Anal retentive

general body meetings, my background in public speaking is also superb. As a junior in high school, I was selected to be the junior class representative in the 50th annual Oratorical Speaking Event. For this event, I was asked to prepare a 15 minute speech and deliver it to an audience of 600. I realized after my speech that I have no problem with public speaking. Seeing that public speaking is the number one fear in the United States, you have no need to worry because I will never feel uncomfortable delivering speeches to large audiences. The vice president’s main job is to ask as second in command and elevate the stress that is placed on the president. I believe that this position would also fit me well thanks to my near anal retentive scheduling habits. My father taught me from a young age, “If you 're early, you 're on time; if you 're on time, you 're late”. If our president ever needed my assistance on something that needed attention, you can guarantee that it will be done in a timely manner. I also like to think that if I have anything to contribute the association, it would have to be my extensive knowledge of the campus’s resources and application process for DPT programs. Along with my general knowledge, I also have many feet in many doors around the area so when the E-board is trying to find guest speakers I will be a great resource to help find qualified individuals to some speak to the group. One thing that I would like to change for next…

need social interaction to help reach self actualization. Social interaction is so important to humans. It improves a person’s well-being, but more importantly affects the immune system. A 2012 Internet article noted that the lack of social interaction can lead to the first signs of depression and anxiety. Knowing that we are important and valued by others is an important psychological factor in helping us forget certain negatives we experience day-to-day and looking at life through a more…

as well as the structure of personality, which is the Id, Ego, and Superego. I had not known about the preconscious, the id, or the superego prior to the section about Freud and his theory. What really intrigued me about Freud was his stages of development. I actually found that pretty disturbing, especially the Oedipus complex, which is harboring incestuous desires for the parent of the opposite gender, while having a rivalry with the parent of the same gender. I was kind of shocked how much…

problems related to the medical problems with my ears. I did not have trouble trying things, but I was known for being clumsy. I think this is where constant encouragement helped me to overcome some deficiencies. The important event in this stage is of course toilet training. My mother had trouble with my brother so she decided to leave it up to me a little more. The “Mine can do it!” theme is evident here as well. According to the stories, which I did not want to hear in the first place, I was…

while after, oral fixation will occur later in life characterized by frequent smoking or eating. Throughout all stages, timing is key otherwise an individual could develop to become perpetually dependent on others. Until age three, children are within the anal milestone in which they become soothed by defecating. Potty training is a conflict because being too relaxed during this time could make the child anal expulsive in which they are disorganized and messy. Strict potty training can result in…

oral activities such as suckling and tasting. Caregivers are responsible for feeding children at this stage and without optimal gratification, oral fixation occurs. Oral fixation makes individuals develop habits such as drinking, nail biting and smoking. Furthermore, oral fixation makes individuals develop dependent and aggressive personalities. The second stage of development according to the theory is the anal stage (Bornstein, Vandell & Rook, 2010). This stage lasts between one and three…

During the anal stage, Freud believed that the primary focus of the libido was on controlling bladder and bowel movements. The major conflict at this stage is toilet training--the child has to learn to control his or her bodily needs. Developing this control leads to a sense of accomplishment and independence. b. According to Freud,…

cow,’ or ‘how big was the jellyfish,’ her answers were always very creative, such as ‘the cow was green and yellow,’ and the jellyfish was ‘big like a dog.’ Kim is displaying concepts of Piaget’s theories of the Preoperational Stage. Kim’s “imagination flourishes and languages becomes a significant means of self-expression and social influence.” (Berger, 2014, pp. 46) In observing Kim, twice she lifted up her dress to show me her panties. Kim is almost completely potty trained and still gets…

The author explains how very common the HPV virus is, stating that almost ¾ of people will get the disease in their lifetime. Because it has the potential to lead to multiple cancers such as cervical, oral, and anal cancer, it is dangerous. However, due to the invention of the HPV vaccine, this disease and numerous cancers may be prevented. Giese states girls are targeted to receive the vaccine, but boys can also benefit from it because they can be equally susceptible to things such as oral…

felons that are openly available. In addition to Freud, Erik Erikson’s theories of human development can also be used to describe Bruce’s personality and behavior. One of the best ways to analyze Batman through Erikson’s theories is his psychosocial stages of personality development and the crisis that can happen within each of them. The first stage of Erikson’s theory is trust versus mistrust. In this stage, one can either be maladaptive, making them overly trusting, or malignant, making…
