A key component of Adler's theory is what he calls "social interest." He maintains that social interest is an important criterion for a healthy personality. Adler also talks about inferiority and compensation in his theory of personality.

On the basis of your understanding on "social interest," discuss the following:

• Write on a public figure from popular culture, such as politics, movies, or television.
• Explain how social interest is or was a factor in his or her personality development.
• Explain how factors such as inferiority and compensation are displayed in your subject's personality.

Support your responses with examples.
