Jacques Lacan has developed the concepts the symbolic, real and imaginary order. This triad is extension of Freud’s triad of id, ego and super ego. But unlike Freud his interpretations are much wider in scope and dimensions. Human behavior in all societies can be investigated in the light of symbolic, real and imaginary order. Existence of symbolic order leads to the creation of undeclared constitution of what is considered a socially acceptable behavior and what not. How the characters in the…

unappeased, violence will accumulate until it overflows its confines and floods the surrounding area.” With the lack of rule of law, or the presence of the super-ego, which balances both the id and the ego, ‘Man’ will naturally turn to a savage or the id will dominate over the superego. (Wilson, 2014). Rules prevents the domination of the id and suppresses man’s evilness within his heart. Therefore, if rules become non-existent, balance and harmony will cease and humans will now show their evil…

Types of Psychology. Cognitive Psychology Cognitive Psychology is a fairy modern approach to human behaviour that is the scientific study of the mind as an information processor. Cognitive psychology is mainly that if we want to know what makes people tick then we need to understand the internal processes of their mind. It involves the study of the human mental processes and how they play a role in how we feel, how we think and the way we behave. This type of psychology focuses on how humans…

This theory was later revised and was re structured as the structural model as difficulties were raised. The structural model now consists of the “ID” (unconscious basic drives, present in the new-born) and the “super ego” (represents the conscience developed by living in a community) which are managed by the “ego” which places social constraints on both. Freud also discovered that every child undergoes the psycho-sexual stages. Experience of These stages are said to have a large…

Should We Pay Children for Getting Good Grades? Timmy Hodgeon was a very kind and respectful child, and he was known as “Generous Timmy” by his neighborhood’s people. Every day, Timmy would help his mother do house chores and volunteer in cleaning the neighborhood for the community. He would always think about others before even thinking about himself, and he would always think about giving rather than receiving. Timmy was the ideal child in the eyes of the people, but he had one problem. He…

Babies is a French documentary by Thomas Balmes that shows four different babies through their first year right after birth. While watching the movie “Babies”, I realized that around the globe babies are being brought up completely differently. Understanding that everyone’s background is completely different, some have limited resources and some have more than others. Whatever kind of equipment or usage they have to provide for the child, they use best. Some kids/children survive on their own…

Contemporary period is a big-mixed era in the world. Many materials and ideas all can put into music or art works. In this research paper, I will talk about the background of the contemporary era, composers of the contemporary period, the modernism and many different styles of music in this period. This piece I want to talk about, is the horn sonata, wrote by Paul Hindemith. This piece is a good piece to describe the music of the contemporary period because we still perform this at present, and…

Assessment 6 Adele McSorley In this essay I will define challenging behaviour, describe four different forms and discuss how psychological theories help understand individuals behaviours. For the purpose of this report I have renamed services users in line with the Data Protection act 1998 to ensure that they have complete anonymity. Challenging behaviour can be used to describe ‘problem behaviour’, or ‘socially unacceptable behaviour’. The term challenging behaviour reflects the fact that some…

theory can be confirmed, the more trivial and less scientific the theory is. An example he uses is Freudanism. When a parent strikes the child in anger confirms the Freudian’s belief in an id, while the parent who refrains from striking in anger instead confirms the Freudian’s belief in a counter-acting super-ego. The Freudian sees confirmation everywhere but this isn 't reason to think observation supports the theory. Instead, it’s reason to think the theory rules out nothing. More examples of…
