The iceberg theory can be used to explain the phenomenon of internal conflicts within an association. The reason why the output rate of the association's works is not high, on the surface, is that no one replies to the notices from the activity organizer, or members play with their mobile phones with their heads down during regular meetings, or the attendance rate is very low. This is the visible part in the iceberg theory. The underlying reason lies in the issue of the power structure, the formation of small cliques privately, and the huge disparity in value identification. This is the part of the iceberg theory that is hidden underwater.

Just like in the academic field, whenever a major exam approaches, many students say, "Forget it, just pass," but in reality, they cram at the last minute. The 1/8 above the water in the iceberg theory represents this superficial last-minute cramming and the "I don't care" language used as a consolation, while the hidden 7/8 beneath the water symbolizes the deep anxiety, contradiction, and struggle within. They regret not studying hard enough during normal times, worry about what to do if they fail the exam, and hope that last-minute cramming can miraculously earn them a high score. This behavior and mentality reflect the iceberg theory. It reminds us to look beyond the surface and understand the essence: "Why do we have such behavior?"

In my opinion, the iceberg theory tells us when something happened, we can't only pay attention to the reason which is obvious, instead of it, we should pay more attention to those unobvious reasons. And there are many examples that can demonstrate this theory. for example, when children cry, we might think of that if they are uncomfortable or if they were punished by others for instance. But if we use the iceberg theory, under the iceberg might be the child wants to be loved and be concerned by others.

The iceberg theory was proposed by psychologist Freud, which refers to the tiny surface layer and the larger, more critical parts underwater. In the book 'The Old Man and the Sea', although only a few details are used to depict the struggle between the old man and fate.

In daily reading, the iceberg theory enables us to explore more of the author's intentions. When shooting a film, the iceberg theory leaves us more room for imagination and stimulates our creativity.The iceberg theory is also very useful in analyzing social phenomena and major social issues. For instance, nowadays women are becoming increasingly aware and independent, and they understand that they need to grasp their own rights and power. However, some people criticize this as "fighting with fists". The underlying reason is the disrespect towards women in the patriarchal society. It is the inherent arrogance and presumption.

The Iceberg Theory can be effectively applied to the field of mental health therapy, particularly in understanding human behavior and emotions. Just as only a small portion of an iceberg is visible above water, much of what drives human behavior lies beneath the surface in the unconscious mind. This theory helps therapists recognize that patients' conscious statements may only scratch the surface of deeper psychological issues. For example, a patient might express mild frustration about their job, but the underlying issue could be rooted in unresolved childhood trauma or unconscious fears. Therapists can uncover these hidden aspects by using techniques like free association or dream analysis, leading to more effective treatment plans. This approach aligns with Freud's psychoanalytic theory, where the iceberg represents the conscious (visible) and unconscious (hidden) mind, emphasizing the importance of exploring the unseen layers to understand and address mental health challenges fully .

I think it can be applied in interpersonal communication. In interacting with others, what we see in their behavior, words, etc. is just the tip of the iceberg, while the personality, values, and growth experiences behind them are hidden underwater.

I think the Iceberg Theory can be applied in the process of learning. For instance, just like the saying "accumulate richly and break forth moderately", perhaps a person's knowledge is not as superficial as it seems on the surface, but rather has profound connotations.

The iceberg theory has extremely strong application value in the field of interpersonal relationships. Take the quarrels between couples as an example. They frequently quarrel over whether the toilet seat should be put down. The man regarded this as an insignificant detail of life, while the woman insisted that it was a family rule. Beneath the iceberg: The woman is strictly controlled by the family, and the sense of rules is deeply rooted in her bones. The man grew up in a free-range environment. The woman gains a sense of security through rules, while the man gains trust through freedom. The woman believes compromise is proof of love, while the man thinks that coercion equals the desire for control. Application practice: Both sides should use the "I sentence pattern" to express: "When the toilet seat is upright, I feel disrespected" instead of "You are always so selfish". Both sides replaced "rules" with the concept of "family regulations" and jointly discussed the principles of life.

