00:01
All right, so let's answer this question my question, and i recommend that you go, you pause the video once i'm done writing because i'm going to erase after each question just so there's more room to explain.
00:12
So first, in today's society of violence and social media, what do you think are the residual effects on someone's personality? so for me, i believe that there is a habituation to violence due to its normalization in the media.
00:29
So this is to say, seeing so much all the time in movies, tv shows, so much murder, blood, gore, it makes us more used to the idea of it, so it doesn't seem as crazy in real life.
00:43
There's studies that show people who play more violent video games are more habituated to violence and therefore more likely to commit violent crimes or be less disturbed by the idea of violent crimes.
00:55
And there can be a decreased empathy, empathy for others.
01:02
Due to the same habituation.
01:03
You see these awful things happening on tv.
01:07
So when you hear about something awful happening like that in real life, it's not very shocking.
01:11
So it's harder to really feel the same amount of distress that you would have if you weren't so used to it.
01:17
All right, there's room to do the second one.
01:18
So i'm going to go ahead and just do that.
01:20
So next we're looking at freud's belief that personality shaped by our inner drives and struggles.
01:25
How might some of our impulses conflict with the rules and norms of society? so this is basic ed versus super.
01:31
Ego.
01:34
It is our most primitive, basic desires, food, water, shelter, sex.
01:46
And our super ego is our, essentially way we want to be perceived in society.
01:54
It's like our most shallow form of self.
02:01
And it is often in conflict with the id.
02:07
So this is your self.
02:10
Critical conscience.
02:15
This is the part that's affected by society.
02:17
So basically it's asking how society impacts our more primitive basic desires.
02:22
So a good example of this would be society looks upon marriage as a norm.
02:37
And in marriage, you do not cheat.
02:41
You remain loyal to one person your whole life.
02:44
But our id regards sex as a basic primitive desire.
02:49
So we are battling the basic primitive desire for that in order to meet the normative social expectation of staying with one person for your whole life.
03:16
It's very interesting.
03:17
All right, so go ahead and pause.
03:18
I'm going to erase these and do the next couple.
03:26
All right, third question we're looking at here.
03:29
What are some reasons people get defensive, give examples of what that might look like and try to label them with ford's defense mechanisms.
03:35
So i think one of the main reason people get defensive is to avoid guilt or taking responsibility for their actions that they regret, as well as continuing to perpetuate denial.
04:12
It leaves cognitive dissonance, because if you know in your head and you can acknowledge you you do something bad, but you can't change it, then that gives you cognitive dissonance.
04:23
So there's a couple examples we can use using freud's defense mechanisms.
04:27
So let's start with one projection.
04:36
This is defined as projecting undesirable feelings or emotions onto someone else rather than admitting to or dealing with your unwanted feelings.
04:44
So it's something that's bothering you and you projected onto someone else.
04:48
So if i was sad, i look at my friend and be, why are you so sad all the time? so a good example is a woman who has been unfaithful to her husband may project and accuse him of cheating.
05:18
So she doesn't have to so she can use that as a defense mechanism against her own actions of cheating on him.
05:26
Next, let's look at displacement.
05:28
This is when feelings you may be having about a certain person or situation are accidentally put onto someone else in a different situation.
05:37
So it's transferring negative feelings from one person or thing to another.
05:40
So an example of this is someone who's angry at their boss.
05:49
Maybe they're getting mistreated.
05:50
Maybe their boss just yelled at them, but they can't yell back at their boss because they'd get fired.
05:54
So they'll go home and take out this anchor on their kid.
06:05
This is very, very common.
06:09
And it could be maybe you're really sad that your boyfriend did something in your relationship, go home and take it out on a family member, take it out on a friend.
06:18
And it's in order to not really have to take responsibility for the fact that this person's thinking you feel that way and that you can't do anything about it.
06:27
Let's use one more example just for good measure.
06:30
Is another defense mechanism that freud brought up, which is defined as the exclusion of distressing memories, thoughts, or feelings from the conscious mind.
06:37
So you don't consciously accept that something happened, but it may come up anyways...
