When a son loves his mom or a daughter loves her dad in a sexual way, this is known as the Oedipus Complex. P
A daughter will be jealous of her mom and want to kill her to be with her dad. P
The Greek Oedipus killed his dad to marry his mom Jocasta. P
But psychologists have argued that the term Oedipus complex only applies to boys. P
So the boys had The Oedipus Complex and the girls have The Electra Complex. P
Electra is derived from a Greek myth as well. P

Abortion may be something women can choose to do in America, but other countries say otherwise. P
30-5 Lesson 9-3-3
The debate of whether people could abort their pregnancies has come a long way. P
The clash is whether or not the unborn fetus inside the mother should be terminated or not. P

Is the baby thought to be a livng child at a certain stage of pregnancy? P
Religious and conservatives view that abortion is wrong under any circumstance, while the liberals see fit that mother should be able to make the decision. P

It's like a fashion statement. P
30-9 Lesson 9-5-1

If you want to be successful, you should watch what you say and make sure it doesn't offend anyone. P
30-11 Lesson 9-5-3
Successful people enjoy success because they have a view on life that is not the same as those of unsuccessful people. P
Success comes only through knowing people and having relationships with many people. P
You don't always have to flatter someone and pay someone off to be successful. P
One recipe to success is making new contacts and continuing to talk with already existing contacts. P
Successful people often leave gift cards and send thank you letters for a lot of things. P
The hardest thing to say to someone who isn't that close is "sorry", but it is important to do if you want to keep contacts. P
Saying sorry doesn't mean that you are a weak person, so we need practice saying sorry with confidence and conviction. P
Lastly, you must think before you speak because if you don't, you might lose a lot of friends, which could jeapardize your success. P

30-15 Lesson 9-7-1
Popular culture has convinced people to buy things in order to be cool and hip. P

Individuals show who they are by wearing a certain clothing style, driving a certain car, and sometimes listening to a certain genre of music. P
People don't realize that the media outlets and brand name companies launch huge advertisement campaigns to lure people into buying unnecessary things. P

These thoughts cause wrong consumerism. P
30-17 Lesson 9-7-3
Destructive consumerism can be caused by unhealthy desires. P
Some people buy objects to show off. They live to be seen and envied by others. P
Therefore, everyday they need new things that can enhance their self-image. P
People like that are easily blinded by companies' seductive advertisements. In addition, they buy newer and newer things even though they cannot afford them. P
People should know that showing off to others is not fulfilling. P
We must not wish to embody a false image. P
