...It’s the 21st of November and you are at the home stadium of Real Madrid for the el clasico. Fans cheer and sing the club anthem in this sense of pride and commitment to their respective teams. You begin to feel this surge of patriotism and worth of your very existence at this moment; what could possibly go wrong? A rampage of opposing fans? Projected Molotov cocktails? A potential black-eye? As crazy as it may sound, those were the potential outcomes of what was usually expected during the 1950s at a casual game of football, not by the fans, but by the infamous football hooligans, who are by far and large known as, ‘overzealous supporters’ (Wikipedia). The reasons for such shocking trial of events were mainly due to racism, sense of Identity with the team and, as petty as this may sound; issues with ticketing. Racism, being the ugly mark of human society, is still prevalent in this modern age. It doesn’t necessarily have to involve an occasional Rosa being forced to the back of the bus; but more of verbal slurs which lead to public display of violence. On the 12th of October, 2015, The Notorious fans of Israel’s Beitar Jerusalem football club are well known for shouting anti-arab slogans and throwing stones at Palastanian fans. Although there have been laws implemented to protect Palestanian fans and Arab players, atleast 25 Palestenian had been killed by the Israeli forces. As mentioned earlier, verbal offence towards a specific ethnicity especially when clubs are involved...

...Melissa is a nearly 30 year old, Caucasian woman who recently experienced divorce five months ago with her husband of three and a half years of marriage. She lives with her daughter, and is supporting their new lifestyle through waitressing, which she has done for approximately give years. Melissa informs Dr. Wachtel that she is encountering some obstacles in making changes to her current career path. She wants to quit her waitressing job, and pursue an experience more related to her school counseling degrees. She voices that her main concern that brought her to seek help in therapy is making the correct and informed choice about her career change because she worries about financial stability given that she is a single mother raising her daughter on her own. Though Melissa is quite explicit about her concerns about her career choices and the issues she hopes to resolve in therapy, it seems as if there are other underlying issues that are in her unconscious. As the session progressed, it seemed as if Melissa also wanted to address how her family dynamics with her immediate family is affecting her decisions. There are moments where it felt like she is looking for justification and support for the events that took place in her life and her decisions that may have led to those events. This is not just about her career change (or lack thereof), but other sudden changes like her divorce that resulted in a new lifestyle that Melissa does not necessarily want to shift for the time being...

...story through a psychoanalytic lens, a person uses the work of Sigmund Freud’s theories of psychology to interpret the text they are reading. Through the psychoanalytic lens, the reader is able to compare the characters of Harrison Bergeron to parts of a person’s personality, for example, Harrison Bergeron can be compared to the Id, George can be compared to the ego, and the Handicapper general can be compared to the Superego. The Id runs on the pleasure principle whose goal is to increase pleasure and decrease pain, like the Id, Harrison’s goal is to break free of the handicaps that he is forced to wear in order to increase the quality of his life. The Id is the basic storehouse for human’s basic needs and drives. Harrison contains such an incredibly strong drive that it causes him to make irrational decisions. One can say that Harrison even suffers from cathexis because of his obsession with rebellion. Similar to the Id, Harrison does not learn from its mistakes. When Harrison...

...Essay on hooliganism In this essay I will discuss why hooliganism exist, what makes a person become a hooligan and what characterizes a hooligan and hooliganism as a whole? They hunt in packs like wolves, fueled by drugs, hooked on violence. Some are as young as 15. They make a plan to arrange showdowns against other rival ''firms'' at agreed locations. This is a quotation from the French documentary ''Fucking Hooligans''. But why does hooliganism exist in general, there are a lot of reason to it, but the main ones are mentioned. In the text ''Among the Thugs'' and the film ''Fucking hooligans'' it expresses the lifestyle of a group of lads who have a lot of things in common. They drink a lot, smoke a lot and foremost they love to fight, the typical formula for a hooligan. They're the most dangerous. They're the ones who start most of the fights.(p.4-l.12-13). The hooligan culture is not just a culture for some people but a bond between brothers, or in other words it is another family for them. There are plenty of reasons why ''someone'' becomes a hooligan. People normally become involved through two ways, either through friends and family or their choice of a new lifestyle. The main reason why people decide to become a hooligan is that it is just fun when it kick's off. It's an adrenaline thing, you cannot get that kind of buzz through anything else. But half the time it's not even about fighting, it is about being around your mates, having a laugh on a match day and...

