Go, learn and discover!

Hello! :) Today I would like to tell you more about the project called Erasmus. This program gives a chance to students to go abroad and to learn at the foreign university whenever they want (at the first, second, third, fourth or fifth year of studies). Due to the fact that I was a participant of this project, I will try to present you how it works and whether I mention it positively or not :) But from the beginning… As you already know, each university allows students to go to the another country in order to enrich their knowledge according to their studies.

"The mind is like an iceberg, it floats with one-seventh of its bulk above water" Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) was born in Austria. He developed the technique of psychoanalysis in his treatment of patients with mental disorders. His most famous book, "The Interpretation of Dreams" was published in 1900. Freud argued that we all have an unconscious mind as well as a conscious one. The unconscious in where our motivations originate and our fears are buried. Memories, especially from childhood, have a huge influence on the way we are now, but we are unaware of their significance. We deny or resist becoming conscious of these motives. Freud's proposals came when strict scientific methods were seen as the only way to discover truth. By introducing the notion of the unconscious, Freud undermined the belief that we are in control of our actions, thoughts and behavious all the time. He is commonly referred to as "the father of psychoanalysis" and his
