The complex narrative structure of The Heart of a Dog, as Schneider rightly observes, can be incorporated into the reading for a ‘range of interpretations’. Building upon his examination of the ‘close association between character and narrative style’, an argument can be brought forward that the novella gives rise to criticism of how the ‘Other’ – in this case, the animal – is treated. It is important to understand how the narrative changes are achieved through the shifting of diegetic level…

The book “Disenchantment” by Catherine D. Chatterley visits the life of George Steiner and his works throughout the years. George Steiner spent his life exploring the arts of the language and its uses to explain different human phenomena. This essay will examine Steiner’s theory of antisemitism and his understanding of the Shoah. To fully understand Steiner’s views on the Shoah and his blackmail of transcendence theory, there is a need to understand Steiner’s fundamental views on Jewish…

Neural activity is defined as the interactions and processes that occur in the brain due to internal and external stimuli, giving rise to psychological function. Carl Jung’s (2014) model of typology identifies four basic psychological functions; thinking, feeling, sensation and intuition. Jung (2014) states that, “Sensation establishes what is actually present, thinking enables us to recognize its meaning, feeling tells us its value, and intuition points to possibilities, giving outlook and…

In this essay I will be discussing J.B. Watson’s theory. This involves looking at Watson’s view of psychology being the “control and prediction of behavior” (Crain, 1992, p.157). Watson then being a behaviourist will further be explored to see how this impacts his focus in his studies. It also involves looking at the three innate emotions that Watson said that he could condition into people. This will then lead to exploring how Watson uses the emotion of fear to then condition Little Albert to…

Applied behavior analysis is a field that relies on research to support interventions that are chosen for clients that are served. The interventions that are controversial and raise concerns are those that are punishment procedures (DiGennaro Reed & Lovett, 2008). It is important to always combine reinforcement with punishment procedures in the event that it must be utilized and should be the least restrictive punishment procedure (Miltenberger, 2012). A variety of peer reviewed research…

Emotional Intelligence is a driving force that has become extremely relevant over the last twenty years. The concept was coined as early as 1966 and tested later on the 1990’s when researchers developed ways to test this idea. Emotional intelligence or, “EI”, is the awareness of our feelings that drives humans and animals to act in a certain manner, essentially controlling what they do and how they react to certain situations. Not only has the concept overtaken peoples’ personal lives but has…

Each contribution made to psychology has helped the world understand the way the mind works and how our behavior is affected when trauma or positive reinforcements occur. Skinner, Freud, Maslow, and Carl Rogers all contributed either to the behavioral, the psychoanalysis or the humanistic perspective. Skinner focuses on Operant Conditioning – reinforcements that affect whether behavior reoccurs. Freud believes that the first five years are important to an adult’s personality as well as improving…

It is part of human nature to make mistakes and sometimes learn and grow from them, or sometimes repeat them. In “Dr. Heidegger’s Experiment” by Nathaniel Hawthorne, the main themes of youth, new beginnings, wisdom, self image, and repetition of mistakes are exemplified through the use of symbols through the character’s perspective of themselves and their environment. The characters; Mr.Medbourne, Colonel Killigrew, Mr.Gascoigne, and Widow Wycherly are prime examples of people repeating mistakes…
