REFLECTION 12:- FREUD

Freud’s work is considered important in today’s world because he did his studies long ago and his name is a household name. Freud is known for is hard work and his excellent explanation on Psychoanalysis. Freud was the first individual to do this research. Because this man had so much evidence to back the work he has done, most individuals believe it is true and important. On the other hand, individuals think it is important but they do not agree with this concept because of reasons such as beliefs, values, attitudes and ones culture. They more than likely think it is important because as a baby you have to grow and go through stages. This is of course the most important portion in a person’s life. Looking at all the articles about this individual, I think he is frankly a cool person. He has interesting facts and many experiments to back his assumptions. He is on the other hand frank about what he has to say. For example, he gets to the point as quickly as possible and never tries to dress it up in no way. He makes you believe that everything is normal and every person in this world has to go through these stages. Freud has a great emphasis on sex when he explained the psycho-developmental stage. To me that was somewhat weird how sex is related to feeding and potty training an infant. After reading these articles, it explained how infants get pleasure from activities we consider minute or possibly gross. Freud explains that from the day you were born until you grow into adulthood you have thoughts of sexual activities. Society teaches children that this is somewhat wrong while he proved that it is natural and acceptable. I think Freud’s theory should be taught in schools because it gives you as an individual an open mind about things that you were possibly taught of as wrong and it may change the world into a better place.
