Carl Jung came up with the idea of collective unconscious. He said this is part of the unconscious mind dealing with the nervous system. It basically is saying that everyone has a sense of certain things. For example everyone knows there is love even if they have never personally experienced it before. or also religion. Some people don't have a religion but still know they are out there and understand the concepts even though they have never experienced it. Carl Jung also discovered Archetypes witch is a model of a person, it is their person, personality or behaviors. These are copied in every individual. This is part of the collective unconscious but more specific.This is more saying that everyone know of super hero's and knows that they are good. These are also memory traces.
Alfred Adler said that every child is inferior because they are surrounded by stronger more capable adults. The child wants to have power and when they don't accomplish a goal they have inferiority complex. A child has this also if they are rejected discriminated, bullied or have physical disability.
Karen Honey studied woman vs. men. She did not believe in penis envy but came up with the theory of womb envy. She said that woman are dependent on men not because of the penis envy but for love, wealth, care and protection. She based this off of society. She decided that woman can satisfy themselves by giving birth. Karen concluded that men wanted to be a mother and therefor envied woman. The only reason men are stronger then woman in her eyes was because men treat woman bad and become more dominate and then make the woman feel unworthy.

IDs, Egos, and Superegos

Today in class we discussed how everyone has an ID, Ego and Superego. I found this all very interesting. In every situation you are in these come into play. When you think about a situation you were in today or a decision you had to make there was always different options you could have chosen. The ID voice in your head is always the bad voice, like the devil on your shoulder telling you what you want, while the superego is telling you what is the right thing to do and how you were raised by your parents to act. You are the ego and have to decide what to do. Just think about it for a secound. Pick a decsion you had to make today and remember what you were thinking while dicideing what to do. While you  think of it im sure you can pick out what the ID and superego was. ID ego and superegoSigmund Freud came up with this theory and a lot of other theory's that aren't always true. This video i found does a good job explaining the IDs, egos and superegos. The video is a little old and cheeses but kinda funny with it being so old and trying to be serious. If you watch it closer to the end it talks a lot about what we discussed in class today with what men want.
