Why is that which is important and significant for one person - words, actions, events, is perceived by others as indifferent? Are there unifying concepts of significance and where does the boundary of objectivity end and the subjectivity of the interested individual begins?
The concept of significance in general
The significance of something for a person cannot be attributed to individual preferences, since far from all the decisive events in our lives, or people whose importance we have to recognize, belong to something that is carefully stored in the heart. The significant (which means, highlighted by an aura of importance) retains this status only for a strictly defined period and cannot serve as an eternal concept. An exception is the imposition of a person’s personal inclinations on environmental factors.
What does it mean? Let's give an example - love. Since childhood, a child loves its parents, and the significance of these people for him responds to sincere affection and is a direct need of a growing person. But as they grow older and gain a new object of adoration, the initial importance of parents fades into the background. On this, the second plan, as well as on the third, fourth and so on, there are already a lot of people and events with similar status, but belonging to the category of short-term ascension to this level. It can be: a strict teacher, a football match on Saturday, test.
Naturally, as events cease to be relevant, their significance also disappears.
Subjective and species assessment of significance
What does a significant event mean for a person? First of all, this is its own benefit. Importance simply cannot exist by itself without evaluating a compensatory criterion that compensates for all the experiences and possible sacrifices involved.
A simple example: tomorrow a student is assigned an algebraic exam, and if he does not get a good mark, a general grade mark will not allow him to study further. The results of the exam are of great current importance for him, because at stake is further study, education, a prestigious position. In order to get a decent mark, the student is ready not to sleep, to miss a date, to refuse computer games. On his part, this is a sacrifice, but the significance of an upcoming event prevails over the ability to rest.
We see in the example above, a sample of subjective analysis, where the individual independently determined the day that is significant for him in all respects of importance. However, the significance may be specific. And you can understand what a significant event means on a universal scale, remembering the hysteria hanging over the planet about the end of the world in the recent past.
Classification of significance
The built-up multi-level staircase of individually significant phenomena for a person obeys the general principle according to the degree of satisfaction of immediate and indirect needs. Significance is determined by the following categories:
- By the degree of immediate and secondary importance - in order to bathe, you need water - soap, shampoos, etc. are important only for the implementation of actions in this water.
- By the degree of conditionality and unconditionality - in order to survive, I need air, and having a car is nice, but not necessary.
- In terms of timeliness and potentiality - I want to have a tight dinner now, but I know that if I get hungry later, there are fruits in the refrigerator.
- According to the degree of positive and negative perception, it is soon a long-awaited vacation, but the working week before it is littered with routine work.
- According to the degree of true need and imaginary - for the winter you need to buy a jacket or I just need the seventh dress.
We repeat, in any of the named values, the decisive moment of the choice is the benefit - material, aesthetic, emotional or other plan.
Significance Analysis
The intensity of the desire to achieve the goal determines the level of significance. But here there is an aspect of the physiological or psycho-emotional fact of the desired, which means the needs of the body or soul. The needs of the body, related to many significant aspects, are always unconsciously brought to the first level.
In general, desire is a controversial thing regarding the importance of true, since often the subjectivity of the assessment fails the person, substituting false needs under the guise of primary. Hardly 70% of our desires are able to survive a sober analysis to determine the need.
Morphemic parsing - definition of significant parts of a word
Significance in Russian written language is indicated by morphemic analysis of the word in parts. The least significant parts of the word are the prefix, root, suffix and ending:
- The root determines the structure of the word and its basic basis. There are single-root and multi-root words, as well as auxiliary parts of speech formed by one root.
- The prefix and suffix refer to word-forming morphemes that change the semantic load of the word.
- The ending forms the word in such a way that it successfully matches with other words in the sentence.
Gaming Significant Events
A significant event in the game genre determines the storyline of the entire game. Since games come in several forms of presentation (for example, realistic art type or technical minimalism), the conventions of their significant moment are limited by the nature of the graphics.
In games with a claim to life details, where the hero takes a shower in the morning, and all the characters have names, the plot-significant actions are based on the growth of events, the disclosure of the secrets and inner world of the characters. The peak of significance is the moments of the player’s independent decision, on which the course of further play depends.
