Harry Harlow
Harry Frederick Harlow was probably best known for his experimentations on monkeys to discover the effect of maternal-separation, what exactly were the dependency needs on a living being, and experiments in social isolation for the subject. His research showed the rest of society the importance of companionship and caregiving to social as well as cognitive development. Speculators believe that part of the reason Harlow was so obsessed with these kinds of studies was because he didn’t have a very good childhood himself. Even at an early age, he claimed to struggle with depression. His mother and father weren’t extremely involved in his life as well. This possibly led him to gain so much interest in the study of essentially love and how it effected other people that you may be close with.
At the time, it was said that love began as a feeding bond with the mother and applied by extension to other family members. Other theories claimed that humans and other social animals lived in organized societies simply to help with sexual contact. Starting in 1957, Harlow worked with rhesus monkeys. The reason behind why he chose this specific type of breed was because the monkeys that they were utilizing were more mature at birth than humans, but like human babies show a range of emotions and needed to be nursed. During the experimentations, he took infant monkeys away from their real mothers and gave them instead two artificial mothers. One of the models were made
"It isn't about the name on the back of the jersey, but the one on the front," says the same kind of person who feels no empathy for an athlete's struggles.

One of the studies was conducted by Harlow in 1959 who wanted to study the mechanisms by which new-born rhesus monkeys bond with their mothers. He tested the learning theory by comparing attachment behaviour in the monkeys given wire surrogate mother producing milk with those given a soft towelling mother producing no milk.
“Discovering Love” is an article about the definition of love and the different aspects, such as how it works and where you get it. Developmental psychologist Harry Harlow is the main contributor to this study. Harlow was particularly interested in how early life experiences, specifically interaction with one’s mother or primary caregiver, impact an individual’s ability to love and be loved by others later in life.
Harry Morey Callahan was born on October 22, 1912 in Detroit, Michigan. When Harry was in high school he didn’t really care about his academics at all. Though he didn’t care much in succeeding in school he eventually attended Michigan State University. He was there at Michigan State for only 5 terms. In 1936, Harry quit school to go and get married with his wife to be, Eleanor Knapp. During the time of the depression he was able to find a job at the Chrysler Motor Company. There at the company he worked as an office clerk. While working as an office clerk in 1938, he purchased his first camera.
Harlow gathered 16 rhesus monkeys, placing some with a cloth covered monkey that did not produce food, and some with a wired monkey that dispensed food. With this presence, it was found that the newborns didn’t die as they had the cloth to cuddle. It was found that the monkeys would rather cuddle the cloth covered monkey rather than the wired one which produced food, just to establish a sense of contact comfort, which was much more important for the attachment of the monkeys. Harlow also followed monkeys which had been deprived of a ‘real’ mother at birth and found the wire mother reared monkeys were dysfunctional but those with the cloth covered one didn’t develop normal social
According to the Harlow’s monkey experiment showing to us, that how the attached our relationship as the humans between an infants and parents. This experiment teach us to how healthy relationship parents needs to develop and maintains with children so in the future they do not feel insecure attachment. Based on an experiment, every human being and different types of animals always need a love, comfort, warmth from every relationship. Some people can lives without foods some weeks or several months but those people are given most importance to the human psychology behaviors like thought, feelings, attitudes and values between the children and parents. For example, new born baby already have strong biologically, psychology and physically bonds
Harry Harlow’s thorough research on the connection between maternal comfort and rhesus monkeys provides information and knowledge to the reader as an insight into our social and emotional development. In this article, Harlow uses experimental observation of mental and emotional associations of the affectionate ties between the child and the mother. As Harlow says, this is “an instinct incapable of analysis”.
Lorenz (1935) revealed strong bonds with non-humans with first moving objects that they encounter; which was not always with the mother. In precocial species the mobile young animal needs to quickly identify its caregiver and remain close to them for survival. This is known as imprinting. As this happens before any feeding has taken place the study on Rhesus monkeys does not apply in the same way. Firstly Lorenz used goslings which are called precocial; meaning that they quickly develop to move around, and have well developed sense organs.
In his drunken self-conscience the truth was released. He began to fathom the underlying details that he couldn’t pick up from his time with the monkeys earlier. Still trying to hold on to thoughts put into his mind, “He mistook each infant monkey for a beloved soul. In that way the nightmare was confusing” (Millet 314). As you can see it is still in his conception not to believe himself that what he was doing was wrong. This is a battle between his self-conscience and what he was taught to believe. Finally, actuality kicked in, “He saw each infant in the heart of its mother, precious, unique, held so close because the mother was willing to die for it.” (314). What Harlow saw was the absolute certainty of what his inner being was desperately attempting to communicate to him. It was that he was wrong. The test subjects before him were real living things just like himself.
Harry Houdini was a magician that was born on March 21, 1874. In 1894, he officially launched his career as a magician, later earning the attention of Martin Beck, who was an entertainment manager. His manager got him his first show, where the local police had to help him out. In this show, he asked the police to strip search him, and then lock him in the jail. Harry Houdini then proceeded to get himself out of the jail, shocking everyone who was watching. Harry Houdini’s shows went from anything from handcuffs and being locked in jails, to being locked in tanks full of water with chains around him. Harry Houdini was the biggest mystery of the decade for a lot of people. In 1912, his career reached a life or death situation. He attempted, and
Harry Houdini was one of the greatest escape artists and magician of all time. His tricks and escapes pondered the minds of people of then and still to this day. His career has influenced many people to see if they can trick and ponder the human mind as Harry did. Harry Houdini is one of the most beloved and influential magicians, making him have to work harder to ponder the minds of the world.
The quote describes how Canadian model Winnie Harlow presented herself to the public for the first time. She is a model who has vitiligo, a skin pigmentation which causes the skin to naturally transition from light to dark, or the other way around. Skin conditions are more than what the average human being thinks. They are more than just something on one’s face. People do not know the adversity which people whom have skin conditions have to go through just to be where they are now. Examples of different icons today who express who they are, are: Winnie Harlow, Drew Elliott, Kechi Okwuchi, and a significant character, August Pullman. These people struggled in life as children due to two things. One, being naturally, and the other being from
However, the monkey study was conducted on monkeys and it could be argued that this is not an accurate representation of human attachment. Humans are a lot more complex than animals and so therefore research on animals to study behaviour cannot be applied to human behaviour.
Erich Weiss or Harry Houdini the name most people know him by was born into this world on March 25, 1874 to a family of four other children later to become seven and two parents that worked as Rabbis. Harry’s family moved to America four years later where they then settled in Appleton Wisconsin. His family then moved to Milwaukee years later and finally settled in New York where Harry would be influenced to begin what he is best known for, Magic. As a young boy Houdini worked as a trapeze artist so he became familiar with other magicians and the show business although he wasn’t famous yet. After he was done with the circus Houdini worked on locks and how to open them without a key. By now Houdini worked as a necktie cutter so he would be able to pay for the lock picking pastime of his. When Houdini was about seventeen years old he began working as a street/stage magician in New York to boost his popularity. It is about this time when Harry changed his name to make a stage name, Harry is just the German version of Erich but Houdini actually came from Harry’s role model French magician Robert Houdin. By the time he was twenty years old Harry now a semi-professional stage magician is working in yet another circus where he began to practice his escape artist tricks and other magic tricks. At about this time Houdini met and married another actor he met at one of his shows Beatrice Raymond later known as Bess Houdini. Houdini worked up his reputation in America from escaping
