motives, their analysis needs to not only take into consideration of these aspects, but they need to be explicit about their research position and interest (Van Dijk, 2001a, Wodak and Meyer, 2009, Van Dijk, 2001b). Sharing the same goal with Critical theory, CDA’s critical epistemic knowledge about the world helps and enables us as language users to be aware of and emancipate ourselves from any forms of dominances and power abuse through self-reflection. And that is one of the ultimate goals…

Berry discussed acculturation on the individual level and stated that even despite there being overall changes within a group, individuals’ changes might vary significantly as a part of these collective changes. The theory emphasizes factors prior and during the process of acculturation (pre-arrival and post-arrival) as well as highlights group and cultural (i.e. political context) and social/psychological (social factors, language proficiency) variables that influence the acculturation…

The process of integrative group therapy comes from the recognition that no single theory on its own can be effectively in group counseling to benefit each individual participating in the group. Therefore, group counseling must include a combination of cognitive and behavioral techniques because I believe that no single theory has all the answers. An Integrative approach to group counseling can be a necessary advantage for a leader to relate to each person with in the group. Norcross and Beutler…

Jung was a supporter of Freud mainly because of their shared interest in the unconscious. To many psychologists, Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung defined the world of psychology. Though differing, their theories had a great impact on our perception of the human mind. Their contributions to practice and theory have led to the growth of successful psychological treatments for the broad range of human distress. However, their paths were not so different from the beginning. But the existing power…

In his book, Religion: What It Is, How It Works, and Why It Matters, Richard Smith wants to shift the common debate on religion from it concepts to its standing in reality. From the onset, Smith makes it clear that he wants to analyze the nature of religious beliefs and practices, as well as approach religion from a theoretical standpoint. With this stance, he hopes that his book will be used as a tool for readers to gain an explanation for any religion. With the heterogeneous nature of religion…

on theory; however, theory should dictate every decision social workers make. Perspectives for practice include the well-known theories of psychodynamic and systems, as well as lesser-known perspectives such as existential. Though some theoretical perspectives are better suited for either a micro or macro setting only, social workers should possess a diverse and readily available knowledge of theories to aid their work in any setting. This expanded repertoire (of many, but not all theories)…

personality theories was when he was scolded by his father for urinating in his parent’s bedroom. His father told him that nothing will become of him and Freud would often have recurring dreams of this with him answering that he has become something in spite of this. This event likely shaped Freud’s view on how big of a role the unconscious part of a person plays in shaping personality and how important dream analysis is. Another event from Freud’s childhood that shaped his personality…

It is a social theory where individuals socially construct reality. Constructivism’s main point is that material factors only take on meaning when we give them meaning. This means that things like terrorism matter because we allow it to matter. In constructivism, the social…

more different. The major difference between the two is that Plato is a more rationalist and spiritual approach whilst Aristotle is more empirical and material. This causes many rationalists and empiricists to critique the other and so both their theories end up having critics and supporters. In general, Aristotle’s views are more relatable and accessible to everyone than Plato’s due to the fact that they do not require a belief in a transcendent world and so therefore it is more favourable, as…
