Freedom or imprisonment

- Fight, flight or film it- a modern take on a primeval instinct

About Freedom or imprisonment

Has our "Fight or flight" response been compromised or overridden? In this book we explore "film it", the response of many to remain in situ and record situations unfolding before them. How has our "fight or flight" response been impacted by an instinctive response to record. We seek to understand how choice is determined and the impact on our self is affected through the screen. The book observes this phenomenon from the perspective of those present experiencing and acting upon there natural instinct; those present but a step further away viewing through a screen; and, importantly, those receiving that image from a posting. Do we experience a sense of freedom or imprisonment when presented with scenarios that challenge our perceptions? Chapters within the book explore how the different realities of situations we witness, whether present or not, can lead to flawed reasoning. Do we face an existential threat to our sense of self through our ever increasing reliance on the phone as the tool we turn to in any given situation. .
