religion as an important aspect of human life. Freud in Illusion touches on things that to some may be an unquestionable truths; a meaning of life‚ a reason to be a good citizen - a good human being. Freud strips religion of its “holiness” but not of its power over a culture and a human life.

Reflection on Jung typology and DISC Index I enjoyed taking both surveys in order to learn more about myself. When the results came out‚ I don’t really agree with it because I did not like what it said about me.
