Q:1 Does Adler's theory qualify as a scientific theory?

No, his theory can't qualify as scientific because the measures he uses to determine human's personality can't be determined by any test. He only says that we have superior and inferior feelings, but how can you measure this?

Q:2 Is Jung's view of human nature pessimistic or optimistic? Justify your answer and include a comparison between Jung's and Freud's views.

Jung's theory has been praised for accounting for multitude of human attributes, emphasizing the importance of the future for human behavior, describing the self-realization process, being optimistic about humans rather than pessimistic, and recognizing the importance of meaning of human existence.

While Freud divided the psyche into unconscious, preconscious and conscious, Jung divided into ego, personal unconscious and collective unconscious. The main difference between Freud and Jung, when it comes to the psyche, is the inclusion of Jung's collective unconscious.

Explanation:

- "the civil rights movements"

- "following the american civil war and abolition of slavery, the united states entered a period known as reconstruction, during which black americans continued to suffer from disenfranchisement, racial segregation, and economic oppression. beginning in the early 1950's, black americans launched a series of major campaigns of civil resistance, emphasizing the need for nonviolent protests and civil disobedience."

"such as the montgomery bus boycott of 1955-56, a campaign launched by rosa parks against the policy of racial segregation of the public transit system in alabama. “sit-ins” became popular across the american south, particularly in greensboro, north carolina, increase national sentiment."

- "the counterculture movement"

- "counterculture began to develop in the united states following the rise of conformity in american culture during the 1950s. by 1963, youth, particularly those of the white middle class, began rejecting the cultural standards and normality of their parents, opting for progressive attitudes instead. the movement gained momentum as the civil rights movement became increasingly successful and as the u.s. military intervention of vietnam began to take a negative turn."

"hippie counterculture moved further into popular culture following the summer of love in 1967 when thousands of people came together in the haight-ashbury neighborhood of san francisco. along with greenwich village in new york city, haight-ashbury became a hub for the counterculture movement."
