I do not think that "penis envy" occurs to such an extent as Freud believes... I think that girls like to feel powerful and take leadership roles, and it just so happens that males usually have those roles assigned to them first. I also do not think that young children are attracted to their opposite sex parent in a sexual way. I feel like it is important for them to have the older opposite sex figure in their life to develope balanced and know their own gender roles. I also think that if they are unable to identify with an opposite sexed parent that the child will lack a certain amount of maturity towards the opposite sex.
It's strait up crazy. Not really, some things are believable and make sense, and others don't. I know a girl that doesn't have a father figure in her life. She has always liked to date older guys and personally, I think that's kinda weird. Also, I don't think that young kids are attracted like that to their opposite sex parent. I think it's important to establish a bond to their parents.
I think he has a good point on some things. But stuff like penis envy and liking your opposite gender parent is wierd at the least. Though what can you expect from someone hiped up on sex and cocain. Kohler fryer
I think that the basic ideas are right, but i do not believe that children are driven by sex drive. I think the bond and relationships that children have with their parents are in no way sexual. I also don't believe in penis envy. A lot of the things that he believed make a lot of sense he just incorporates unnecessary aspects.
I think his whole theory is just weird. I don't agree with a lot of it, especially that young children are attracted to their opposite sex parent, and penis envy. His whole theory is crazy, and a lot of it doesn't make sense to me. Some things do make some sense, but most of it doesn't seem very believable. In conclusion... I don't really like Freud very much. He's a weirdo.
Well, I did think it was all very interesting, especially the part about potty training too soon or too late and how that could determine whether a person would be neat and organized or sloppy and messy, and it makes me want to potty train my own kids sooner than later. But as interesting as the theory is to me, I don't think that a person's personality can be determined only on the things that happened in his or her childhood. I believe that people have complete freedom over the way they act. They can choose to change themselves.
I honestly think most of the things we talked about in class that Freud taught are a little observed. But whether the things he taught are true or not, I'm not sure. I agree with some things, and other things were just plain weird.
I think this guy is a pure WEIRDO! :) Personally I do not believe that little babies and children are driven by their sexual desires. I also do not believe in penis envy or the fact that we are attracted to our opposite sex parents. Some things make sense but most things do not. At all. :)
i thought it was very interesting because in my personal opinion and based on my experiences much of what he says i considered to be true but not all when the lesson on how we were once sexually attracted to our parents was taught i was like this guy was a kreep and in that specific event i didnt agree with him. Neither did i agree on the fact that babys suck for sexual pleasure. But like i said it was very interesting to learn about this and my thoughts towards freud didnt change he is still amazing!
I would mostly agree with all his theories to a certain extent. All his theories are very logical in a way and not just that he's some sexist pervert like some said in class. The only things i wouldn't really agree with is that everything is sexual. I don't really believe that were all attracted to our parents sexually and the oral fixation thing when we're little that its a sexual type of pleasure. I don't know if I would agree with that.
That post for #7 was meant for this one so for this one I'll comment on #7. I think punishment is necessary for learning as long as it's reasonable punishment and not like child abuse
Many are shocked by Freud's theory. That is evident by the look on all of the girls faces when Mr. Fong talked about penis envy. However, his theories make sense to an extent. With the Electra Complex it makes sense that a girl would need to have a father figure. I know many girls who have 'daddy issues' and they are extremely insecure and always are attracted to the guys who are very controlling. On the subject of penis envy this also makes sense to a point. Right now my niece is three and her older brother is five. My sister lets my nephew do whatever he wants but is reserved when it comes to my niece. She is a girl and she is more delicate. But Whitney (niece) can see how much fun he has so she easily gets jealous. While Freud stated his theories in very blunt and extreme terms, most have some amount of truth to them when taken into consideration instead of just a subject of disgust.
i beleive some things and some things are just plain stupid haha especially where i use to be atracted to my mom, thats hecka weird. i kind of do agree with the penis envy because i have actually seen in it. i dont agree that babies get sexual pleasure when they suck on something. i do believe that they get satisfaction though.
Most of it is pretty messed up. Im not sure that I really believe it or not. There are a few things like "penis envy" that I definately don't agree with but then again there are things where I think it is a very good explanation of why we do some of the things we do only because there really is no other explanation other than "God made us that way."
