A psychology class within my school conducted a project to see students’ reaction to a person who was unconscious in the middle of the hallway. As one student, who was a part of the project, was screaming for help, students were not taking out their phones to call the police but to record.

A kind and sympathetic attitude toward other people, especially when they are suffering is the denotation for humanity and as
“I know there are a lot of things that I can’t understand but I still want my life to have meaning.” Temple Grandin, Mick Jackson (2010). Born on August 29, 1947 in Boston, Massachusetts to parents, Richard Grandin and Eustacia Cutler, Temple was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder at a very young age after her mother noticed certain discrepancies with her development and behavior compared to that of her adolescent peers. Initially blamed by physicians to be the cause of Temple’s disorder Eustacia
seems pretty crazy... unless it's not. Are we all suffering like mass hysteria like Montag, holding it in until we burst? Is our race just a bunch of ticking time bombs waiting to detonate one at a time? No one shows emotion so it must be true. Psychology today certainly agrees saying,” Boys are sissies if they show pain, fear… crying”, (www.Psychologytoday.com).

Modern psychology defines this state of sublimation as workaholism; accordingly, Jonathan does not see his obsession with work as a choice, but subconsciously perceives it as a duty. 10SP The more explicit scene for the Freudian analysis is presented in the chapter
Carl Jung, the father of the archetype and analytical psychology, had many theories. Two of these theories are shadow and persona. The theory of shadow states that all of mankind has a dark side. This part of us consists of primitive, negative, socially unacceptable human characteristics. Think of lust, selfishness, and savagery. ("Carl Jung - Archetypes - Shadow") Carl Jung says the shadow is “that hidden, repressed, guilt-laden personality…” (Diamond) Persona, however, is the mask we put on when

In 1947, Orval Hobart Mowrer established the two-process model to explain how phobias are developed, which psychologists still use today. It uses two segments of behavioural psychology; Classical Conditioning and Operant Conditioning. The first stage, Classical Conditioning, looks at how association between the unconditioned stimulus and the unconditioned response leads to a phobia. One case that exemplifies this stage is in the case of Little Albert and the White Rat. Before classical conditioning
