As a senior in high school, I realize that the leap into the adult world will arrive sooner than I had anticipated, and that I need to start thinking about my future. I am an ambitious person who wants to be able to create my own identity. At the same time, I have great leadership qualities since I’m responsible and also aspire to make my life just the way I want it to be. Thirdly, three primary goals of mine are to be content, to bond with others, and to strengthen the relationships I have with others. In short, my personality traits and personal goals stated above display how I represent the creator, the ruler, and the lover archetypes. The first archetype that is predominant in my personality right now is the creator. According to Carol …show more content…
According to Pearson’s article, a ruler is a “symbol of order, well-being, self-control, and achievement. The ruler maintains and governs his or her own life.” The ruler archetype is quite similar to the creator archetype in ways that they both work towards creating the perfect lifestyle through the vision of the creator or ruler. The slight difference between the two archetypes is that the creator is more ambitious and works toward making one’s dream a reality as opposed to the ruler whose main focus is obtaining order in one’s life. According to the “Twelve Heroic Archetypes” chart, a ruler is “highly responsible and would make a good leader.” The leadership aspect of my life is portrayed through my involvement as the President of the Thespian Society, a drama club at MHS, and how I am capable of hosting meetings and properly assigning roles to other members of the cabinet to ensure that the club runs well. In conclusion, the ruler archetype is predominant in my personality because of my leadership qualities and desire to achieve order in all aspects of my life such as academics, my workplace, and family …show more content…
However, it is important to note which archetypes will predominate my future.I believe that I will still have all three archetypes within my personality because in the future I need to be responsible in order to keep a stable job. Similarly, I need to maintain my creativity to keep my dream job as an actress. Above all, if I choose to start a family I’m going to have to be loving and wanting to be in a relationship with another person. Although it is not one of my archetypes, I can see myself as being the caregiver archetype as well because I will need to be a nurturing mother if I decide to have children. All things considered, I am the creator, ruler and lover as of right now, and I expect to still be those archetypes in the near

In the epic, and plays Julius Caesar, The Odyssey, and Oedipus the King leadership is expressed through dominance. Julius Caesar was eventually stabbed for his dominance of his people. Oedipus ended up in shambles gouging out his eyes by attempting to dominate his fate , and Odysseus arrives home, but at the cost of all of his crew, through his acts of complete and utter dominance of those around him. Though many of the classical heroes showed their leadership through the dominance of other's and their ideas, all of them ended up in bad shape. This is a clear message for everyone reading these works that dominance is not the way to lead.
An archetype is a human experience or symbol that is universally known and accepted. Archetypes can be images or stories passed on through history. Carl Jung, a prominent psychiatrist in the early 1900’s, used archetypes in his theory about the human psyche and how humans can recognize these symbols because they reside in the collective human subconscious. Some common examples of archetypes are The Hero, The Mentor, The Mother, The Villain and many more. Archetypes like these can be seen in everyday things like books, tv or movies. In The Complete Stories by Zora Neale Hurston there are many different archetypes in each story but three prominent ones are The Trickster, The Devil or Evil, and The Hero. In the novel The Trickster archetype

...uineness, and a sense of duty in relationships with other people. Ultimately, I take those three traits very seriously by trying to fulfill my duty to the fullest potential. Lastly, being twenty-four, I am between the stages of overcoming and distinguishing my identity crisis and beginning to enter young adulthood. Getting ready to graduate college this semester and joining the military, I am starting to establish my independence from my parents and entering autonomously as a mature, responsible adult. I plan to serve a term in the military, apply for a federal law enforcement profession, and start my own family.
Throughout life, we all have things that can be used to describe us from our birth to the present. One quote that describes my life is by Maya Angelou, a powerful feminist and poet, in it she states, “I am a Woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal Woman, that’s me.” It shows that I am an intelligent, persevering, and vocal women in society. In life, so far I only have a few stages under my belt, like from childhood, preteen years, and teenage years. Through these periods in my life I have become a vibrant, focused, and independent woman.
An archetype in literature is defined as a typical example of a certain type of person. A character in a poem or play can be placed into many different archetype categories. Archetypes help a reader to gain a better understanding of who a character in the work is on the inside. This deeper insight into the character allows the reader to follow the flow of the story easier and more effectively. There are many different archetypes that can help to advance the story. One of the most useful in advancing this story is the typical powerful character. Whether it be supernatural or cunningness this character always comes out on top in the situation and holds the most control over others and their actions. “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?”,
A ruler must be able to take an active role in the part that he or she is stepping up to. A leader must not sit back and observe what is going on, they should be making the decisions that is best for everybody and be making sure that all their
Archetypes have been around for thousands of years, dating back to at least Plato discussing his “Theory of Forms”. In a literary contexts we think of archetypes such as the hero, the mentor, the journey, or the initiation. When looked at from these perspectives it appears that there is nothing original to write about, but these archetypes are used over and over with much success. The reason is because the writer and the reader empathize with the archetypes. Take for example the Initiation archetype, also called the Coming of Age story, in it is the struggle of the young against the old in an attempt to obtain individuality, and freedom that reflects what Jungian psychologists call, a “father complex”, a type of subset to the oedipus complex, in the authors.

Growing up, I was given the freedom to choose who I wanted to be, to decide what I wanted to do. I grew up with many different opportunities and chances to try out new things. A simple life I led as a child, sheltered and loved by all, but I was oblivious to reality, lost in my own “perfect” world. Yet as I grew up and began to surpass the age of imaginary worlds, the idea of “perfection” had begun to fade and reality began to settle in. Like a splash of cold water, I went from a childish mindset to an adult’s. Child hood play was a thing of the past and responsibility became the norm.
Three main components play a part in the realization of the archetype. First of these, the dynamic component, is the effect of the archetype. This effect is "manifested in energetic processes within the psyche." Whether it remains unconscious or "grips" the conscious, every mood, positive or negative, manic or depressive, is an expression of the dynamic effect of the archetype. The dynamic action of the archetype "extends beyond unconscious instinct and continues to operate as an unconscious will that determines the personality." It not only has a "decisive influence" on the mood, but also the inclinations and tendencies of the personality, and "ultimately on it's conceptions, intentions, interests, on consciousness and the specific direction of the mind." Secondly, the symbolism of the archetype occurs when the activity of the unconscious manifests itself in "specific psychic images." Each archetype, when confronted with consciousness, is perceived in a symbolic form or image separate from the image of any other archetype. For example, the Great Mother archetype will have a dif...

I pursue my goals to the end and I never rest until I accomplish them. I 'm confident that my companions would depict me as a compassionate and kind individual.

My personal vision of the future is not something I have taken a significant amount of time to ponder in the past. I have general ideas of where I see myself both personally and professionally in future but have not identified specific steps to get there or pondered why I want to be in that situation. When taking on this somewhat daunting task of identifying my future self it is important to identify my driving values, philosophy, dreams, and my personal calling. Self-reflection on these characteristics and preferences are key to a developing a successful picture of the future.
