What Are The Archetypes And The Collective Unconscious
Archetypes and the collective unconscious is the controversial and it is likely the most difficult parts to understand (Frager & Fediman, 2005). In addition to this, as a result of lack of scientific evidence for the concept of “collective unconsciousness (archetypes), these parts are the most criticised parts of his theory.

    Maybe he did so because he didn't want them to have the benefits the rings provided them considering they destroyed them afterwards and also because it weakened Klaus. I'm not sure how much they weakened Klaus but for him to be ranting about that it must've been a bit bad. Either way I do think he could've defended himself regardless. Klaus seemed like he was having an orgasming everytime they took the rings off haha! Although like you said they could've just killed their asses while the sun was still shining and did the same thing.…

    Throughout history, myths and stories have been around to help define the way that people and things react with one another in certain situations. These relations create patterns that help to explain why people do similar actions to those of faraway lands that have a completely different lifestyle. These are represented through many stories throughout cultures all across the world. These patterns that we develop are called archetypes. An archetype is defined as “a typical character, an action or a situation that seems to represent such universal patterns of human nature” (Taylor 3). According to the psychologist Carl Jung, mankind possesses a “collective unconscious” that contains these archetypes and these are common to all of humanity. Archetypal…

    Society is an incredibly powerful social phenomenon that is influential from the moment of birth. Taking on the challenge of changing even a small microcosm of society such as the ward in Ken Keseys “One Flew Over the Cuckoos’ Nest” is a futile task for a single person. Society is structured as such that those who inhibit it are nurtured to be perfect individuals, complicit and expected to conform to the rules. Breaking the pattern, as seen with the struggles of characters such as Billy Bibbit, Dale Harding and Randle McMurphy, can be viewed as a herculean task. The deep-rooted and dangerous effects of uniformity on the human brain can be seen in childhood and beyond, clearly shown with Chief Bromden’s past and present. Breaking such norms…

    Social influences shape every person's practices, judgments, and beliefs. (Asch 306) In "Opinions and Social Pressure", Solomon Asch examines how individuals tend to conform to a group or majority. He does this by explaining the results of his experiment that he devised to observe to what extent conformity occurs. In her essay titled "Group Minds", Doris Lessing claims that as a society we have enough knowledge about conformity to do something about it, yet we choose not to. Although Doris Lessing and Solomon Asch both suggest that people desire independence yet yield to conformity, Asch's experiment adds specificity to Lessing's claims. Lessing speaks generally about groups and the effect they have on conformity, whereas Asch's experiment examines different types of group scenarios in order to better understand the human psyche; the idea of social conformity is farther complicated by chosen and assigned groups.…

    Among the further theoretical challenges pointed out by Garcia-Canclini, I would like to highlight the need “to elaborate, well beyond the Marxist conception of consciousness as reflection and the behaviourist stimulus-response scheme, a theory of how hegemony becomes rooted in everyday life, interiorizing social structures in subjects, converting them into unconscious dispositions, basic schemes of perceptoin, thought, and action, habitus (as Bourdieu put it) that organize the needs of subjects so that they might be congruent with social reprodution (p.…

    The author does a really good job getting her point across throughout the paper. "When were in a group, we tend to think as that group does:" She also brings up the fact of joining a group to find people like ourselves, but that group might start to change our opinions or views. Another interesting point is the experiment that is brought up. The experiment had to do with two boards at different lengths but the lengths were not easily noticeable. A group of a few people would be instructed that the boards were the same and they would argue in favor of this. A pair of people wouldn't be instructed and would find out for themselves that the boards aren't the same.…

    Behind Carl Jung’s personality types theory are his concepts of the structure and dynamics of the human psyche. He proposed in a similar vein to his contemporary Sigmund Freud, that the human psyche comprised of different interrelating systems. The first system is that of the ‘ego’ which principally the conscious mind is. Close by to the ego is the ‘personal unconscious’, which includes anything which is not presently conscious, but can be. The personal unconscious holds all the individuals unique experiences and memories which can be brought into the conscious when needed. Lying behind the ‘personal unconscious’ is the ‘collective unconcious’ which contains ‘archetypes’ which are forms or symbols that are manifested by everyone across all sociieties and cultures. The collective unconcious according to Jung is something that all humans were born with and yet are never conscious of.…

    There are many different types of archetypes, but I am solely going to focus on one, mine. I am of the innocent archetype and I believe it is a very important part to who I am. The traits of an innocent archetype are blissful yet dark if you see it through my eyes. There's fear of abandonment, desire to be loved, and the ability to control emotion when you need to. This has led me into a life that I am living now.…
