Refelction 12

Even though everyone doesn’t like what Freud’s theories might be, that doesn’t mean they are one hundred percent wrong. I believe every psychologist has a little truth in their theories. When Freud talks about his Ethos, and Thanatos theories he is talking about what people live for and how people have the power to kill people, with out even realizing it. I think the people who don’t believe in Freud’s theories, don’t understand what man kind is capable of, whether it is good or bad. The Ethos and Thanatos also blends in with the id, ego, and the superego. I think that people still consider it important is because that even though not many people reach all of these stages, it still holds truth to most. I think that Freud is constantly switching his theories, and in a way I believe that theories need to be switch because changes are made. I enjoy his Ethos and Thanatos theory because it stands true no matter what. We are human, we live and learn and make mistakes. But one thing life has taught us, is to thrive and seek for a companion, or to thrive and seek for love. Society is responsible for the way we view love, but we are responsible of constantly yearning for it. We spend our entire lives to find happiness, and most of us believe that happiness is found once we’ve found love. Though after a period of loving someone Thanatos comes and tares us apart over what, jealousy, envy, over thinking, and interpreting the situation in how you see it, not how it is seen. But that’s why I believe that Freud can change his theories, and why throughout his life he has. People think and believe what society has taught them to think and to believe. For example, now society believe that when getting married, there is a high chance you will get divorce because now things aren’t lasting as long as they used to, due to a variety of variables. Due to this we are looking for ethos our whole lives to be drawn to such a powerful thing, and once we have it within months we start thinking about Thanatos because our society believe that nothing last forever, so we find our own mistakes and make them so that things don’t last. Freud theories work on the human mind, because they hold true to some, because when you believe something and you feel strong enough about it, the chance it what ever you believe will happen.
