Describe Freud’s model

What is personality? According to Freud’s model, what are the characteristics of the id, the ego, and the superego? Pick one of the psychosexual stages and describe how the id, ego and superego interacts in that stage.Freud’s personality theory (1923) saw the psyche structured into three parts (i.e., tripartite), the id, ego and superego, all developing at different stages in our lives.

How well or poorly did Milgram’s sample represent the population at large?

If you were to replicate Milgram’s study, describe what characteristics of the “experimenter” or “victim” you might change and what affect that might have on the outcome.

Describe the specific factors in the procedure that you felt made it difficult for the participant (i.e., the “teacher”) to discontinue participating?

Milgram reported that around 65% of the teachers reached the maximum shock value. If the study were replicated today, explain why the same result might be found and also why the same result might not be found.

Castration and medications on civilly committed person to reduce sex drive

The civilly committed person can be released when the court finds the individual safe to return to the community. Because of the high bar they must reach, some men will voluntarily undergo chemical castration, the injection of medications such as Depo-Provera. In other parts of the world, castration is regularly conducted on men who have committed sex crimes. Castration and medications do reduce sex drive, but side effects occur (e.g., the development of female traits like breasts).

The National Rifle Association (NRA)

The National Rifle Association (NRA) is one of the biggest interest groups in America. All of the shootings that happen in this country, the NRA is consistent with keeping the right to bear arms. The National Rifle Association is America’s longest-standing civil rights organization.

The organization has over 5 million members and continue to be defenders of history’s patriots and diligent protectors of the Second Amendment. The National Rifle Association has successfully lobbied against stricter gun control measures. An active membership and hefty bank account make the NRA the envy of other special interest groups.

The NRA claims 5 million members, and according to BusinessInsider.com, in 2010 it boasted revenues of almost $228 million and assets of $163 million. The NRA’s membership and financial health give it enormous clout both in influencing the public and politicians.

One of the methods and tactics that most interest group influence policy is by monitoring government activity, they serve as a means of political participation for members, and provide information to the public and to lawmakers. This organization will contact lawmakers to voice approval or disapproval of proposed legislation (inside lobbying) and encourage group members to take action by either donating money to it or contacting lawmakers about the proposed bill (outside lobbying).

Thus, a member of the organization or a citizen concerned about voting rights need not be an expert on the legislative process or the technical or legal details of a proposed bill to be informed about potential threats to voting rights. The NRA monitors attempts by state legislatures to tighten gun control laws. An organization that has been around for over 150 years.

It will be very difficult for this interest group to not continue fighting back with the opposing groups in our nation.
