History of psychology

Throughout my exploratory essay there was an objective tone instead of a subjective tone. This tone helped me write an efficient exploratory essay in which I include factual evidence and textual analysis towards the topic of segmented assimilation in which specific generations go through, as they adjust to a new culture and society. Instead of including emotions and my opinion on the situation, I had to use historical resources, via web or journals, such as social studies. The medium of this…

believe that naïve Paul Giganti from fifteen weeks ago only thought about using his history minor towards a career as a historian or archeologist! Looking back, the only part of my former reflection which still echoes is my confidence in the importance of history to society. This history careers course has opened my eyes up to understanding who I am as an individual as well as the wider range of possibilities for a history career. So within this reflection essay I will explain how the impact of…

When people hear the phrase “history repeats itself,” those who disagree argue that, by the definition of ‘repeat,’ it is impossible for history to precisely repeat. This is true, however, if you focus on ideology or sociology behind historical events, repetition is very common. Recurrence of history typically points back to broad patterns. “Another way to describe these patterns or relationships would be to describe them as cause and effect relationships” (Pegoda). These relationships are just…

Historical/ Biographical analysis is the most effective method that may be employed to examine Elia Kazan and Budd Schulberg’s play, On the Waterfront, in order to reveal what influenced the authors to create their art. The application of this method reveals several connections between reality and the play. The play’s plot follows the real-life story of the corruption on the New York Harbor, famously reported on by Malcolm Johnson. Characters in the play were also inspired by real people. The…

History is the actions that have been created in the past by people. We have learned that people can continue to do the right thing because of history. The quote from Aldous Huxley stating “that men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history” does not prove this. I disagree with this quote because we have created a better society by learning from the past. If we did not learn anything, we would have never gotten to where we are now.…

The values of a community are constantly changing as time passes. What is accepted as normal at one time could be seen as outrageous in another. The thing about history is that people in the present look into the past with their own thoughts on what the world must be like, so figures in history rarely remain evaluated as they are. Two historical figures that started off so similar but are seen as so different in the present day are Malinche and Pocahontas, both indigenous women who eventually…

Reflection John Christesen This section focusses on attempting to find out about history that way we don't commit similar errors for present and future. This chapter takes you on a visit through the history of research on media effects. It sparked an enthusiasm for the feeling that most research should be firmly comprehended of its advancement of time. As clearly portrayed on the section of research. Generally speaking history is one of those things I don't tend to look after. Neither did it…

I visited Mitchell Museum of the American Indian located at 3001 Central Street, Evanston, Illinois. Glancing through the outside of the museum, my impression was this is a pretty small building. I had a single story about the building; I thought I might have chosen the wrong museum to go to since it is small in size. However, as soon as I walked through the main door, I had a good feeling in a cozy building with full of American Indian artifacts, pottery, and native fashion. I was filled with…

With this same philosophical idea proposed by George Santayana, the study of our nation’s history and foreign policy efforts should be used as a lesson to guide any future behavior on how the United States should deal with the threat ISIS presents because of the clear thread that exists between the past and present. The same gap of communication and lack of understanding of different cultures, values and histories that brought destruction and instability during the Philippines-American War and…

Tour Speech Today I am going to tell you about the Betsy Ross House. The first American flag in history was made here. The building is 250 years old. It is a “bandbox” style house. It has one room per floor and a winding staircase leading from the cellar of the building to the upper levels. The house has a large window on the first floor which is great for displaying merchandise, and over the years the house was used as a home for shopkeepers and artisans. This happened for over 150 years.…
