Jung’s concept of God revealing himself through the collective unconscious has been of great interest to theologians

18. Personal Experiences Anima and animus
How would Jung’s theory account for the increased acceptance and occurrence of female aggression (and male passivity) in the classroom?
Take a few minutes to list 5 different ways in which you can internally identify with or outwardly express your anima (if you’re male) or animus (if you’re female).
Ask your roommate or friends of the same sex to do the same thing, and then compare and contrast lists.
