Explain CHC theory

Suppose there are two countries named Woody and Sweety. Recently, the government of Woody has placed many restrictions upon the use of the language of Sweety within their borders.

Woody government also claimed that culture of Sweety is really strange and Sweety should follow Woody’s way to do business.

What are the possible reasons for Woody government to place restrictions on use of Sweety language. The argument of Woody government is vulnerable to criticism. Please discuss

What barriers to strategic thinking discussed by Paul and Elder (2012) do you see in the workplace? What practical steps would you suggest to overcome these?

Psychology of Personality and Freud Theory

Part 1: Engage in a discussion of the following.   Please be thorough and generous with your thoughts.

To understand the Freudian/Psychodynamic notion of ‘defensiveness’, you have to understand the nature of anxiety as seen from this perspective. So, according to the psychodynamic view, where does anxiety come from? What are the three sources, or types, of anxiety?

When anxiety is present, what is the basic idea regarding “ego-defense”? What does the ego do to defend from these threats?

Are these conscious processes? Please discuss – if so, why? If not, why not?

What basic characteristics do all defense mechanisms share?

Would the ability to distort reality (to fool yourself) be a generally adaptive or maladaptive human attribute (or both). Do the benefits outweigh the costs? Justify your answer.

Part 2: Discuss the following specific defense mechanisms. For each, give a basic definition (in your own words). Then, provide a plausible real-life example of each and reflect on what you find interesting or provocative.

Repression

Regression

Denial

Projection

Displacement

Reaction Formation

Sublimation

Part 3: Freud (and others) suggest that defense mechanisms differ with respect to “maturity”. That is, some defense mechanisms are more characteristic of healthy ego-function than others. Research also finds evidence that children are more likely to engage ‘less mature’ defense mechanisms than adults typically do. Please discuss the ‘maturity’ issue. Specifically, what makes one defense mechanism more “mature” than another (or more ‘primitive’)? How does the notion of ‘maturity’ relate to issues of the overall adjustment/adaptiveness of personality function?

Part 4: Now that you are more familiar with Freud’s views on self-deception, what do some contemporary psychologist think about this idea? Well, I have included some discussion of more contemporary/modern views of ‘defense mechanisms’ and self-deception. For the final point of discussion in this assignment, please describe the basic propositions advanced by these more modern approaches (by Baumeister and Trivers). How do they compare to the classic psychodynamic (Freudian) view?

What is the central idea in Christine de Pisan's "City of Ladies," and why is it considered an early Feminist text? Are there any earlier Feminist texts that the author could have used as inspiration? Give an example if you have come across one in your reading.

. Compare and contrast nuclear and extended families in terms of their differences in privacy, rules, and authority. Would one type be more "child friendly" than the other? If so, how? How would the two types of families manage resources, such as income, room allocation or space, and distribution of chores? What aspects of your development would be more influenced by the type of family you grew up in?

Please discuss the main point of this paragraph...

The second myth mentioned by Terri grabbed my attention- the myth that monogamy is the best relationship style for everyone. Monogamy in most cultures is the far dominant and normalized relationship style, so this myth popped out to me. Through Terri's talk, she discussed how polygamous relationships are scrutinized and stigmatized, however polygamous individuals are far more likely than cheating monogamous individuals to report prior to a sexual encounter. Also, polygamous individuals were far more likely to have used condoms than the monogamous cheaters. When it comes to major aspects in their relationships, there are essentially no differences in topics like commitment to the relationship, levels of passionate love, relationship satisfaction, and trust in one's partner. It is shocking how incredibly powerful mainstream ideology can be to the perceptions of the public as a negative perception is placed against the polygamous populations. Referring back to module 3, 25% of men and 15% of women have committed infidelity. Even though the polygamous population is looked down upon by general perception, the monogamous populations still commit infidelity at a large rate- even when committing to a single sexual partner. It is a largely hypocritical position for the monogamous population to find themselves in.
