Contrary to what you would think Albert hated formal schooling. He often did poorly in subjects such as Geography ... notes." He tried to get a job as a physicist but failed. He finally got a job at a paten office ion Bern, Switzerland. Einstein thought that the job was a terrific place to get new scientific ideas.

- 1733: Freud
- ... hearing or seeing something that might arouse grief or distress. Over time, Freud saw hundreds of patients. He soon recognized that hypnosis was not as helpful as he had first hoped.

Freud divided the elements of that conflict into three interacting systems: the id, ego and superego.

The id is a reservoir of unconscious psychic energy that continually toils to satisfy basic drives to survive, reproduce and aggress. The id operates on the pleasure principle - if unconstrained, it seeks instantaneous gratification.

As the child learns to cope with the real world, his ...

- ... s values. In a society with a cult of female chastity, one primary purpose of footbinding was to limit mobility, radically modifying the means by which females were permitted to become a part of the world at large.

First, they carried out a modern education campaign, which explained that the rest of the world did not bind women's feet and that China was losing face in the world, making it subject to international ridicule. Second, their education campaign explained the advantages of natural feet and the disadvantages of bound feet. Third, they formed natural-foot societies, whose members pledged not to bind ...

The World Medical Association meeting in Geneve at the same time, stated that the utmost respect for human life was to be from the moment of conception.

- 1736: Chamberlain and Fabri: Strong Advocates
- ... empires, (especially for those that were newly formed), decreased at a rapid rate. Unclaimed areas were claimed with a sense of urgency, before other nations could do so.

At a time when consensus was ...
- 1740: The Future of Human Evolution
- ... means of Natural Selection. In this book, Darwin laid out a strong argument for evolution. He postulated that all species have a common ancestor from which they are descended. As populations of species moved into new habitats and new parts of the world, they faced different environmental conditions. Over time, these populations accumulated modifications, or adaptations, that allowed them and their offspring to survive better in their new environments. These modifications were the key to the evolution ...
