The Story About Psychology

I think psychology encompasses studying everything in your mind; your conscience, how smart you are, behavior, feelings, and emotions. There are so many parts to learn about psychology, probably because of how many parts are in the brain! After reading chapter 1 my view has changed a little bit but not alot. After reading the chapter I learned that every little thing you do has some aspect of psychology in it. I also found out that some things can be tested in a laboratory through experiments. Psychology affects my life in many ways. Every decision I make has alot of thinking to it and whenever I make that decision my conscience goes over it again and again to see if I made the right decision. After reading chapter one I think about my emotions more; when I am angry I think why does my brain make me angry. This class makes me think more about my actions and I am more cautious in making decisions. One thing i was really interested in was the part in chapter one that was talking about 911. The book was talking saying that commentators said people in the secon tower should have immediately evacuated after the first tower was hit but they thought it was an accident and didn't think it would happen to the second tower. I thought to myself that if I was in that second tower I probably would have thought the same thing, that it was an accident. In our math class we are going through the scientific method and I thought it was interesting that that is how psychologists ask and answer questions.
