is one of the best. The qualities of sensational leaders are firm commitment to and exponentially growth in the cause they are fighting, lack of progress without their presence, and vivid memories and praise even after they pass. Martin Luther King, Jr. possessed impressive leadership qualities. Not only Americans but also citizens of other countries still look to his ideas for inspiration. He was the most courageous and dedicated leader during the civil rights struggle, and his leadership impacted millions.
Running Head: COMPARISON OF THEORISTS Comparison of Theorists Emma Jolley Grand Canyon University: PSY 255 March 3, 2013 Comparison of Theorists One of the most profound contributors to the science of Psychology was Seymund Freud. His work has withstood the test of time as being some of the most prolific, profound, though provoking, and astounding work of anyone in the history of psychology; however, not everyone agreed with all his concepts or everything he theorized. There were other contributors who utilized his work as a starting point for their own investigations and research into different areas of personality psychology. This paper will compare and contrast the work and theories of: Jung, Adler, Horney, and Erikson with the work and concepts of Freud. At the conclusion of this paper the reader will have a clear understanding of the work of all these theorists and the contributions they made to society.
Washburn was fortunate to be tutored by to great structuralist figures in psychology such as Cattell and Titchener. Washburn received many awards and honors, most recognizable being her nomination as president of the American Psychological Association in 1921. Ironically, she was placed on Cattell’s list of the “1000 most important men in science” and received many gifts and rewards from her colleagues and students. Washburn made important contributions to the field of psychology with publication of The Animal Mind, the only comparative psychology textbook used in classrooms for several decades, as well as her attempts to join different schools of thought in psychology. Margaret Floy Washburn was born in New York City, New York on July 25, 1871.
This paper is a brief description of the important figures in the history of psychology and the three major levels of analysis in psychology. Important Figures in the History of Psychology Philosophers’ thinking about thinking started from 300 B.C.E with Aristotle and continued until the birth of psychology, as we know it. With activities ranging from the study of nerve cell activity to the study of international conflicts, psychology is not easily defined and these discoveries were made from some very interesting philosophers. (Myers, 2011) In the 2002 study ranking the 99 most eminent psychologists of the 20th century, B.F. Skinner topped the list. Skinner's staunch behaviorism made him a dominating force in psychology and therapy techniques based on his theories are still used extensively today, including behavior modification and token economies.
His biggest work to the world of psychology is classical conditioning, a theory about how behavior is learned. He received a Nobel price for his important and fundamental contribution to science. Pavlov was a behaviorist. This means that his theories focused on observable behavior, because behavior can be measured and thought can not. The human mind should be interpreted as a black box that can not be opened.
Quayshawn Nealy Date: 10/30/12 Critical Paper Pub The model the way theory as described by the Kouzes and Posner’s five practices of Exemplary Leadership is a perfect example of how Ray Lewis uses his celebrity in a positive way to inspire and help others. Ray Lewis has been an intimidating force to be reckoned with in the National Football League since he was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in 1996 (www.historyking.com). Lewis has been deemed as one of the best and most dominant linebackers of all time (www.historyking.com), and his records throughout the years justify the previous statement. “Athletes have a unique and powerful position to influence people,” said Mori Taheripour, a senior advisor for sports development, during a panel on Sports & Social Impact at the 2011 Ivy Sports Symposium at Wharton in November (kwhs.wharton.upenn.edu). With the increasing number of fans that tune in to watch NFL games every week, it is no surprise that athletes like Lewis are looked to in a special way by those that admire them, and the fact that most Lewis and other friends in the league choose to do positive things with their fame means a lot to those they help.
Critical Thinking Application MGT 350 September 26, 2011 Barry Haigh Critical Thinking Application “Thinking is the highest mental activity present in man. All human achievements and progress are simply the products of thought. The evolution of culture, art, literature, science and technology are all the results of thinking” (Raghunathan, 2001). “Good critical thinking is skillful and responsible thinking in which you study the problem from all angels, and then exercise your best judgment to draw conclusions” (Sies, 2007). Critical thinking has an effect on all aspects of life in every component; as a parent, as a professional, as a spouse, and as a student.
Shanice Addison General Psychology 1101 Deeper Exploration #4 April 1, 2013 The Truth behind the 10% Myth Over the years many people have developed theories on how they think the brain works, and the most popular one of them all is the idea that people only use ten percent of their brain. Yes, our brain is a complex and mysterious structure that process conscious and unconscious thoughts, but that doesn’t mean that we only use ten percent of our brain. The idea that we use ten percent of our brain is widespread between psychology students, well-educated people, and even some neuroscientist (Lilienfeld, Lynn, Ruscio, & Beyerstein, 2010, p. 21). Psychologists and neuroscientists have spent time and effort showing that this myth cannot be possible. The sources of this myth are word of mouth, desire for easy answers and quick fix, but most of all it was spread through misleading films and media portrayals (Lilienfeld, Lynn, Ruscio, & Beyerstein, 2010, p. 9).

102C G10 Mindy A Meeting with Ravel. When I was asked which historical figure I would most like to meet, a great number of people immediately jumped into my head. The first person I want to meet is Albert Einstein because everyone knows he is a great person who developed the general theory of relativity, and he was also famous for his mass energy equivalence formula E=mc2. I wonder what he really looks like and why he could come up with so many excellent theories at that time. The second one is Vincent Willem van Gogh because I like some of his paintings very much.
