World History: Activity 1

Data
Freuds ideas are just as revolutionary as Einstein's. Albert Einstein was a wellknown German physicist. He mostly offered new ideas in the field of physics, such as ideas
space, time, energy, and matter. He came up with the idea that is now known as the theory of
relativity. His ideas have enhanced and upgraded many of the things and ideas found today.
Another famous physician was Sigmund Freud, who came from Austria. His ideas were mostly
based on psychology. In the past, he treated patients going through with psychological problems.
His famous idea was about how the human minds and behaviors are irrational. He mentioned on
how the irrational part of the human minds and behaviors are beyond reason. He called this part
of the mind the unconscious. Even his ideas were able to extensively influence other people.
Clearly, both Einstein and Freud were able to influence and contribute to where the world
has reached today. Einstein was, and is, known as the scientist who worked out the
inner workings of nature. His ideas changed everyones perspective on time, space, and the
workings of the universe. His celebrity status also allowed him to speak out these ideas. His
ideas were considered to be the groundbreaking ideas to the scientists. One of the ideas he
brought up ideas on time relativity, which talks and explains more on the idea of Issac Newton
on gravity. However, even if his ideas have made a groundbreaking difference, there were some
people that were upset with his ideas. This was mainly because his ideas caused uncertainty and
relativity. Freud came up with the well-known idea of psychoanalysis. This theory mentions
how there are many factors that can cause unaware emotions and behavior to react. It explains
the complex relationship of the body and the mind. This form of treatment helped many of his
patients, and is still useful today. However, just like Einstein, there were a few critics that
suspected on the theory. These critics always found flaws in all of Freuds observations and
explanations. Nevertheless, his idea was able to link the world today with the world of dreams.
Analysis
Einstein and Freud were both able to present revolutionary ideas that are still used till
today. They both had ideas that conflicted with others ideas and beliefs. Einsteins theory
caused uncertainty and relativity, whereas Freuds ideas also caused uncertainty in a persons
beliefs of their minds and behaviors. Both their ideas were able to open up to new aspects in
which people had not yet discovered. Both their ideas were just as revolutionary as the other one,
because both of them weakened the faith in reason. Their extraordinary minds led them to
discover new ideas and new fields that are essential to the world today.
Conclusion
Einsteins ideas on physics were revolutionary, because it solved most of the unanswered
questions on science during those times. Also, his theories were able to introduce scientists into a
new realm of the universe. Freuds ideas were just as revolutionary, because his ideas allowed
people to understand the connection of the human minds with their bodies. His theories also
helped many of his patients that were psychologically disabled. Both their theories and ideas led
to uncertainty on some point. Both their reasons weakened the reason in faith for many people.
Nevertheless, the reason both their ideas were revolutionary is that their courage to speak out
their ideas allowed and introduced people to fields that had not been discovered before. The

ideas changed everyones perspective on how they view different things. It changed everyones
beliefs into more science than religious faith.
