Journal Reflection & Carl Jung

With the way of writing of Carl Jung his way (Unconscious writing) we have done a journal throughout the semester and that’s what I’m going to talk. But first, who is Carl Jung? Carl Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist who founded analytical psychology. His work has been influential not only in psychiatry but also in philosophy, anthropology, archaeology, literature, and religious studies. He was a prolific writer, though many of his works were not published until after his death. With his way of writing (Unconscious writing) we have done a journal throughout the semester and that’s what I’m going to talk. 

This journal is based in the way of writing with the unconscious, a theory or a way of writing proposed by Carl Jung.  This at first is hard to do, because we are used to do professional APA or MLA works for college. For me it hasn’t being any difficult because I always have practice this but I didn’t know Carl Jung was the one who conceptualize this way of writing. Unconscious way of writing is very useful when you need to do an essay because when you practice it the words and ideas come naturally without needing to force the mind.  My experience with it has being pretty useful as a stressed reliever.  This year has being a hard one for me and with this it has help focusing in my goals for this semester and in life. 


My personal journal is not like the average journal from my classmates.  My outer journey doesn’t represent where I want to go, it represents my way of thinking and way of being, my passions and my work.  My inner journey represent my goals and my most meaningful things in life.
 

What is a Puerto Rican?

Puerto Ricans are very proud of the culture and as Puerto Ricans we like to scream and let everyone know when a Puerto Rican has arrived to a party or to certain activity.  If someone makes a party in a certain hour we don’t arrive at time, we arrive 2 hours after the scheduled time. This is the way we are.  We have our own Spanish and that’s something only Spanish speakers will notice.  Our food is just and explosion of taste in every bite, the tourist always go crazy with it: rice and beans, mofongo, alcapurria, and everything that is deep fried that you can only get it in the coast.  In sports we always support and pick up our flag when our country is competing in a worldwide competition or in a simple international tournament, for us, there is no difference. We are very kind to everyone that’s not from the island, doesn’t matter who or from what race, but we are always kind to them.  I am sure that in stores or restaurants we are one of the best giving costumer service because that’s just because it comes by default in our culture being friendly, kind or just to help someone. To summaries, everything mention in this paragraph answers the communication theory of sender-receiver, in the way we talk, the way we handle situations, the way we represent our country and specially the way we treat others.