The Iceberg Theory can be applied in fields such as education, interpersonal relationships, and mental health, helping individuals and organizations better solve problems and achieve personal and team growth. During adolescence, I often quarreled with my mother over trivial matters, such as my slow housework and the messy room. But the underlying reason might be inappropriate communication methods and inconsistent ideas. Guided by the Iceberg Theory, family members can delve deeply into each other's feelings, expectations and desires, enhancing understanding and improving relationships.

It can be adopted in parent-child relationships.A child always appears obedient and well-behaved in front of their parents. However, in reality, the child may be facing some problems at school, such as being bullied by classmates or having heavy study pressure. They choose to hide these issues because they are afraid of worrying their parents or thinking that it's useless to talk about them.

And here I'd like to give my own experience about this topic. Iceberg Theory, in my word, i just want to say: Never judge a book by its cover. You know i love The Lord of The Rings written by John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. I wholly love the masterpiece and as for me i can't just acknowledge that the book is fantastic to read but should pay attaintion to something behind this masterpiece.(Such as Quenya,the language, that the writor created by himself . A mass of things are undersurface needing us to explore.

The Iceberg Theory can be applied to self-awareness. When we experience significant emotional fluctuations, the emotions that emerge are like the part of the iceberg above the water. However, we must calm down and ask ourselves what caused these emotions, such as what reasons or events led to them. Facing up to our inner needs and emotional states is helpful for us to manage our emotions better and understand ourselves more deeply.

I think this theory can be used in psychotherapy. There is a direct connection between people's inner world and their real behaviors. For example, I am currently performing the work of a psychological committee member. I need to frequently contact classmates with psychological problems and try my best to help them solve the problems. Especially when I judge whether a person has a psychological problem, I usually do it through his or her behavior. This utilizes the principle of the Iceberg Theory. The visible part is their behavior and language, while the hidden part is their inner feelings, desires, viewpoints, and so on. Therefore, if I want to solve their psychological problems, I need to solve their problems psychologically. Understand and help them from the bottom of their hearts.

I think the Iceberg Theory can be applied to weight loss or interpersonal relationships. For example, in the weight loss plan I started these days, being full of fighting spirit during the day and strictly controlling my diet represents the "superego" that wants to lose weight on the surface, while being unable to control myself and eating snacks at night is the deep-seated "id". So, based on this experience, I plan to stop this unhealthy eating habit, eat properly again, control the portion size of each meal, and try to eat less at each meal to achieve the true "ego". Another example is in the dormitory relationship. A roommate may dislike the behavior and habits of other roommates but has never expressed it. On the surface, everyone gets along amicably, just like the tip of the iceberg that is exposed. However, there is actually dissatisfaction with each other behind the scenes. This kind of contradiction is hidden in everyone's expressions and words. It could be a complaint when a roommate is sulking, or an impatient glance. Even though it is not clearly shown, it can still lead to misunderstandings and cause quarrels. Therefore, I believe that good communication is an essential part of resolving disputes, and perhaps setting some rules can make the dormitory relationship more harmonious.

Similarly, in a work team, if a colleague is performing poorly, instead of just focusing on the surface - level performance issues, we can use the Iceberg Theory to explore the possible underlying causes, such as personal difficulties, lack of training, or conflicts within the team. By addressing these hidden issues, we can help the colleague improve their performance and enhance the overall efficiency of the team.

I think the iceberg theory can be applied to the psychological aspect, especially in terms of emotions. Take myself as an example. When I have sad or angry and aggrieved emotions, due to my personality and my parents' teachings, I can't show them too much. Just like an iceberg, others can only see the part above the water surface, while I know there are many negative emotions beneath the water surface. If this lasts for a long time, it will cause psychological problems. But now I'm trying to adjust myself, relieving stress by listening to music and drawing, and trying not to worry too much about various things, focusing on the present.

The iceberg theory can be applied to interpersonal communication and relationships. For example, when there is a quarrel between friends, there may be unmet needs hidden under the appearance. At the same time, body language or silence may convey information that is more important than words.

In daily conversation with family online or face-to-face, we may choose to tell them only the good aspects or simply say "I'm fine. " In fact, we might be stressed at work or in study and facing financial pressure.

