__Jungian Theory of Personality __

According to Jung, the **COLLECTIVE UNCONSCIOUS** consist of the following: **

PERSONA: ** - public image - the mask we put on to present ourselves to the world ANIMA/ANIMUS: ** - role of the male or female we must play - usually determined be gender - Jung believed that society molds us into men or women based on what are considered gender specific roles. E.g. Blue = Male Pink = Female Women = nurturing Men = aggressive; taught to ignore emotions SHADOW: ** - sex and life instincts - derives from the prehuman, animal past when our concerns were limited to survival and reproduction - derives from a time when we lacked self-consciousness - dark side of the ego - the evil of which we are capable - amoral - neither good or bad - like animals THE SELF: ** - self is the ultimate unity of the personality - symbolized by the circle - Jung believed that perfection of the personality is only truly achieved in death
 * Anima** = female aspect present in the collective unconscious
 * Animus** = male aspect present in the collective unconscious of women
