well, “in a manner even my father might have been proud of.”
Loyalty is linked to duty and according to Stevens it is another aspect of greatness. Loyalty as an unquestioned principle does not permit Stevens to examine the actions of Lord Darlington as his lordship becomes deeply mired in international affairs. He stubbornly represses any feelings of curiosity or doubt, trusting in his lordship’s good judgment. In his desire for greatness, Stevens dedicates his loyalty to a gentleman whom he perceives to have fine and noble intentions. This blind loyalty, which Stevens believes he has “intelligently bestowed,” proves ruinous and casts doubt on the life path he has taken.
The art of bantering is something Stevens lacks, but it is a skill he wants to improve. Bantering is a theme which holds the novel together, as well as making the novel more comical, and throughout the story Stevens practices bantering. A good example of it is when he meets the locals at the pub the Coach and Horses in Taunton, Somerset (p. 138) This is where the lack of Stevens bantering-skills becomes obvious. The conversation(p. 138) ends up with Stevens expressing his feelings of disappointment as the reaction to his apparent witticism he recieved from the locals was not what he had hoped for .
The art of bantering can also be connected to the theme of butlers and dignity. This is because that if Stevens learns the art of bantering he may please his master Mr. Farraday, and it will make Stevens more professional, according to Stevens himself and his image of ‘the perfect butler’. During the journey Stevens undergoes personal change, and bantering has a great deal of importance for the processes. He considers the modification necessary for his employment as well as a significant pre-requisite for his profession.
Another detail of importance is the fact that the theme bantering opens up as well as ends the novel. In the beginnig of the nove Stevens and Mr Farraday are having a light conversation. As they speak of Miss Kenton, Mr Farraday involves witticism and Stevens reaction is total embarrassment. Stevens is not used to those kind of words from his employer, though he says: ‘The most embarrassing situation, one in which Lord Darlington would never have placed an employee’. At the end of the novel though, Stevens sees the bantering as a start of his future life. Stevens makes the conclusion of bantering as the solution of pleasing his master and becoming the ‘perfect’ butler.
Bantering provides an element of lightness and humor in the narrative, yet it is still one that ultimately demonstrates the degree to which Stevens has become an anachronism. Stevens repeatedly tells of various failed attempts at bantering, and muses over why Americans like his new employer, Mr. Farraday, like to speak in such a casual and seemingly meaningless manner. By the end of the novel, Stevens cedes that perhaps bantering can be a way to exhibit warmth, and he resolves to try again with renewed zeal. The fact that Stevens uses the word “bantering” instead of “joking around” or “sense of humor” in itself shows how old-fashioned and formal he is.