As a student, I think the iceberg theory can be applied to the study of our daily life. For instance, when we come across a new word, if we merely have a general understanding of its meaning, it's like we only see the surface of an iceberg, that is, a small part of the word. But beneath the ice, there are still many values waiting for us to explore and discover. Its root, part of speech, synonyms, antonyms, etc., are all worth our learning and understanding. When we have mastered the iceberg theory, in our daily studies, we need to carefully distinguish whether what we know is just the tip of the iceberg and take corresponding measures to explore at a deeper level. Only in this way can we truly master and become proficient in these new things. Only after forming this good habit will we not be empty-minded and have nothing to say.

I think the Iceberg Theory is mostly applied in the field of literature. The first time I learned about the Iceberg Theory was in junior high school when studying the article The Old Man And The Sea.

The Iceberg Theory can be applied in the field of education. When teachers are giving lectures or answering students' questions, they can use the Iceberg Theory. After explaining one part, they can guide students to think about another part. In this way, it can not only cultivate students' independent thinking ability but also make the classroom more lively and achieve a positive interaction between teachers and students.

I think the most common application of the iceberg theory is in interpersonal relationships. When starting a relationship, you can predict a person's character and moral qualities based on their casual behaviors. Meanwhile, when a relationship breaks down, it's not just because of one incident, but there are various small conflicts that have been many behind the scenes, which eventually explode when the fuse is lit. This is how I see the iceberg theory reflected in my life.

I think the iceberg theory is very useful in the field of education. Take learning English for example. What can be seen is how many words have been memorized, how many points can be obtained in the composition, and whether the spoken English is fluent. These are like the tips of the iceberg above the water. But what is more important is the part that cannot be seen below the water, such as whether you really like English, whether you are nervous when learning English, whether you are using the right learning methods, and whether you understand the culture of English - speaking countries.

When dealing with problems, the obvious symptoms are the visible part of the iceberg, while the root causes are hidden.In a studyplace, a project might be constantly behind schedule (the visible problem). On the surface, it seems like the team members are not meeting deadlines. But the hidden reasons could be a lack of proper training, unclear communication channels, or a dysfunctional team structure. By digging deeper and uncovering these hidden causes (the hidden part of the iceberg), managers can implement effective solutions. For example, if the root cause is a lack of training, providing relevant training programs can improve the team's efficiency and get the project back on track.

As a “j”person, I think every decision I make is like an iceberg. For example, on the surface, it may seem like I only decided to have home cooked lunch, but beneath this decision lies a careful assessment of my balanced nutrition and expenses, sometimes even including time costs.

In my opinion, parents can apply the iceberg theory to interpret their children's behaviors. When a child shows signs of disinterest in school, they should not merely focus on the surface behavior of not wanting to go to school, but instead delve into the child's inner feelings, such as whether they have been bullied by classmates at school, or whether they find the learning content difficult and stressful. By doing so, parents can provide more targeted assistance to help their children solve problems and guide their healthy growth.

The iceberg theory can be adopted in interpersonal communication. In interpersonal interactions, we can only see the behavior of the other person, which is the upper part of the iceberg, and the real feelings of their hearts, which are the lower part of the iceberg, are often ignored by us.
For example, my classmate is often late for class, and on the surface, he does not manage his time properly, but we dig deeper, maybe the reason why he is late is that he works overtime at night and causes him to lack sleep. Knowing this, the teacher or classmates may make some suggestions to help him improve.

In interpersonal interactions, people's outward behaviors and words are like the tip of the iceberg, while their inner thoughts, emotions, and past experiences are hidden beneath the surface. For example, if a colleague always seems irritable and short - tempered at work, the obvious behavior is the tip of the iceberg. By using the Iceberg Theory, we can try to dig deeper. Maybe they are under great pressure from family problems or have encountered difficulties in their work that they haven't shared with others. If we just focus on the surface behavior and criticize them for being bad - tempered, we won't be able to solve the problem. However, if we consider the possible underlying reasons and have a sincere conversation with them, we may be able to help them relieve stress and improve the situation. This shows that applying the Iceberg Theory in interpersonal relationships can help us better understand others, avoid misunderstandings, and build better relationships.
