I
don´t know if I admire this psychologist, but he is a guide for many others
works and studies in psychology area. I´m talking about Lev Vygotski, a Russian
psychologist. Vygotski was born in 1896 and started his studies and works
around 1915; he formulated his bibliography between 1920 and 1933, year where
he wrote his last book “Thought and language”, the same year of his passing by
tuberculosis. It was a difficult date for be a writer of psychologist theories,
the world wars had influence in his publications, and very often his books had cuttings
and vetoes by the hand of the URSS. It
explains why his works was discovery for the occidental world almost four
decades after his death. The fundamental idea of his work is include social interactions
for explain human development. According to his vision, human development is a
process where we internalize cultural resources since we were babies, such as
language. But we don´t assimilate this resources, we create a new own cultural
image from own cultural context. I like his work because he took a big step
including cultural influence for explain human development. jueves, 19 de noviembre de 2015

A free topic... always when someone brings us the possibility to
choose with freedom, anything, can be a way, an opinion, clothes, etc. How much freedom we have to choose? I think, there always are a hidden slant in all these requests. When, for example, one person
of a couple (loving couple), has to choose whether to go out at night with his/her
friends or go out with the other person to a problematic situation, like a date
with the partner and his/her parents or something like that (use your imagination), and before going out, the partner says: “no, it does not matter, you are free to choose”, and
if you want you can insert a sarcastic tone. How much of freedom is there? Ok, yes, it is an extreme situation, but it serves to illustrate my point. In all of the
things we say or we express there is a part of us (feelings, expectation, ideas, etc.).
What we say never is neutral.
And yes, I have little imagination and before coming to class I was
reading a psychology text.
