“Go Ask Alice” The book I chose was “Go Ask Alice” by anonymous. It was published in March of 1971. There has been some controversy over the genera of the book, but it was classified as teen fiction, and has 215 pages. “Go Ask Alice” is about a teen girl whose name remains unknown throughout the book that gets mixed into the wrong group, and ends up addicted to drugs. She keeps a diary where she tells about all of her experiences, thoughts, and feeling, but the diary becomes her safe place,…

"I try to teach my heart not to want things it can't have." Alice Walker is one author that isn't afraid to be blunt with the readers, an author that doesn't sugar coat things that happened or things that can still happen even in today's world. Most people find her novel The Color Purple quiet awkward and disturbing. Alice Walker wasn't always good at writing or anything along those lines, until one of her many brothers had shot her in the eye with a BB gun causing her to go blind in that eye.…

He would graduate in the year 1738 and become an apprentice at law. While he was learning law he also picked up an interest in theology attending lectures at Edenburgh.

Defining Myth Many scholars interpret theories of myth differently. Because of the variety of tales told in myths, it is hard to narrow it down to one established definition. Its’ Greek origin suggests myths are stories narrated either by mouth or through other media such as art, drama, or music. For this reason, myths can be applied universally due to their broadness. Legends, folktales, and fairytales are often confused with myths and for that reason many who study mythology attempt to…

However, this was with the American People, threats to National Security were made and barriers in National Security were breached. According to Washington Post writers Bob Woodard and Carl Bernstein, “The American Presidency will never be the same.” “Thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not covet anything of thy neighbor, and thou shalt not bear false witness.” All of these scriptural rules were broken during the Watergate Scandal. Is…

investigated the Watergate scandal. The journalist uncovered the story and presented the facts that eventually led to President Nixon’s resignation. The investigative reporting was effective in the Watergate scandal because journalist Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein focused on why there was a break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters in D.C, and why those who worked under Nixon attempted to cover-up their involvement. Woodward and Bernstein spent majority of their time…

Most famously, Freud is accredited with his work published in 1900 The Interpretation of Dreams on dream analysis. Next, there was Carl Jung, who proposed another perspective giving people insight to the meaning of dreams. After years of research, psychologists have made significant progress in understanding why people dream, its function, and to some extent a more valid theory of what dreams mean. Freud “proposed that dreams provide a psychic safety valve that discharges otherwise unacceptable…

1. Is personality innate or learned? 2. Is personality conscious or unconscious? 3. Is personality influenced by interior or exterior factors? So, not only is the topic of personality complex, but it is also multi-faced, with theories both complementing and contradicting each other. To understand personality, is to understand the four major perspectives on it: Psychodynamic, Behavioral and Social Cognitive, Humanistic, and Trait. The psychodynamic perspective views personality as primarily…

Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud were both psychoanalysists and traveled together to the United States. (Introduction.) Their idea of the unconscious was different and they never came to an agreement. Freud thought the unconscious was biological and focused on the appearance of sexuality, while Jung thought the unconscious was human culture that was passed from generation to generation. (Olson and Hergenhahn, 2011.) I believe that Jung’s thoughts on how our unconscious processes and perceives…

Personality is a combination of a person’s continuous characteristics as he or she grows older. Different people have their own different personality. Everyone has different characteristics which contribute to their own unique personality. Psychologists Freud, Jung, and Skinner all had their own positions on the different aspects of personality. While I may choose one to be more credible than the others, I will also choose the one that will be of most value to me in my career. Sigmund Freud…
