The historical underpinnings of American psychology came by way of Francis Bacon and John Stuart Mill philosophy, Charles Darwin evolutionary biology, Chauncey Wright evolutionary psychology, and Wilhelm Wundt volunteer psychology generally (Green, 2009; Wright, 1873). From these philosophical and biological contributors came two major schools of American psychology, namely structuralism and functionalism (Green, 2009; Caldwell, 1899; biological terms; see Boucher, 2015, pp. 384-385), which emerged
There are a dozen adaptations of the Grimm brothers fairytale; The Frog Prince. Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm wrote over 200 fairy tales in 1812. Although their work was published over 200 years ago, the stories they wrote are still being told today. Thanks to Disney, these stories have been adapted for younger audiences. Modern adaptations of Grimm’s fairy tales are modernised for younger audiences by taking away the gore, swearing, and violence. In this paper, I will be examining the differences in the

Kaiser Wilhelm II was born on January 27, 1859 to Prince Frederick of Prussia and princess Victoria of the United Kingdom. Prince Fredrick then fell ill and died after just 99 days of his reign and Wilhelm II took the throne at just the age of 29. Throughout his reign, Wilhelm II had a clear vision of the way he would like to run his country and his personality made him more than capable to
Was psychology really founded in 1879? Or was it in existence before that specific time? Wilhelm Wundt (1832-1920) officially opened an institution and laboratory for Psychology, in Leipzig, Germany. Many students were also taught here on experimental psychology. Wundt was touted as a great lecturer, and some of those taught, emulated Wundt's work and made a significant contribution to psychology; for example Edward Titchner (1867-1927), who introduced structuralism to the United States of
's versions of princess-centric tales and their popular counterparts through critical analysis and comparison of their content, tone and style. Approximately one century before Walt Disney began his animation career, the Brothers Grimm (Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm) started their popular legacy through re-writing old folk tales, which they thought would cater for everyone’s tastes, although they expected their readers to be mainly adults (Flood, 2014). They soon identified that their readers were mainly

It is common belief that Wilhelm Wundt is the father of psychology. While Wundt helped psychology in a great way, he was not necessarily the first person to do so. Rene Descartes was a philosopher during the Renaissance who is probably best known for the saying “I think, therefore I am.” While Descartes was very prominent in the education field for math and geometry, he also made many great contributions to psychology. Often being called the founder of Western Psychology, Descartes took what he
Medical Imaging in Art and Archeology On November 8, 1895 Wilhelm Roentgen discovered x-rays. X-rays have evolved drastically over the past 120 years and there have been many new discoveries that are used to this day in diagnostic medicine. Some of the different modalities in medical imaging have also been very helpful when studying art and archeology. Both x-rays and CT’s are used to look at art to confirm its authenticity, archeology for the study of mummies, and also archeology to exam the
1. What roles did Wundt and James play in establishing psychology? The role that Wilhelm Wundt played in establishing psychology was important because he is also considered to be the founder of psychology. Wilhelm Wundt used the scientific method to help him while he studied different experiments. Wundt did a major turning point for psychology in 1874 when he saw a connection between psychology and physiology. Wundt also wrote his text “Principles of Physiological Psychology”. Many students also
Assessment in Mental Health Counseling The day that we come into the world, we start to develop pieces of a personal puzzle that throughout the rest of our lives we attempt to “fit” into our individual and unique puzzle. As time progresses, we seem to find that some of the pieces may “fit” very well into place, but we also find that some of the pieces are hard to “fit” into place, even when we try to force the piece in its place. In fact, some may say that when we try to force pieces into our personal
