To prepare for the three questions in part one: Read the following background on the time periods and societies in which Freud and Rogers lived. Sigmund Freud lived in a time of change that included a catastrophic world war that set the stage for an even bigger world war. Ten years after Freud’s birth in 1856, Austria went to war with Prussia in Germany. The result was the formation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which would expand and then disintegrate in the next 50 years. Freud was born into a wealthy, Jewish family and lived most of his life in Vienna, the Austrian capital. He would have been fully aware of the forces that marked profound changes in the 19th and early 20th centuries. He saw nationalist movements that destabilized the Austro-Hungarian Empire. World War I in 1914 was triggered by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne. Consider that of the 7.8 million Austro-Hungarian forces that fought in the war, 90 percent (7.02 million) were causalities—killed, wounded, missing, or taken prisoner. (See the Optional Resource, WWI Casualty and Death Tables, for these and additional statistics.) Freud also witnessed the rise of communism and fascism in Europe. When he died on September 23, 1939, Nazi Germany had invaded Poland and World War II had begun. As a Jew, he had left Vienna for England, where he died, to escape the Nazi threat. For comparison to the technology in the modern coffee shop, photography developed greatly in his lifetime, and the telephone was invented. But there were no computers or Internet or anything close to them. Telephones were not portable. And while there were hand-held cameras, they were nothing like the cell phone features of today. The Learning Resources on Carl Rogers provide background on his life. Note that he spent much of his early life living on a farm in the U.S. Midwest—the opposite environment from Freud’s urban setting in a major European capital—and initially went to college to study agriculture and then the ministry before becoming a psychologist. Born at the start of the 20th century in 1902, Rogers witnessed tremendous change and development in his lifetime. He was 14 when World War I began and 37 at the start of World War II, from which America emerged as a major world power. He witnessed the Nuclear Age and its arms race, and the Cold War between the U.S. and the Soviet Union for nearly 50 years following World War II. He also saw the Civil Rights Movement and the Women’s Movement in the United States. In terms of technology, when he died in 1987, there were digital cameras, mobile phones, and laptop computers, although not of the convenient size, speed, and multiple features of current devices. The Internet was in primitive use, although social sites like Facebook had not yet been founded. Reflecting on the settings in which Freud and Rogers lived and how they might view the following behaviors, choose one of these behaviors as the focus of your post: Chronicling personal activity through selfies Revealing personal/emotional lives on Facebook Texting as a primary means of communicating with others In addition to the background above, review Learning Resources on Rogers and Freud and the required article on Facebook related to your Discussion post. http://webspace.ship.edu/cgboer/rogers.html http://webspace.ship.edu/cgboer/freud.html https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/close-encounters/201507/what-can-you-learn-about-people-facebook Consider how both Freud and Rogers would explain the behavior you have selected. Part one: Freud and Rogers: Comparing Takes on Modern Life By Day 3 Post a response to these three questions that includes the following: Describe the behavior that is the focus of your post. (Please note the selection in the post title.)Analyze how both Freud and Rogers would explain this behavior. In your answer, explain how their views of personality as well as the life and times in which they lived would influence their thinking about the selected behavior.Explain which theorist’s explanation you are in most agreement with, and why. To prepare for the three questions in part two: Review the information on Rogers and Maslow in this week’s Learning Resources, including the media selection, Measuring What Makes Life Worthwhile. http://webspace.ship.edu/cgboer/maslow.html http://webspace.ship.edu/cgboer/rogers.html https://www.ted.com/talks/chip_conley_measuring_what_makes_life_worthwhile Read the Carl Rogers Case Study about Katherine https://class.waldenu.edu/bbcswebdav/institution/USW1/201830_05/BS_PSYC/PSYC_2009_WC/artifacts/Carl%20Rogers%20Case%20Study.pdf Consider key contributions by both Rogers and Maslow to humanistic theory. Reflect on your ideas about achieving one’s potential and what represents success to you, including how the culture in which you were raised influenced your ideas and any changes in your present thinking. Consider the theorist, Rogers or Maslow, whose ideas are closest to your own. Consider the role of humanistic theories in guiding your interactions with others, both personally and in your future profession. Part Two: Analyzing Humanistic Theories Submit a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following: Analyze the most important contributions to humanistic theory by Maslow and Rogers and explain your reasoning.Analyze your own process of self-actualization (i.e., achieving personal potential) and comment on how your ideas about your potential have developed over time. In your answer, explain the concept of success in the culture in which you were raised and discuss whether your own concept of success aligns with that culture and what has influenced any shifts you have made.Using the case example of Katherine, describe how you could use humanistic theories and concepts to explain Katherine’s personality development and behavior. Be specific in the concepts you choose and apply them to specific aspects of Katherine’s case.

Obviously, the issue of gun control has been a major discussion within the US for quite some time. Anytime there is a mass shooting (Odessa TX; Dayton OH; El Paso TX; MSD High School, Parkland FL; Music Festival, Las Vegas NV; Pulse Nightclub, Orlando FL; Sandy Hook Elementary, Newtown CT; and numerous others) the issue of gun control naturally surfaces. America seems to be a very violent country. Is this partially due to the numerous guns available, or are the guns actually helping keep us safer in these violent situations? in 200 words please
