Comparing Jung's Theories And Belief

515 Words3 Pages

Jung’s theories vary, some of them are true and some of them are hard to believe, even though they have some truth to them, they are not 100% true. For example, according to Thomason “To Jung the Indians he met appeared to be tranquil and dignified, which Jung attributed to their belief that (as Mountain Lake explained) through their religious practice, they helped the sun cross the sky every day. Jung believed this belief and practice served the function of making the Indians' lives cosmologically meaningful.” But even though Jung believed this was true, humans cannot make or help the sun cross the sky. However, Jung’s theory on archetypes says that people are born hardwire which some people can agree to it “But what is the archetype? An innate …show more content…

Yes, sometimes people should think with their feelings and think about one another, but at the same time there is a reason why people say “think with your head” instead of “think with your feelings”. Now days there is no such thing as gods, we do not make self-sacrifices, and we do not sacrifice others; when a tropical storm comes we do not dance outside to pray to the rain god, instead we actually think with our heads and do things rationally. In the other hand, the archetype theory is more realistic and/or believable, the parents have a lot to do on a child’s life even when unborn; if a kid have good parents he or she typically will be a good person, professional, and with a good future, but if the parents are not a good influence, the child will not fall far from the tree. Kids inherit things from their parents and personality is one of them; kids tend to be like their parents whether that’s a good or bad thing. So, the archetype are real in a way, kids are born hardwired, but not to the extent on which they will be something specific more like a path to what they will be in the

Although some inherent distinctions between the sexes exist, Orenstein mentions Eliot’s findings on neuroplasticity to suggest that nurture supersedes nature in determining a child’s behavior. A child is most impressionable during the earliest stages of life, when his or her brain is still developing. That is why learning various concepts such as language, for example, is most easily acquired before the age of puberty. Thus, an individual’s upbringing is fundamental in the development of traits and therefore, gender

Carl Jung, born in 1875 in Switzerland, was a successor of Sigmund Freud, who is well known for his input on the human psyche. Jung collaborated but disagreed with Freud on some occasions--one being “the sexual basis of neuroses” (“Carl Jung”). He developed several of his own ideas: animus and anima--or the inner persona of masculinity/femininity--; shadow-- “that hidden, repressed, for the most part inferior and guilt-laden personality . . . If it has been believed hitherto that the human shadow was the source of evil, it can now be ascertained on closer investigation that the unconscious man, that is his shadow does not consist only of morally reprehensible tendencies, but also displays a number of good qualities, such as normal instincts, appropriate reactions, realistic insights, creative impulses etc”--; the spirit that has spiritual needs different to religious and physical needs; the “conception of introverts and extroverts and the notion that people can be categorized as one of the two, depending on the extent to which they exhibit certain functions of consciousness”; mythical archetypes in literature that lead to his idea of the collective conscious; et cetera (“Jung's Archetypes”; Perry; Clark; “Carl Jung”).

Freud's theories and research methods were controversial during his life and still are today, but few dispute his tremenWhat I understood by archetypes is that they are inborn behavior tendencies which shape the human behavior. Jung main archetypes are not 'types' in the way that each person may be classified as one or the other. Rather, we each have all basic archetypes within us. They are based in the observation of differing but repeating patterns of thought and action that re-appear time and again across people and different places, like in the form of some old myth, symbols, etc.

Nietzsche’s influence extended beyond philosophy to psychology. Notably, Sigmund Freud, the architect of psychoanalysis and analytic psychology founder, Carl Jung are said to be influenced by Nietzsche’s work (Brians, 1998). Although Nietzsche’s work left impressions on several other twentieth century psychologists, including Alfred Adler, Abraham Maslow and Ayn Rand, for the purpose of this essay the effect on Freud and Jung’s work will be in primary focus. Jung was fascinated by Nietzsche and his work. From Jung’s student days to him being a pioneer in the psychoanalytic movement, Jung read and developed his own thoughts regarding Nietzsche’s ideas and work (Rensma, 2012).

The Skinner box was one of Skinner’s most famous experiments and it fulfilled the goals of psychology, which are to describe, explain, predict and control behavior. In contrast, Freud’s theory of human behavior is not scientific. The theory was formulated basing on Freud’s observations of his patients overtime. It cannot be replicated making it impossible to prove the existence of such constructs as the id, ego or superego. Freud also believed that human behavior has biological bases influenced by the id. Although he failed to prove that human behavior has biological bases, he believed that it would be proven in time.

The nature vs. nurture debate centers on whether human behaviour and personality are inherited (nature) or acquired (nurture); in other words, whether a person’s environment or a person’s genetic inheritance determines their behaviour and personality. Goldsmith and Harman (1994) adopt a neutral position, in which both nature and nurture influence people, stating that they “believe that the fundamental issue concerns the interplay between characteristics of the individual and of the relationship” (54). Goldsmith and Harman discuss temperament and attachment for infant, with temperament being linked to the nature side of the debate and attachment being linked with the nurture side; as a result, the infant’s temperament influences the attachment bond between the infant and the mother, but the attachment bond influences the temperament of the child as well. Therefore, both nature and nurture interact with each other to produce people’s behaviour (Harman et al. 54). Andersen and Berk (1998) take on the nurture perspective, while Leary (1999) claims that nature is the determining factor of a person’s personality.
