Dialogue

Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, might seem to some to be a strange addition to a list of great scientists.
After all, his investigation into the interaction of the conscious and unconscious has been called quackery and pseudoscience practically since the start.
Because the claims of psychoanalysis cannot be empirically tested or independently verified, critics cry that it can’t be scientific. Ergo it has no role in a therapist’s toolkit.
And yet he endures nearly a century after his death.
In his writings, Freud developed a tripartite model of human psychic structure, made up of the “id,” “ego ” and “superego.”
Dream interpretation and free association helped him to discover transference, where repressed feelings toward one person are redirected or transferred to another.
In the aftermath of his death, still shunned by science, Freudian analysis found refuge in the humanities, where it is still thriving today, especially in literary criticism.
Outside of academia, Freud’s impact on modern popular culture cannot be overstated, something to which anyone who has ever let out a “Freudian slip” can attest.
Grammar
ergo
Although Latin is an ancient language, it is still used by people all around the world. The word “ergo” in today’s lesson is an example.
“Ergo” is basically another way to say “therefore,” so you can use them interchangeably.
Or, another great way to use “ergo” is when you are presenting an argument with several parts. This doesn’t have to be a complex argument: Just one where you want to make sure someone can follow your logical path. For example: A, therefore B. B, ergo C.
1. You were present at the time of the robbery, ergo you were called as a witness.
2. It was difficult to find a star, ergo it was difficult to find funding for the movie.
3. She lived on campus, ergo her transportation budget was quite low.
4. ________________________________________________________________.
