I am working on new art work where we are looking to interview people who want to talk about their response to Dan Laidlers video: Our Animalistic System of Respect. Reason why I decided to do this work is because I think Dan Laidler talks about a lot of real issues in this video that are not talked about, and it seems a lot people are ignoring or not acknowledging points of this video. On a human level that we all are on, is it not our responsibility to take care of our environment and surroundings, life will feel more uncomfortable the less attention we pay to details.
We need all sorts of people to get involved, we need to know what you you think of Dan Laidlers's video: Our Animalistic System of Respect. If you are interested in participating: you can participate via email by answering following questions and emailing them to ihtgw@hotmail.com
Your name?
What do you do?
What's your opinion of video: Our Animalistic System of Respect?
Your website or contact details and would you want this information to show in final project?
OR

I think the way in which we understand respect has become confused. What criteria does a person have to tick in order for us to seem them as someone we should respect? It seems all they need do is enter a televised house or be the daughter of some lost legend. These people have become the leaders, whilst the everyday Joe becomes the submissive follower. The boundaries of what is good, what is bad and what is ugly has become distorted. Instead we should be looking to what criteria really should be ticked in order to become a person of a respect. For me personally, I find older people to be my leaders: they are my fashion icons. But perhaps within their peers there is a force of pressure to look like a ‘granny.’ Perhaps no-one is really free of conforming to one true and free identity. I think what Dan Laidler says is very true and if we were all to just let ourselves be free and inspired by our own heritages and likes and dislikes, rather than that of others, perhaps life, art and fashion would be far more true and exciting.