...Powerful moments of stillness can lead us to a true understanding of self, but to understand who we are we must look at what makes us unique as an individual human being. In Gwen Harwood’s “Alter Ego” she is at peace with the world and lives and breathes music. Her views are often overlooked in modern day society, but she remains true to the fact that she believes that we never really have a full understanding of our identity. Opposing this in Tim Winton’s “Land’s Edge” his true self resides in the ocean, a place where he feels most at home, his Australian coastal background, his main influence of his sense of identity. Both composers examine the moments of stillness in our lives and how it is only then that we truly get a glimpse or a sense of who we are. In “Alter ego” Harwood describes the alter ego as a part of herself that has intimate and complete knowledge of her yet acknowledges that her conscious mind does not have a complete and full understanding of this ‘other self’. Harwood uses the rhyming of the first, third and fourth line in the first stanza to add a flowing effect or enjambment, this flowing effect also reflects Harwood’s love of music and piano playing as she is an accomplished pianist. Music is an integral part of Harwood’s ‘other self’ and is used as a motif in Alter ego. Throughout the poem she portrays her two selves as the spiritual and the physical parts of herself, she also uses first person language to create a voice for the physical persona of herself...

...Id, Ego, and Superego As with personality theories, Freud’s theory and other psychoanalytic theories may be difficult to test and prove in court. Analyze Freud’s theory and discuss the impact that it has on the development of criminal behavior. What roles do the Id, Ego, and Superego play in problematic behavior, and what influence do defensive mechanisms have on the development of criminal behavior? Discuss the pros and cons of Freud’s theory and how you feel it would hold up in court. Sigmund Freud’s tripartite model of self that separates the human mind into id, ego and superego. This model replicates the method where the ego and superego help to regulate and suppress id urges. Id The id is present at birth and is the make-up of the personality that functions to the same degree to the pleasure notion. According to Freud, dysfunctional personality and behavior comes from the failure of the superego to control the inappropriate inclination of the id. “The restraints that the ego and superego place on the id create aggression and resentment that is directed against the self and manifests in disorder and maladaptive conduct” (DeLisi, 2013). Ego The ego grows from the id and is the part of the personality that can change to the restrictions of the real world, dealing with problem solving aspects of the personality that set it apart from fantasy to reality. “As children develop and realize that life comprises more than simple pleasure gratification, they...

...to help propel a business forward including Riordan. Many consider VoIP to be a new technology that has provided new uses for telephone systems. It has seen much technological advancement since its inception. In the past, one gave little consideration to transporting voice over data circuits. One currently treats voice traffic, because of its high growth rate, as an important application to be given special consideration. VoIP is a natural progression and has changed how consumers and business use the telephone system. (voip.com, 2006). The voice switches allow connection to analog lines providing a 10/100 Base Twisted Pair (TP) Ethernet connection.

...Where Is Your ID Going Where Has Your Superego Been? Connie, the main character in Carol Oates’ short story, “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been” is a self conscious teenage girl with a quirky personality. Her condescending mother constantly measures her up against her older sister June, which leads to resentment and tension between Connie and her otherwise admirable sister. On a night out with her friend, Connie has a strange encounter with a boy at a drive in restaurant which introduces the personified Freudian struggle between the ID, Ego, and Superego. First, it is necessary to comprehend how Connie’s family is the personification of the Freudian Superego. By simply relating the characteristics used to describe each family member to the concept of a Superego, the reader can condense their apparent individuality into this definitive Freudian ideal. June, a twenty-four year old still living and working from her parents home, serves as an example of low-risk and conservative decision making. Early in the story Oates writes, “June did this, June did that, she saved money and helped clean the house and cooked and Connie couldn't do a thing, her mind was all filled with trashy daydreams” (Oates, 1), which provides supporting evidence in proving June’s...

In addition, while Henry was waiting in line to buy a pack of cigarettes at the gas station, he was acting impatient and became indignant, blaring at the employee causing him to get shot.

...The mind is a very complex thing to try and comprehend; you also never really know what it is capable of either. Many people usually act one certain way with their id controlling them for the most part, or the superego. In Regarding Henry, Henry Turner was a well-known lawyer in New York City that has a reputation for always winning his cases no matter the people who got hurt in the process. Turner, for the majority of his life, the id controlled his life, until a very unfortunate event occurred where he lost his memory. People can argue either way in which what his natural state was, but I believe that he defiantly is a mixture of both. The id of the brain is a more impulsive, pleasurable side of the personality. Many say that it...
