Sigmund Freud on Personality Theories and the Influence Today Abstract I chose this topic because of my interest in personality theories, introduced by Sigmund Freud. I was eager to explore the theories and methods that help determine a person’s personality. I will explain Sigmund Freud’s basic concepts of personality theories and how upbringing, genetics, and culture can influence one’s personality. Sigmund Freud was one of the most famous psychologists who helped make the conscious mind versus unconscious mind note worthy. The conscious mind represents the events in which you are aware of during points of time in a day.
The sub-conscious, acts on its own accord; as it not only thinks independently, but it also acts independently as well (Freud, 2002, revised Ed.). Contrary to the conscious and sub-conscious, the pre-conscious mind consists all things of which we are aware of in full, and in their entirety, even though we are not presently attentive to them (Freud, 2002, revised Ed.). Freud described the psychoanalytic theory as if all humans possessed three major components of our personality. The Id, the ego, and the superego were the names he labeled these components of the human personality. The Id, according to Freud, consist of all of our primitive drives and operates mainly according to what the Id considers to be the principle of pleasure at the time, which is the first component of the theory.
The so-called metaphoric content is none other than a reflection of the author's inner psyche in which the neurotic author uses literature as a form of sublimation (Freud, 150). As Dr. Mary Klages writes in her essay Psychoanalysis and Sigmund Freud, "…psychoanalysis asks us to pay a lot of attention to LANGUAGE, in puns, slips of the tongue…etc. This suggests how psychoanalysis is directly related to literary criticism since both kinds of analysis focus on close readings of language" (2). Hence, literature is none other than a reflection of the author's dreams (Fish, 2). And dreams, according to Sigmund Freud in The Interpretation of Dreams, are merely a reflection of a person's sub consciousness (9-12).
1. How do Eckert & McConnell-Ginet define the phonological level of language? What is an example of a phonological feature that we generally think of as (perhaps stereotypically) signifying a particular gendered way of speaking? (You can either use the example given by the authors or provide your own.) The phonological level of language in the reading is defined as a level of language that structures the units of sound (or of gesture in the case of signed language) that constitute linguistic form.
When analyzing a book through the psychological lens, you must juxtapose the book itself with Sigmund Freud’s theory of the Id, the Ego, and the Super-ego. The Id is most easily described as the “sub-conscious” or the instinctive part of the human psyche. The Id is where most of the pleasure sensations originate. The Ego is the most well known. It is the conscious part of the brain, knows as the decision-making part.

"See the cat? See the cradle?" retorts the midget Newt in an attempt to explain the inspiration for a grotesque and confounding painting of his. This singular quote is the namesake for Kurt Vonnegut's novel Cat's Cradle, and embodies the leitmotif of this tongue-in-cheek canon on religion, sex, politics, and everything in between. In the years following its publication, Vonnegut's novel became fodder for the counterculture movement of the 1960's because it countered the restrictive societal norms of mainstream culture.
Emma Culloty BIRMI2A 11 Evaluate the extent to which Freud’s theory of psychosexual development can help us to understand a Client’s presenting issue. Freud’s theory of psychosexual development is a theory that has caused a large amount of debate and can be seen as quite a contentious issue, particularly when using this theory to try and understand a client’s presenting issue. This essay will look into Freud’s psychosexual theory and will describe how it relates to adult neurotic behaviour. The essay will then look at the critiques of Carl Jung and Erich Fromm and will look at the ideas surrounding Jung’s collective consciousness and Fromm’s view based on a sociological perspective, where the person is able to decide for them and how problems can arise for a client when this does not happen. This essay will also look at the role of women and homosexuality and discuss whether Freud’s views where based on a cultural prejudice when he devised the psychosexual theory.
This theory was invented by Sigmund Freud, a psychiatrist and hypnotic expert of the late 1800s and early 1900's. The id is the unconscious desires of the human personality that strive to satisfy basic sexual and aggressive desires. The superego is the more realistic view and Taylor Shea, Communication and Graphic Design ‘08 According to Robert Connors (1984) in Essays on Classical Rhetoric and Modern Discourse, “The traditional function of rhetoric in western culture has been to provide a theory of composition and communication for oral and written discourse” (p. 89). Classical rhetoric was understood as a technique of persuasion through oral, visual, and written language; however, contemporary rhetoric includes the analysis of written and visual texts. Contemporary rhetoric is influenced not only by ancient rhetorical theory, but also by the behavioral sciences and theories of literary criticism.
In Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities, many scenes are deciphered towards the end of the novel. He uses the literary device of foreshadowing to help relate different scenes to each other. Book Two of the novel portrays this aspect; many scenes in this section have relation to the last scene. Two scenes in particular that lead to the culmination of the novel, are Carton professing his love for Lucie, and Darnay getting acquitted. Later events in the novel relate back to Book Two.
