Aristotle believes that in nature man is either a “beast or a god”, because without the polis, they are no better than an animal. He says that at the core, man…

There are multiple concepts throughout our text that I learned of that were interesting. I believe that the concepts of the benefits and disadvantages of being diagnosed with a disorder, psychological treatments, and the scientific method was however the interesting subjects that applied to me. Throughout the course I was able to relate to these and understand them, and they are something I believe I will find useful in a future setting. These concepts also help me understand certain situations…

It is scientifically proven that people are very good at giving in when they are presented with a small request first before they are asked the bigger request (which would be unlikely for people to comply to). Anything can be used as a request, as long as it is evident to gain a favorable result. This compliance tactics is deployed as the Foot-in-the-Door Technique (Jonathan L. Freedman, 1966). The Foot-in-the-Door technique involves in getting a person to agree to a small request first, and…

readings has really changed my view on the whole career field itself. I’ve always categorized psychology as a science but never did I imagine just how much of a science it really is. Although I wouldn’t rank it over sciences such as biology or chemistry, I consider psychology to be a fundamental aspect of scientific studies. Many might argue that psychology shouldn’t be consider a science because it doesn’t…

another hand the scientific community says that is impossible to change completely the method. There are reports that animals have been used by humans since of the age of Aristoteles. From that time the animals have been becoming indispensable for the science advancements. We are aware that some of those studies may cause some pain in the animals, such as the methods used in the cosmetic industry causing skin burns in test animals. However, without…

A significant opportunity in my life that has had a major impact on me is an organization called Kids Are Scientists Too. KAST is a student-run non-profit corporation that aims to inspire young scholars to be interested in science and learning through fun, interactive science experiments led by passionate teachers. I was one of those passionate teachers. When I first heard of KAST, I immediately knew that I could contribute to the organization. I applied to become the lead at an elementary…
