Psychology.
So far, psychology is really making me think farther than what we read in a textbook, or hear from Mr. Dreier. When we learn new concepts, I think about if it applies to myself, if I've ever given in to unconscious drives without realizing it, or how my behavior relates to the different behavioral perspectives. This class makes me think about real life situations, instead of (for example) those really lame ones your read in math books. It goes deeper than that, I have to think about my mind and how I react to certain things.
Concepts.
Collective unconscious archetypes. Archetypes are the structure, themes, of the collective unconscious. Relationships and views are based on the archetypes. An example, one of the most important archetypes is self. Based on a person's being, their wholeness.
Inferiority complex. Often unconscious, the inferiority complex is the thought of being inferior to others. A state of discouragement. Beginning at parental upbringing, defects (physical or mental), social disadvantages, etc. The state of feeling this way could lead to great success or great failure.
Woman v. Men Psychoanalysis. Karen Horney believed that penis envy rarely occured in women, and that it would occur just as often as men might feel womb envy; their drive for work and success makes up for their inability to bear and nurture children.
