Sigmund Freud
We live in a world today were everything has to be factual. We as a society need to completely understand everything that is going on around us at all times. We satisfy this need in many ways. From creating scientific formulas that will include every minute detail into its calculations to spending billions of dollars on research to make certain that we completely understand how the human body works. It has almost become and obsession to know everything. This quest for knowledge has helped out our society in many ways. Some of these ways include the invention of insulin or the ongoing search for a cure for cancer. But it also has had many degenerating effects on our world and our society. Included in this list are the over use of fossil fuels and the damaging affects that they have on our environment and the creation of the Atomic Bomb. But there are still many things that our society does not have the answer for. Many things that we have been attempting to understand for centuries. Even with centuries of study we still do not have enough knowledge on these subjects to know if we are heading in the right direction in our attempt to understand all. Looking at the study of space is a prime example of this. Yes the do know quit
Although he may have been one of the most influential men in the history of the study of the human mind, Sigmund Freud was most definatly not the first person to try and discover how the mind works. It seems that there has always been someone in some culture trying to figure out exactly how the human mind functions. Dating back hundreds of years there seems to have always been some sort of quest for knowledge and insight into the human mind. Unfortunately for Freud, the International Psychoanalytical Association disbanded a few years later due to the loss of two of its more influential members Jung and Adler. But this did not stop Freud's work. He continued to work on his analysis and his interpretation of dreams and thoughts. He also began his theories on the three parts of the mind. The Id, the Ego, and the Superego. Soon after his discoveries of the three parts of the human mind, he began to change his focus. Freud began to look more into religion, mythology, arts and literature. In 1923 Freud was stricken with cancer of the mouth. Due to his condition he worked mostly on his writings. Included in these writings was a revision of his theory on psychoanalysis. e a bit about the areas that are within vision of the aided eye. But what about outside of our vision? There could be worlds so far advance compared to us that we know absolutely nothing about. Or to steal an analogy from Biology teacher Mr. Cordukes our universe and surrounding universes could all be located in the pocket of a giant. Or that theory could even be reversed. For all we know every atom could be it's own galaxy. With the neutrons, protons and electrons as planets.
