    The famous person that I chose to write about is Harrison Ford. Harrison Ford started off as a cabinetmaker. He did this job for fifteen years, just to make sure that he was able to pay his bills and put food on the table every day. Harrison Ford worked as a stagehand for The Doors, he built sound studios for Sergio Mendes, and he made cabinets for George Lucas. At the time George Lucas was not a well-known producer like he is now and he was producing the film American Graffiti. He offered Harrison Ford a small role in the film to make a little extra money and Harrison said yes. Later, as George Lucas become more famous, he asked Harrison Ford to do construction work for a bigger office. One day while doing construction, Harrison Ford was asked by George Lucas to read lines for the actors who were absent. The film just happened to be Star Wars. The off-the-cuff performance impressed Stephen Spielberg and he offered the lead role to Harrison Ford. The movie Star Wars ended up being the highest-grossing movie in history. Because of this movie Harrison Ford began a long career in Hollywood.…

    Sigmund Freud, a Jewish Austrian neurologist that developed a wonderful theory in 1915 that stated all behavior is motivated and that the primary purpose of someone’s behavior was to serve the satisfaction of needs. This serves to be true in two or more situations in the common workplace. For instance, if company morale is low, there is a very slim chance that the company as a whole will be doing well. People are driven by their need to feel satisfied and wanted at the same time. Therefore, when others exhibit behavior that is non-favorable, it is most likely due to their lack of being satisfied. Behavior can either be motivated in a positive and negative direction.…

    In 2008 history was made in the United States when Barack Obama was elected as the first African-American President. He has stated that he was raised in Chicago Illinois by a single mother who struggled, but still found a way to instill their family morals and principals in him. I think that the aggression from the psychoanalytical view was a necessary component that ultimately helped him win the presidency as well as the humanistic view because he used his experience as a senator as a platform for his campaign. The diversity view seems to have been what some people tried to use as a weak point in his campaign because of the fact that President Obama is both African-American and White, it seems as if they wanted him to choose sides. President Obama has respect and understanding for the needs of every culture and religion and I believe this is one of the reasons he was elected president.…
