Comparing Sigmund Freud and Alfred Adler
[ send me this paper ]
This 8 page report discusses two of the most noted pioneers in the fields of psychoanalytic psychology. Sigmund Freud’s influence throughout the past century has served to shape a great deal of the attitudes and beliefs of Western society. But it is important to understand that Freud was not alone in his contribution to the realm of psychology and understanding the development of the human personality and spirit, as well as how people interact with one another. Alfred Adler (1870–1937) also proposed theories and ideas that have been incorporated in the mainstream of present-day theory and practice of psychology and psychopathology. This paper compares their points of view regarding a number of issues. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Comparing the “Oedipus Complex” with the “Electra Complex”
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page report discusses the idea that a child is fascinated, obsessed even, with the parent of the opposite sex has served as a literary and psychological debate since, literally, ancient times. Freud saw this as a universal part of childhood development, which in most children is resolved during late childhood. For Freud, the beginnings of the Oedipus complex are the same for males and females. They love their mother because she satisfies their needs, and they hate their father because he competes for the mother's attention and love. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Compensation in Terms of Maslow
[ send me this paper ]
A 15 page paper discussing compensation and job analysis in terms of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. The paper provides a thorough discussion of each of Maslow’s five hierarchical levels to conclude that the organization that can remain cognizant of Maslow's hierarchy of needs when designing or altering its compensation schedules can expect to be better able to define levels at which its employees operate. Compensation certainly is a part of the total employment package, but it is not the largest part. According to Maslow, people seek to belong to the organization and then realize their own potential. When the employee is able to find this path at work, then the organization for which s/he works benefits as well. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Concepts and Analysis of Stephen J. Gould’s Essay “Dolly’s Fashion and Louis’s Passion”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 4 page paper discussing Gould’s essay “Dolly’s Fashion and Louis’s Passion”. Anthropologist Stephen J. Gould questions in his essay “Dolly’s Fashion and Louis’s Passion” (2000) man’s presumed need to always present components within the world in categories and dichotomies. He argues that human life is filled with such “foibles” and conflicts as firstly “our need to create order in a complex world begets our worst mental habit: dichotomy” and second that “many deep questions about our loves and livelihood, and fates of nations, truly have no answers”. One of the most prevalent dichotomies which seems to annoy Gould the most and which leads man down many false paths is that of the “nature versus nurture” debate; or the “genetic versus environmental sources of human abilities and behaviors”. The fact this question is always an “either-or dichotomy verges on the nonsensical” according to Gould. He then proceeds to highlight two particular modern readings in which the scientific perspective (nature) is presented but the environmental (nurture) perspective is ignored because of today’s preference for the scientific theory. Despite the current trend of today, Gould and some educators do not ignore the centuries of debate which have also discussed the nurture component and more importantly for Gould, readers should be aware that this debate (and others) should not be considered as “either-or”.
