Homer dealing with his Id and his Super Ego

There so much things that I've learned from General Psychology like knowing if I'm right or left brained, right brained for being creative and left brained for being analytic. I also learned about the spacing effect in study habits which makes more easier for me to prioritize my study for each day there is an allotted time like instead of having 4 hours of study time in just one day why not studying for 1 hour in each day before the exam date. I've also learned about the Id, Ego and the Super Ego the id which means that only relies uncoordinated instincts or let's say id is the childish party of you while ego refers to reality and super ego refers to your critical thinking or mature part of you. One thing I've also learned is about Dominant and Recessive traits in which the phenotype (physical traits) and the genotype (genetic traits) came from our parents or even older relatives. I've also learned in psychology that in every dream there is a certain meaning for it that applies in reality.

Those are some of the concepts that I've learned from General Psychology under Ma'am Braga and I'm very thankful for it. So that ends my whole blog I hope you guys have also learned from me, these are all based on my own perspective.

Blog #9 Reaction towards Sex Change/Gender Identity Disorder

I don't see anything wrong about the video about sex change since we're all just the same human beings, they all lived a happy and normal life. We shouldn't judge people who are gender x. The people in the video who has undergone sex change seems to be functional as normal genders which is male and female. The case of having a gender identity disorder is much more complicated except for the person in the video who is actually satisfied with himself that he wants to do both ways.

Blog #8 Defense Mechanisms

My own experiences of using defense mechanisms

Repression

The moment that I got over my crush by just not even trying to think about her and try to focus in my studies which somehow helps me to become more productive because I think I find of her as a distraction than an inspiration

Humor

I made a joke about my classmates that I failed inorganic chemistry, taking it lightly and being positive instead of being so negative that I'll just take the subject again for the summer class.

Compensation

When I was in high school I didn't know how to drive yet so I was like it's okay since I'm really good at racing games or stuff like that.

Compartmentalization

I saw a good friend of mine who just let his other classmate copy her answers in an exam which not cool at all.

Regression

There was this one time when I was a child that I peed on my bed and I just forget about it when I grew older.
