Women have a long history of being considered inferior to men.
However, during the middle to the late 20th century, the women’s
rights movement began to improve the plight of women in Western
society by granting them access to societal positions previously
held only by men.
Some people claim that women have finally achieved equality with
men in the 21st century; others are not convinced.
How will you describe the status of equality between men and women in contemporary Western culture?
Do you see any major areas where women are still discriminated against on a large scale? If so, give at least two examples. If not, rationalize your views.

Sigmund Freud, although one of the best-known personality theorists, is probably also one of the most controversial in the field of psychology. When starting to consider theories of personality, one must begin with a look at Sigmund Freud, as he was one of the first theorists to develop a psychoanalytical theory that was based on real-life patients and not studies conducted in a lab. Even if you do not agree with his theories, he is the starting point from which many other theorists have begun. Specifically, he was concerned with the development of the personality and how it created the neuroses he saw in many of his patients.
Research Freud’s theories using your textbook, the Internet, and the online library resources. Based on your research, respond to the following:
What do you consider to be Freud’s most significant contribution to the discipline of psychology?
Of his different theories, which one do you feel is the most controversial?
What life factors and sociocultural factors do you think led Freud to come to the conclusions that he did?
Why do many people disagree with the development of Freud’s theories?
In general psychology and even popular culture today, there are a number of concepts that are based in Freudian theory that many do not realize stem from him. Identify a few ideas and terms that can be traced back to Freud.
Write your iresponse in about 4–5 paragraphs. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
