In English, we were tasked to create a brainstorm drawing of connections between the movies we have watched or read. I have chosen the texts Frankestein, Blade Runner, Ex Machina and Be Right Back; I think that these 4 texts are connected the most and the easiest to write about.
What is it?
The ship of Theseus is a philosophical idea that questions how identities are identified. The theory had 3 parts. The first idea is replacing the parts of the ship of Theseus over the years. Second is using the parts from the ship of Theseus to create two new boats. Lastly, if a part of the ship is taken and broken. Are they all still the ship of Theseus?
What do you think the answer/solution is? Is there one?
I think there is no right or wrong solution but the answer depends on people's beliefs. In my opinion, all three scenarios are still the Ship of Theseus although some parts may change, the aspect of the ship is still present.
Does this relate to our human identify? How so?
In a way it does. We often hear the phrase "people change" and that is completely true. Despite having people's "planks" change they're still considered the same.
