Pierce College Worldview

Improved Essays
At my high school, the different backgrounds and upbringing were limited. At Pierce College, the demographic of students is rich in diversity.

At Pierce, I’m constantly surrounded by people who are hardworking and are pursuing great endeavors.

It is a very powerful feeling when someone shares their vision with me. My worldview continually expand as I continue my experience at Pierce College.

"We are so made, that we can only derive intense enjoyment from a contrast and only very little from a state of things." Freud said. The three state structures of the mind are the id, the ego, and the superego. The id emerges as the dominant trait of the three. It acts upon your physical need and desire for things of instant gratification. The superego is concerned with social rules, and beliefs. Associated with being your moral compass, it develops when you learned your culture has deemed right and wrong. Compared to the other structures, the ego is the rational, pragmatic part of our

    He holds his southern values close and has a conscience that allows him to have a strong sense of right or wrong; however, this also paralyses him often. The superego presents conflicts with the ego and the ideal will, between the internal and external world. There are strong parallels with Quentin Compson’s character and how Freud defines the superego.

The next parallel is that since he wants to be her lover, but doesn’t pursue her, he lies to his father claiming to have had intercourse with her.…

    The three parts of the human psyche are the superego, ego, and id. The superego is the part of the mind instructing one what is good, and what choices to avoid. The superego censors out bad decisions. The id is the part of the mind giving one the desire for everything that is bad. The ego is the person listening to the superego and the id. Basically, in modern cartoons when there is a girl with a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other, the angel is the superego, the devil is the id, and the girl is the ego. This theory fascinated many other psychologists, gaining Freud influence…

Cohesiveness grows more secure and less dependent in view of self-objects. Self-object needs “mature from needing a powerful all-protective parent to a parent who has admirable qualities that become the source for the formation of ideals” (p. 5).…

    Learning from and sharing with a diverse group of people is greater than that which is learned from like-minded individuals. To bring not only my own experiences but those outside of my community and share with other students is an exciting contribution I want to be a part of. It also means that I can continue to gain from various other cultures, interests, and perspectives that I have yet to be exposed to. I see myself at NCSU, not only expanding my knowledge by embracing new experiences offered by the diversity seen on campus, but also sharing my personal experiences from the diversity I have already encountered.…

    No single student has greatly influenced my life; however, looking at the collective achievements of the student body at The University of Texas at Austin inspires me to strive for greatness. Knowing what other students have accomplished motivates me to seek accomplishments of my own and let’s me know that pretty much anything is possible on campus. For instance, when I originally signaled my intention to dual major, all of the admission advisers I talked to said that was impossible for a Petroleum Engineer; however, after getting to know other people in my department, I have met numerous people in Petroleum Engineering double majors or minors who give me hope that my goal is possible. I hope to continue the legacy of positively influencing…

    When a person suffers from a mental disorder such as Anxiety, the ego signals that it is afraid of being overwhelmed by an all-powerful id (neurotic anxiety) or superego (moral anxiety). Therefore, it must mobilise its defences. Consequently, symptoms can result in it being even less likely that the true nature of the problem (underlying conflict) will be spotted. (Gross, 2010, p730) A strength of this theory is it explains the different parts of our minds.…
