• Posted Psychology in 5 years to Psychology 1001 Sections 10-11 Spring 2012
  5 years from now the only things I'll probably remember are the major concepts from the class. I'll remember classical conditioning, since that's been drilled into our minds forever. From Pavlov's classically conditioned dog to Sigmund Freud interpretation of dreams,...
• Posted The Definition of Beauty to Psychology 1001 Sections 10-11 Spring 2012
  Every culture has a definition of beauty. Some countries (including Mexico, India and the Philippines) where "natives have a naturally darker complexion, skin whitening products litter convenience store shelves; while in countries where natives have a naturally fair complexion have...
• Commented on Who is in Control?
  This blog was quite interesting since it raised a lot of questions I've never thought about. I don't know much about how much our mind is controlling our behavior, but I do know that things that we absorb unconsciously sometimes...
• Commented on Out-of-Body Experiences and The Ghost Behind You
  This blog post was very interesting as it made me think of the times I got a creepy feeling of someone being behind me or following me. I usually get these ideas when I have nothing to do and think...

• Commented on DREAMS: THE SECRET LIFE
  This post is very interesting! I've had a reoccurring since I moved to the US and I've wanted to find out what it meant for a long time. I think this will be one of the most interesting topics in...
• Commented on Two Twins Different Families
  This study is very interesting because I know twins that are complete opposites even though they were raised together. This study seemed to be a little unethical since these twins were raised apart. Hopefully, it was for some other major...
• Commented on Like Father Like Son...Kinda?
  I think that human behavior is a combination of both nature and nurture. Like you said, it's astonishing that some scientists believe that 100% of our behavior is due to genes. If it is, what about emotions? Doesn't our environment...

  Chapter eight is about language, thinking and reasoning. This chapter talks about the small features that make up a language and how dialects are formed. This chapter also talks about how language came about and how it has evolved...
