The study of Human, and anthros, Part 1 of part ??
12 years ago
General
This journal was created to inspire other writers to create a realistic Anthropomorphic creatures for their works. Of course everything found in this journal is opinion based, and it is up to you to interpret, and take what you want out of it.
Some information was pulled from my College library, which means some of these resources will not be readily available on Google. I will however name all resources used.
First thing is first though, lets first name off what Anthropomorphism is. Google names it as “the attribution of human characteristics or behavior to a god, animal, or object. “ What does that mean over all though for Anthropomorphism is that, a object, animal, or other such device was given human characteristics that are not normally found in the animal, object, or other such device. What does this mean? Well I could say giving a Lion hands and the ability to walk up right on it own two feet are examples of anthropomorphism. Transformers is example of anthropomorphism on a object scale, cars or vehicles(the standard theme) that have the ability to think for themselves “evolve” and have emotions. Of course you could always bring in the Beast Wars thing for transformers, but I'm just using them for argument sake!
However, just cause something has a human like trait doesn't make it anthropomorphic, this is the reason why there is so much gray area when it involves talking about Anthropomorphism. Example, take Monkeys, just cause they have hands, and can walk upright don't mean they are anthropomorphic. They have traits that they are naturally given.
Now, this study will be broken up in many different parts, which will be posted over the time span of maybe one every week or two weeks.
This part of the study will be about humans, it may be boring, but I will bring up “I hope” I number of interesting facts about humans that you might not know about!
Humans are a strange creature to talk about, as how does one describe yourself?
Well, lets first deal with basic human Psychology. You are controlled by three basic mental collections. (Of course, everything in Psychology is based around theory... Strong theories, but theories none the less.) The basic mental collections are called ID, Ego, and SuperEgo. Each of their functions are a tad different from each other... For those that don't know what ID, Ego and SuperEgo, here the basic run down on them.
ID: The ID is controlled by the pleasure principle. It also consider the Core of your unconscious, raw primitive forces are held here the desire to survive, sexual desires, and gratification desires are normally found in this area of the Psychology. ID dominated personalities tend to suffer from the Immediate gratification problem, they want what they want... Right this second!
In the Basics of all that said, the ID seeks to reduce Tension, avoid pain, and obtain pleasure.
Ego: This is the second part of your brain... Kinda like part two! Or...Something... Anyways moving on! Ego operates on the Reality Principle. The ego is most simply described as the basic conscious mind. It also considered your logic operator, in short, if you can satisfy your ID without getting in trouble, you will, and the entire operation of going about doing that is controlled by the Ego. The third job of the Ego is to act as a mediator between the ID and SuperEgo.
SuperEgo: Is the hardest, yet easiest thing to describe... SuperEgo is you upper Conscious. It also been named your moral compass. The SuperEgo tends to force the Ego to take into consideration of not only the Real, but also the Ideal, the perfect world. The SuperEgo tends to focus more on the Ideal side of things.
The SuperEgo and the ID are always in a state of constant flux, fighting with each other to see who has more control, while the Ego... As stated, act as the go between person. Ego is the part of the brain that keeps the ID and the SuperEgo in check(most of the time) to make sure one doesn't dominate the other to much.
