    During high school, I worked part time as a player attendant at the local country club golf course. During my time there, I formed a relationship with a member who later became a very important mentor of mine. Late into my senior year, he suggested I look into Investment Banking and loaned me his favorite book, Den of Thieves. The book was thick, nearly 600 pages, but told the story of Michael Milken and the insider trading of the 1980’s perfectly. As a high school senior with little business knowledge, I understood maybe 50% of the content, but the book sparked my initial interest in banking. Pursuing this interest, I found the booth for the Investment Banking Club at the Kelley Carnival and eagerly signed-up. Through attending the meetings…

    The theory of psychosexual development, proposed by Sigmund Freud, states that successful completion of the 5 psychosexual stages (oral, anal, phallic, latency and genital stages) results in a healthy personality. A newborn baby is born with psychosexual energy or libido. The child's libido centers on behavior affecting the primary erogenous zone (mouth, anus, genitals) of his age; he cannot focus on the primary erogenous zone of the next stage without resolving the developmental conflict of the immediate one . At each stage little libido is deposited, the stage is resolved and the child moves on to the next stage. Overindulgence in a stage is called fixation, where a large amount of libido is deposited. The child becomes fixated at that stage until he is able to resolve it and move on to the next. Fixating on a particular stage, determines the method of obtaining satisfaction that will dominate and affect his adult personality .…

    Freud’s theory of psychosexual development is based on erogenous zones which are important stages of development. According to the theory, there are five stages throughout one’s life: Oral phase, anal phase, phallic phase, latency phase, and genital stage. Each stage is involved in particular conflicts that must be resolved before moving on to the next stage of development. All the stages have two things in common: each stage has their own comfort and pleasure source. Freud believes one’s experience during early stages of growth decides their change patterns and personality traits in adulthood. Based on Freud’s theory, study of my own growth and development will show and explain each stage I have been through and resolved each stage before moving onto the next stage.…

    Intersex in Humans

    From the day of birth the majority of humanity is taught that we are split into two categories: male and female. As a child, it may be hard to understand otherwise, and these two genders serve specific roles in society. But as one grows older they find that there are people who try to break one barrier and go into another and some with reason enough because they were born differently, and their genes dictate that they are neither 100 % male nor 100% female. With people that don’t understand this concept, the infant born this way may be forced to be one gender and not the other, despite their physical attributes. Variables that cause intersex in humans arise before birth in the persons’ development, and this may cause social problems that one will have to cope with.…

    While studying Sigmund Freud, he states that personality is mostly established by the early age of five. Many early experiences play a large role in personality development of a growing child and continue to influence their behavior later in life. Freud’s theory of psychosexual development is one of the most known and controversial theories. Freud is known to believe that personality is developed through the different stages of childhood, where the pleasure seeking energies of id, the irrational part of personality that seeks immediate satisfaction of urges and drives, becomes focused on certain erogenous areas. This psychosexual energy is described as the force behind behavior.…

    Freud is known as the father of psychology. Although some of his work has been dismissed, most of it still holds weight in the world of psychology today. Freud believed that inner forces fueled human development. He believed the most powerful of all inner forces was our sexual being. Freud linked everything with sex. This includes any bodily pleasure whatsoever. Thus, when Freud discusses the sexual needs of children, they are not the Hartenstine 2 same kind of sexual needs that an adult would experience. Children experienced sexual gratification in different ways. Sucking their thumbs or retaining their excrement could be seen as sexual gratification for small children. Freud also specified certain areas of our body as erogenous zones. Those areas included the mouth and genitals. This all fit in to Freud's obsession with sex. An obsession that could be linked to the era that Freud lived in. It was a very conservative period in history. Sexual feelings were often repressed. Freud's theory on human development could be labeled the psychosexual stages of development. Freud believed human beings passed through different stages in their life based on which part of their body gratified them. Freud's psychosexual stages of development are five in total. The Oral stage takes place from birth to about one year. During this stage, a child is orally oriented. The mouth is the child's erogenous zone. Everything a child touches is put in his mouth. Freud believes children do this because it gives them pleasure. When a child sucks his thumb, it does so because it gratifies them. According to Freud, the gratification is sexual. The second stage in Freud's psychosexual development theory takes place between the ages of two and three years of age. The erogenous zone shifts location, thus moving from one stage to another. The second erogenous zone in Freud's stages of human development is the anal region. Freud believes children Hartenstine 3 experience sexual gratification during…
