Question:
Your task is to find an everyday source that illustrates a specific psychological concept related to any of Freud's theories/ideas/concepts covered in this course. You can use articles, editorials, advertisements, advice columns, photographs, cartoons, book excerpts, and song lyrics, etc. DO NOT use academic journal articles!
- Copy and paste your source (the article, the picture, the song lyrics, the ad, etc etc) at the beginning of your post.
- Type the reference in A.P.A format for your source.
- Explain what specific topic from Freud's theories your source is related to and how, i.e., This source shows "blank concept." This concept is "define/explain the concept." This concept is shown in this source because "your explanation."
NOTE: You cannot use a source that is showing behavior in animals (i.e., chimps learning a language, or mating rituals in peacocks). Human Development is about humans and, although we can draw analogies to animals, we apply these concepts to people. You may, however, use cartoons that are displaying animals "as if" they are humans (i.e., The Backyardigans are hippos, but act like human children.)
Some websites are NOT acceptable: for example,
- Any site that is "teaching" the concept
- Wiki or wikipedia
- Answers.com or Yahoo Answers
- About.com
