Carl Rogers

Well, I totally forgot this good fellow....... I need to do research on him now......

Carl rogers is the founder of the Humanistic Theory.

Human...... seems to me that this theory is not a cold- minded logical thinking result, but more to the result of compassionate thinking to make society a better place to live.

Rogers created what he called the self theory.

The self theory focuses on the idea that we are all inherently good people and we all want to reach our potential- he called this our actualizing tendency.

To reach this potential we need three things, genuineness, acceptance and empathy.

Genuineness is the idea that you are totally open with your own feelings.

Everyday each one of us walks around trying to live up to the image of how we want others to see us.

Instead, Rogers wants us to drop the facade and become our true selves.

Empathy is the concept that we can listen, understand and mirror what others are feeling. Being able to put yourself into someone else's shoes and grasp how they feel at that moment is a test of empathy.

Finally, Roger's believed we need acceptance to grow and reach our potential.

We believed that we should accept both ourselves and others without reservation and he called this notion unconditional positive regard.

If a parent accepts you just if you get good grades, how will that make you fell?

But if a parent accepts their child unconditionally, a child's growth will be positive.

I did do some research on the history background of this theory, then I found that the society is much to accounted for.

It was set back in late 1950s, "Make Love, Not War" era is at its peak.

Well, if love was in everything you do, I can't see no reason why it will not making you more compassionate ever?

So, my personal view, a person will stress more upon on personal attitude rather than personal work done.

Unlike robots, we human are able to have feelings.

And feelings, that makes us make many important decisions in our life.
