Dear Lee,
How are you my little friend and how is everyone at your home? I hope all doing good. Pass my greetings to them.
I received your letter and was happy to know that you have been promoted to 4 rth and the final year of your college. Wow! You'll graduate after a year. Lee! You mentioned in your letter that you have chosen Mythology (general) as your elective subject and that you are facing some difficulties in it. I went through the attached course outline; there I found out that you will be exploring self, cultures, history, or religion through myth. Also there was a list of theories that you will be presenting throughout this course.
I have collected some data regarding the first theory "Carl Jung's archetypes and the collective unconscious." This data will help you in understanding and presenting this theory as your assignment later on. I have also searched for some references that I will quote throughout this letter so that you can grasp my ideas quickly.

This part contains of experiences and knowledge that humans share as species.
Before moving further, I guess you should first know about the origins of archetypes. "The most powerful ideas in history go back to archetypes. In their present form they are variants...
Self Carl Jung's archetypes and the collective unconscious This is a mythology concept based on the Freud's personal unconscious. Freud was in a quest to understand the reason behind some behaviors that were expressed by some individuals. He sought to understand what made the behaviors so automated and happened spontaneously. This prompted him to delve into the mind of people and try to understand that secret driving force within the mind.

Mill take issue with the Puritans? Explain. Famed government theoretician John Stuart Mill took great exception with the Puritans who traveled to the New World in order to start a community based upon similar fanatical religious beliefs.
