Struggle between Freudian Personalities in Joseph Conrads...

Heart of Darkness, is not only an intense tale of pursuit, but also a psychological roller coaster as, through the characters of the story, Joseph Conrad shows us a powerful struggle between the Freudian personalities of id, ego and superego. The main characters of the novel, Marlow and Kurtz are mainly identified with the id and the super-ego type of personalities, and throughout the novel, these characters are placed in intense situations which makes them question their own beliefs and reactions, and ultimately their human personality. Hence, in between the characters, not only is there a battle in the physical sense, but also on the meta-physical level. This leads to a psychological imbalance between the human personalities of both the†¦show more content†¦This part of our mind is responsible for our civilized behavior in the society, and our judgments based on what our parents or our society has taught us to be good or bad. The superego is essential to lead a civilized l ife, but also inhibiting excessive superego can be harmful as it is not good to always hold back your needs or wishes. The id is the ‘forbidden’ component of our psych. It deals with our innermost wants and fantasies. It comprises of all our immediate and ‘non-sensible’ wants, and mostly, one feels anxious or tensed if a person is ruled majorly by his id, and his needs are not met at once. The id is the morally unacceptable part of our mind, and thus, it isn’t the part of our psych that we exhibit in public. In this story, the Europeans, who believe in the White Man’s Burden are initially identified with the superego, as they are known to be the civilized race, whose main goal is to ‘civilize the backward races of the world’. They live in the clutches of stringent societal rules, where their behavior is completely mechanized and controlled by their superego and where even the slight hinting of their inner wishes or wants in public is regarded as preposterously rude. But on complete contrast, the tribal’s from the African jungles are identified majorly with the id, as they are completely immune to having a civil code of conduct, and instead follow thereShow MoreRelated A Freudian Perspective of Marlow in Conrads Heart of Darkness1975 Words   |  8 PagesA Freudian Perspective of Marlow in Heart of Darkness      Ã‚  Ã‚   On the surface, Heart of Darkness is the exploration of the African Congo where the explorers are trying to conquer the natives and make a profit in the ivory business.

Appropriate Bargaining Units

Question: Discuss about the Appropriate Bargaining Units. Answer: 1. No, the BWU (the Bank Workers Union) will not succeed in persuading the Labour Relations Board that their proposed bargaining unit is an appropriate bargaining unit that is the BWU decided to only apply for certification for the female tellers at the main branch of Vancouver Credit Union. The reason behind this is that the BWU realizes that the male tellers are very anti-union. However, the BWU will not be able to influence the Labour Relations Board as the policy of Appropriate Bargaining Units focuses on the following factors (Alrb.gov.ab.ca, 2016): Community of interest General considerations Bargaining history Avoiding fragmentation Nature of the organization of the employer Desirability of separating blue-collar and white-collar employees Agreement of parties Employees desire Geographical limitations Traditional methods of union organization 2. The test for the union would be more difficult to meet if there was already a certified bargaining unit in the workplace. For instance, if the clerical employees were already certified by the Clerical Workers Union when the BWU tried to certify the tellers, the test will be much difficult for the particular union (BWU) to meet. The reason behind this is that there is the existence of a policy of not directing an election among the employees those who are presently covered by a valid collective bargaining agreement except in accordance with some certain rules. The Board considers both policy and statutory concerns when they decide on bargaining unit appropriateness (Lrb.bc.ca, 2016). References Alrb.gov.ab.ca. (2016).Alrb.gov.ab.ca.
