Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novel, Crime and Punishment, riddles its characters with physical, sexual, and psychological violence. Thomas C. Foster asserts in the chapter “More than it’s Going to Hurt You: Concerning Violence” of How to Read Literature like a Professor that no violence exists for its own sake; Rather, violence is useful in contributing to the novel’s overall message. Crime and Punishment is powerful demonstrating the control of conscience, guilt and otherwise, over the life of man. Quite typically violence erupts due to a sick combination of id and ego. The relationship between Semyon Zaharovitch Marmeladov, a town drunk of St. Petersburg, and his children and spouse, Katerina Ivanovna, is built upon a myriad of violence catalyzed by guilt. This relationship is the quintessence of lives tyrannized by guilt resulting in a vicious circle of ferocity.…
Psychoanalysis theory first came to be around the late 1800’s, discovered by the renowned theorist Sigmund Freud, also known as the father of the theory. Freud was born in Moravia in 1856; he studied under Charcot in Paris for a while, eventually starting a private practice in Vienna, being forced to leave by the Nazis, because he was Jewish. His concept developed from people who were considered to be hysteric, being burnt and ridiculed, because they were seen as lazy and deviant. Later on in the 19th century, theorists began to grasp an understanding of the mental illness and termed it as neuropathology, which evolved into Psychoanalysis. This theory sought to treat mental disorders by investigating interactions amongst the conscious and…
Mr. Chiu is a young, confident lecturer at Harbin University who just got married and is returning home from his honeymoon. When a tea cup came flying in his direction, Mr. Chiu assumes it was being thrown at him or his wife. As an educated, young professional Mr. Chiu has the nerve to confront the local authority figures who he thought had slighted him and his wife. He uses his education and language to portray the officers as the villains and wrong-doers in front of a crowd of people. When he is arrested and brought before the Chief of the Investigation Bureau, he continues the tirade he was not allowed to finish on the street. He also interrupts the one person who had real control over his freedom and proceeds to use his education as a verbal weapon against the authority figure. Even when Mr. Chiu was told that he had no evidence, no witnesses in his favor and shown the written statements of witnesses there at the scene, Mr. Chiu vehemently continues his argument in a disrespectful manner. The authorities may or may not have handled the initial confrontation poorly but after this barrage…
In 1902, Adler was one of those invited to attend some small, casual seminars with Freud. Although his views were somewhat different from those of the Freudian psychoanalysts, he remained a member of the group for a number of years. But by 1911, the disagreements between Freud and Adler had become heated and emotionally intense; Adler resigned from his position as president of the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society (as the group had come to be called) and ended all contact with it. The debates with the domineering Freud and other members of the group had, however, helped Adler think through his own emerging theory of personality. He soon started his own society, called the Society for Free Psychoanalysis (later changed to the Society for Individual Psychology).…
Within the first scenes of “Maus”, Art depicts a prominent memory from his childhood that strongly represents the tension between his father and himself. After being left behind by his friends, a young Art returns to his father crying. Instead of simply comforting Art, Vladek replies, “Friends? Your friends? If you lock them together in a room with no food for a week…Then you could see what it is, friends!” (I.6). While Art’s situation may pale in comparison to the adversity that…
The main genre idea of the production is to create an authentic Gangster production about two different gangs selling drugs for money.

The audience can gain an understanding of how some Gangsters life's actually are in real life.…
Psychoanalysis plus family therapy is the study of individuals and their deepest motives combines with the study of social relationships to help a person solve inner conflict(s). The history of Psychoanalytic Family Therapy can be found as early as the 1930s. The six pioneers of family therapy are Nathan Ackerman, Murray Bowen, Ivan Boxzormenyi-Nagy, Carl Whitaker, Don Jackson and Salvador Minuchin. They were all psychoanalytically trained, but some turned away from the old psychodynamics approach and toward the new systems-dynamics approach. Jackson and Minuchin moved far away from looking at their psychoanalytic roots. Bowen and Boszormenyi-Nagy retained analytical influences in their work. Ackerman maintained the strongest allegiance to psychoanalysis.…

In the novel, The Kite Runner written by Khaled Hosseini and the film Tsotsi written by Athol Furgard, many similarities can be found. Both stories include the inner battle that people face throughout their life, the meaning of bravery and what brotherhood truly represents. In today's society, people find it difficult to perceive their values and what they believe in. The inner battle isn't the only concept that the novel and the movie share, but many more parallel ideas will be revealed through themes. Very few would believe that the pureness of flying kites and the criminality associated with gangs could somehow be so similar. Although these stories were written nearly a decade ago, they are still able to accurately depict what life in Afghanistan and South Africa are like today.…

Blood is thicker than water, but sometimes pride is thicker than both. Such is the case with James Hurst's "The Scarlet Ibis." This dramatic story starts out as the narrator of the story known to be “brother” has a recollection of his past when his younger brother Doodle was still alive. The narrator tells readers how everyone believed that Doodle would be crippled both mentally and physically after birth. However, Doodle is a normal human being mentally, but has some difficulties physically. Brother wants Doodle to become a “normal” boy, so he teaches him practically all the activities any boy Doodle’s age would do. One day, Doodle and brother were playing in the fields. A large storm came and both of them had to run home before it was coming down too hard for them to handle. Doodle started running after his brother, but couldn’t withstand the rain, and eventually, his stamina died down and he had to rest. Brother felt incensed by Doodles lack of stamina and deserted him. A few minutes later, Brother discovered Doodle under a tree, blood trickling from his mouth, dead. We see an evident theme of death and sadness exhibited throughout the story. In the short story “The Scarlet Ibis” by James Hurst, it illustrates how pride can disrupt ones judgment when interacting with an individual.…
