explanations for individual’s choice to engage in certain behaviours deemed as risky and irrational. Lyng’s concept of edgework has been useful in understanding young individual’s choice to engage in high-risk activities. The term edgework was borrowed from a journalist named Hunter S. Thompson, who used the term to describe a variety of unruly human behaviours (Lyng 1990, 855). The concept was organised by Lyng into three separated elements. Firstly, for activities to be classified as edgework,…

For Part 1 of this paper, I made a concept map on a Prezi that outlines the six main concepts of the class, the subparts of each concept, and applications to a classroom setting. The six topics, although all different aspects of educational psychology, interact and combine when applied to a classroom setting. Reflecting on my past experiences, I see how knowledge of each concept, both individually and in interaction with other concepts, can enhance one’s teaching. As I was teaching private…

once you consider another idea. This idea is the realization that conformity is a demon to the saving light of self-reliance. Such strong language is very key in getting that concept across to the readers. I believe that the strong language is necessary in conveying the properties of self-reliance, mostly because the concept is a very strong idea, and needs to be expressed in such ways. Speaking of strength, self-reliance requires a lot of strength of will. You must find the strength to cast…

psychologist and cognitive learning theorist, in 1967 (2009).

explore the influence of concepts and theories precisely on political analysis. It will argue that concepts and theories influence political analysis through marginalising important aspects, stretching definitions to allow concepts to reach beyond their limits and are not value-free as they are based on underlying assumptions. However, this is not problematic as they allow us to think critically and widen our understanding of the political paradigm through analysing the concepts themselves and…

way to ensure that this does not happen is by one person teaching everyone the same techniques or concepts from the same material. However, this method may not always work either because a lot of people don’t perceive a change as a good thing which means that they will not be willing to learn the new technique or concept because they may feel that there are some negative repercussions behind such concept or technique. Although, this type of negativity could only last for a temporary or marginal…

supporting the claim. (Huemer 47-57) René Descartes holds the opposite opinion, which he discusses in ‘Meditations One and Two.’ While there is validity to both sides of the argument, Huemer’s essay proves to be more reliable after dissecting Descartes’ concepts of existence. Huemer proposes that no one can know anything about the external world, or anything that exists outside of the mind. It is impossible to be certain of how many fingers one has, or if surrounding objects are real or solely…

predicting how the population engage in their own health behaviours, and the TPB by predicting actual behaviour. It is reported by Montanaro and Bryan (2013) that there have been various studies where the author has observed that there are identical concepts in each theory which are worded differently (Montanaro and Bryan, 2013). The HBM was initially developed in the 1950’s by U.S social psychologist to explain why the uptake of a free tuberculosis screening programme had failed. The HBM was…
