in the first place he would have never been given a reason to beat him so, in that case I feel that Peterson as a father needs to work on his disciplinary methods. As a child, I must say that I did get spankings but, not to the extent where bruises were left or I was bleeding. My mom never wanted to hurt me; she just wanted to teach me right from wrong. Sometimes, my mom would do things such as take my television time away for a couple of hours or a day to discipline me or even my cell phone…

I love work and accomplishment however; once I start being lazy and procrastinating, I easily fall into that…

This movie shows how groups vary in communication skills. Larger groups tend to have a more complex way of communicating. Members in larger groups usually have less opportunities to voice their thoughts and opinions. Throughout this movie I observed how a group of jurors, 12 men, communicated with each other to determine the fate of an 18 year old accused young man. This movie perfectly portrayed the different stages of group development: forming, storming, norming, and performing. In the…

Koch (2010) wrote a review article about task switching and mention how task switching has become an experimental paradigm in order to observe how cognitive control works. They go on to mention how the major goal in task switching studies is to find out what the switch costs are during each task that is performed by the participants.

Why do people believe that Asians tend to have big brains and do well in school? A psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, Dr. Thomas Miklusak, once said, “The pressure for Asian students to do well in school and college admission tests could lead to a lot of shame and guilt.” Asian parents tend to be obsessed with their child’s grades and test scores — this is hard on average Asians like me who don’t always get straight A’s. In my parent’s perspective, they came from poor immigrant families and…

There is this theory that describes how we tend to make our decisions: Prospect Theory! Kahneman and Tversky developed this in order to describe the way that people choose between “probabilistic alternatives that involve risk, where possibilities are known.” This means that people tend to make decisions based on the pros and cons rather than the final outcome, and that people weigh these pros and cons using heuristics.
