Due to almost dying from pneumonia in his early childhood, he decided in that moment he would pursue to be doctor one day. Due to his early decision, he graduated with a degree in medicine from the University of Vienna in the year 1895. During college, he participated in a variety of social groups. In one of the social groups is where he met and married his wife in 1897. His medical career started with ophthalmology. However, not long after Adler went into general practice. He worked in less fortunate parts of Vienna and mostly worked with circus people. Later in life, he changed his career
to work with psychology. Adler was encouraged by Sigmund Freud to attend a weekly group including two others. Due to this weekly group, eventually the psychoanalytic movement began to develop. Within the group, Freud and Adler had teamed up and formed the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society. In 1911, Adler had decided to leave the group because his different views compared to Freud. There was an importance Adler saw in the social context and later founded the Society of Individual Psychology in 1912. Through Adler’s research, determination, and other findings, he was able help in the field of psychology with his ideas and beliefs. Body Alfred Adler promoted his thoughts and ideas of psychology concepts by highlighting social awareness. Many have wondered what kind of force helped motivate us through the trials in our lives. The answer was Alfred Adler. He assisted in the Austrian Army in World War 1 by helping heal the wounded. Helping as doctor in the war, he was able to see how the war destroyed so much of the world. When Adler took in this tragedy, he decided to create clinics and lecture tours through the United States and Europe during the war. Through these clinics and tours, Adler gave the information about concepts of psychology and the importance of social interest to many people. He believed that if humanity wanted to survive, there was going to have to be a change in order to save it. Sadly, the clinics were shut down because of Adler’s Jewish heritage. After, Alfred travelled to the United States and took a position at Long Island College of Medicine. Adler and his family officially left Vienna in 1934 forever to start a new life.

Oskar Schindler accomplished many things within his life, such as saving the Jews, being a German spy, and helping the economy. His accomplishments have benefited those throughout his life. Although his kindness for his fellow man ran deep, so did his greed for boosting his own personal status within the community. There are still those today that believe that Oskar Schindler only saved the Jews for his own personal gain, but there are also those that believe that he did it out of kindness. Whether he did it out of good morale or simply for his own greed, Oskar Schindler 's many accomplishments have impacted plenty of lives.
Despite his university education, Sill remained indecisive about his future career. His love of knowledge pulled him in all directions, from writing to medicine. To make his final decision, he moved to California with his good friend Sextus Shearer. Ultimately, Sill spent a majority of his life writing and teaching, both on the East coast and the ...
The eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg are blue and gigantic… They look out of no face but… from a pair of enormous yellow spectacles… Evidently some wild wag of an oculist set them there to fatten his practice… then sank down himself into eternal blindness or forgot them and moved away. But his eyes, dimmed a little by many paintless days under sun and rain, brood on over the solemn dumping ground. (Fitzgerald, 27-28)
Kohler married in his twenties and was a father of four. Few details exist on their marriage but later events suggest that all was not well (Schultz & Schultz, 2004). After earning his doctorate, he worked in a Psychological institute in Frankfurt (1910-1913) with Max Wertheimer and Kurt Koffka. This was the start of the Gestalt psychology (“Wolfgang Köhler,” n.d.; Zawidzki, 2004). Because Gestalt psychology was the study of perception, he pursued his ideas through the research with animals, sp...

Alfred Bernhard Nobel is a scientist ,author, pacifist, and above all of that he is inventor of dynamite and the holder of 355 patents. He was born on October, 21, 1833, in Stockholm, Sweden and he is the fourth of Immanuel and Caroline Andriette Nobel’s eight children. He was raised in the capital of Russia where there were a wonderful mixture of different cultures and nationalities, and a great harmony between science and literature. Alfred was a weak child who always got sick but at the same time he was lively and curious about the world around him. Alfred’s father, Immanuel Nobel, was a descendant of the Swedish scientist Olaus Rudbeck , therefore Alfred the boy was interested in engineering, particularly explosives and he learnt the basic principles from his father at a young age. Alfred’s father, Immanuel Nobel was an engineer, inventor and a builder who built bridges and buildings in Stockholm, beside that he experimented for blasting rocks with different techniques because of his construction work.
Often, he patted water hydrants and parking meters, and is appalled when the furnitures doesn’t reply to him as he makes a conversation. Although Dr.P physically and mentally felt great, he went to his eye doctor who recommended him to Mr.Sacks. During his appointment with Oliver Sacks, he was able to distinguish abstract objects. However, as the objects became more complexed, he began to guess. Sacks was shocked to find Dr.P facing him with his right ear, rather than his eyes. Not only that, but Dr.P had also mistook his wife for his hat and his foot for his shoe. Sacks wanted to understand more about his case and went to his house a few days later. He came upon Dr.P’s artwork, which was placed in chronological order. There was a massive difference between his art work then and now. Before it was, “naturalistic and realistic, with vivid mood and atmosphere, but finely detailed and concrete. Then, years later, they became less vivid, less concrete, less realistic and naturalistic, but far more abstract, even geometric and cubist,” (Sacks 17). Sacks was curious on how Dr.P was able to function in life, so he asked his wife. “I put his usual clothes out, in all the usual places, and he dresses without difficulty, singing to himself,” (Mrs.P 17). Music centered all around Mr.P’s life, which made him able to live an average life. Although his disease became worse
I believe that Alfred Prufrock works in the medical field. He clearly attends tea parties and is surrounded by sophisticated people that speak of Michelangelo. He shows he has money because he wears a morning coat and tie, which is like a tuxedo today. Alfred describes the evening sky like a patient etherized upon a table which is describing a patient anesthetized during operation. Also he says there will be time to murder and create which is the essence of what doctors do. He could be talking about his ability to save lives or accidentally kill someone. For all the works and days of hands shows he probably works with his hands. He is also very cultivated with his knowledge of Shakespeare and The Bible showing he is well schooled like doctors. ...

At the University, he studied both physics and medical physiology. There, his doctoral teacher was Andreas von Ettingshausen. Mach received his doctorate in physics in the year 1860. Earlier his work was composed of working on the Doppler Effect in optics. After receiving his doctorate, Mach went on to teach mathematics as a professor at the University of Graz.

Schiller was born on November 10, 1759 to Johann Kaspar Schiller and Elisabeth Dorothea Kodweiß in Marbach, Württemberg. His father was an officer and a surgeon in the army of the Duke Karl Eugen, and was often unable to visit his family due to his enlistment in the Seven Years’ War. At the young age of seven, Schiller aspired to have a career in the clergy. However, the Duke Karl Eugen insisted Schiller enroll in the elite Karlsschule, a military academy, to study medicine. Although he was able to differentiate himself from his classmates and achieve academic excellence, Schiller found the school to be oppressive, and secretly studied literature. A year after his graduation in 1780, Schiller completed and self-published his first play, Die Räuber, drawing the attention of Wolfgang Heribert von Dalberg, the director of the Mannheim National Theater. Because of the play...