I think Freud hit the nail on the head. I mean yeah it seems pretty crazy to most people, but if you really look into the patients he had and how he analysed those people. You would find that much of what he was saying really helped that person with their psychological problems. He had one patient he called the wolf man who had trouble going to the bathroom and Freud gave his explanation as to why. At first the guy was pissed, but then he realized Freud was right. He is a genius. -Kayson Max
I think he has a lot of great points, and he gets a really bad rap, to say the least. He was in EXTREMELY uncharted territory, being one of the first human beings making a study out of the mind. He has very many valid points, and he really did help out a lot of people, curing their mental state and even their physical state. Sure, he bit off a little more than he can chew with more than a few things, but that doesn't mean he's a "WEIRDO" or "hiped up on sex and cocain."
I do not agree on penis envy and how we are supposedly sexually attracted to our opposite sex parent. I do believe that women envy the power and stuff, but not penis envy. I also don't think we are attracted to our parent of the opposite sex, because that is just weird. Freud had no proof of this, and there is no way to test it. I also do not think that we have sex drives since the time we were babies. I agree with some small parts of Freud's theory, but most of it is just weird.
As weird as Freud's theory was I think that it was revolutionary. I do not agree with allot of his concepts and ideas like attraction between children and their parents, but I do think that with the information he had available this theory is accurate according to physical observations. I have seen allot of what Freud has said in my life and in the lives of my friends and family. I do not think it is the only answer, but it is one explanation for what occurs with our minds.
I think Freud's theory is just werid. I don't really agree with everything especially the Penis evry, And that young children are attracted to their opposite sex parents. Thats just wrong. But you never know it could be true!
I think Freud's theory makes a lot of sense. Although I don't believe that we are guided by sex drive all our lives. I believe it is something else. What I think makes a lot of sense in Freud's theory is the anal stage and the oral stage.
Personally, while it might seem slighty strange at first, i think that Freud dug up a lot of intersting theories sprinkled with great evidence. Some of it may come across as "crazy" or "far-fetched" or even "completely insane" depending on who you talk to. However, for a man who was the first in his field, who kept working even though his theories were not even close to accepted, he did a great job. He worked hard and he made sense. Most, if not all, of the things Freud came up with, once thoroughly thought about make quite a bit of sense in my opinion.
Of course no girl would agree, I don't. Maybe I'm denying it but I'm not sure. I have always liked being a girl and I didn't even know boys were different until like 5th grade. And there is NO WAY I was ever in love with my dad. I think Freud just has a big imagination! -Dallas Lyman
I think that penis envy is the most true doctrine that has ever been preached on this earth. No, JK again. I think that Freud's theories are pretty ingenious to be honest, they kind of do make sense. But I don't think things are as clear cut as his theories predict. I still am not potty trained and I'm totally fine. I wasn't weaned until the age of 11 and I have no issues with the "momma's boy" complex. I think that the id, ego, and superego stuff is pretty insightful in regards to the human consciousness. This epic battle between the animal and human within us characterizes almost everything we do. I think that like Newton with physics, Freud recognized some fundamental trends in the field of psychology - but there's still a plethora of knowledge to uncover before we can even grasp the structure with us.
Some of it I can see being true. But I really just think its weird and that it is not true. The whole girls wanting to be boys I think is not true for everyone and also being attracted to your opposite sex parent. It just doesn't seem practical.
The guy is nuts, although somethings he says may be true. For example, the whole anal retentive theory is believable. Because it happened to my brother. But I don't believe his philosophy that everything is to fulfill our sexual needs.
Personally, I think he's crazy. While bits and pieces of his theory make sense, the majority of it does not. Kids being sexually attracted to their opposite sex parent? Nahh. not even. that's weird, and wouldn't be right. I do think its important for a child to have a good relationship with their opposite sex parent, I strongly disagree with Freud on that particular subject. I really like what Lauren said about that, she's right, if a kid grows up lacking that relationship with an opposite sex family member or friend, then when they are older they're not going to know how to work with or deal with those of the opposite sex.
When you were first teaching this about Freud's penis envy theory..(referring to how girls that like to play sports, specifically if with boys..that its because they secretly want one...ummmm..???) ya. crazy. And you honestly had me kind of freaked out by that cause I love to play sports with guys because i grew up with a bunch of brothers. But anyways..i think he is just straight up crazy!! that whole thing with being sexually attracted to your opposite sexed parent made absolutely NO sense...and i think it's a little messed up to be honest..
