inherited universal ideas, wishes, and memories.
Certainly! To determine the correct answer between options A and D regarding Carl Jung's idea of the collective unconscious, let's break it down and explore the concepts behind each option.
Option A suggests that the collective unconscious consists of inherited universal ideas, wishes, and memories. According to Jung, the collective unconscious contains archetypes, which are innate and universal psychological patterns. These archetypes are shared among all individuals, across cultures and generations. They represent fundamental human experiences and themes that are deeply rooted in our collective history.
Option D proposes that the collective unconscious comprises ideas that arise from, and are specific to, one's own culture. However, it is important to note that Jung believed the collective unconscious transcends individual cultures. While cultural experiences may influence the specific expression and interpretation of the archetypes, the archetypes themselves are believed to be universal.
Based on Jung's theory, the correct answer would be option A – inherited universal ideas, wishes, and memories. These shared elements reflect the deeper and fundamental aspects of human psychology that are common to all individuals, regardless of their cultural background.
Therefore, option D, which suggests that the collective unconscious consists of ideas specific to one's own culture, does not align with Jung's idea of the collective unconscious.
