OMG this is so cute.
This lesson contrasts two approaches to music and contexts. Archetypes are products of humanity’s collective unconscious. That is a way of understanding ourselves as a human collective.

Ethnicity, and by implication “Race,” are ways of seeing humanity according to differences. This type of defining is common in many ways of thinking where we define ourselves by what we are not.

The term "archetype" comes from one of the founders of psychology -- Carl K. Jung. His notion of archetypes outlines how our "collective unconscious" communicates with us through symbols, specifically through art, image, and of course music. One way of thinking of how ideas coalescence in music is to look at music that marks our lives, specifically those types of music that all human cultures have in common (common experience): Birth, coming of age, marriage, and death.

Birth = lullabies and kids songs
Coming of Age = love songs, "when I grow up I'm gonna get me a truck"
Marriage = wedding music
Death = dirges, funeral music, requiem masses
