Perceiving the Norm as a Fairy tale Narrative Through Patterns in Culture

 

Abstract

Introduction. Throughout his life, a person strives to know the truth, however, choosing the path of formation and affirmation of life priorities and ideas, which occurs through a personal choice, projected ideal – fabulous by society. The choice of one’s identity as reality is in the pursuit of achieving the highest good in the category of cognition of the world through overcoming and conforming to one’s inner Self. This aspect is expressed in the value system of society and the individual, and also affects gender stereotypes of conformity to good/evil.

Materials and Methods. Various fields of humanitarian knowledge and their interdisciplinary approaches were used. Using the cultural categories of an ethnic group, it is possible to identify and unify a unique interpretation of the fairy tale as a historical narrative of psychological knowledge. The integrative approach made it possible to identify the existing reasons for the individual’s need to immerse himself in the historical and social unique reality.

Results. The presented work is based on the analytical result of a study aimed at understanding the unique “ethnic code” in the fairy tale. This aspect allows us to talk about the fixation of fairy-tale meaning as an idea in the social paradigm of the existence of ethnic culture as a postulate of reality and truth.

Discussion and Conclusion. Further study of the perception of fairy tale narratives in everyday life is necessary. It is precisely the development of “one’s own hero” as a response to a person’s time that shapes the demand for the outcome of an activity as the ultimate aspiration for the ideal, i.e., a timeless emotional and logical ideal.

Keywords: culture, society, personality, fairy tales, truth, reality, ethnicity.
