  What's "right" and "wrong" to do when you are in the midst of a totally different culture can be the most frustrating thing in the world to experience. But at the same time, it is what makes humans unique, that...
• Commented on OCD: The Face of Psychological Disorders?
  I hadn't thought too much about how the media has portrayed psychological disorders until reading this post. And you're right, many of these disorders are used in movies and television series as a comical factor, but the truth is that...
• Commented on "Dancing in the Dark"
  I do agree that sleepwalking in adults is very dangerous, especially because they have more of the strength to inflict harm upon others. But I think it can be just as dangerous in children because they are more likely to...
• Commented on Street Art
  Wow! It is incredible how our naked eye can perceive certain images. I have never seen such realistic 3d street art before. Yet again, I wonder if I actually indeed HAVE, but it just looked so realistic, I didn't know...
• Commented on Animal Talk
  I remember hearing about such a bird a while back, but it was not until now that I realize how magnificent Alex was. Although there are many who are skeptical about the particular bird's abilities, I think that he had...
• Commented on To steal or not to steal
  Just as the previous comments indicate, this is a very hard subject to indicate what is right and what is wrong. But perhaps there IS no right or wrong, because from any perspective, it can be PROVEN as right and/or...
• Commented on I Want It To Be For Love . . . It Is My First Time.
  First of all, your title was what first pulled me in. Then after watching the video all I could think of was, "wow, how clever!" Just as the above comments say, Putin has my vote! It was great that you...

  This was an amazing post because it really got me thinking about some of the false memories that I have perhaps made in my life. It also got me thinking about how perhaps our memories are shaped by what we...
• Commented on Prematurity
  I believe that stories of premature baby survivals are the absolute most amazing because they carry the message that miracles can and do happen. These events can truly test a family's will and faith, bringing people closer than ever. But...
• Commented on Who has the best parents!
  After reading one of the comments above on parenting having to do with a family's economic and racial background, I actually totally understand and agree with that statement. My parents and grandparents came from a 3rd world country and their...
• Commented on Intelligence > Media
  Our media has always been quite good at bending the truth to make a good story, and perhaps that's why people are so consumed in it, because they can experience things that would never happen in real life. I totally...
• Commented on Is Being Gay A Choice?
  That was a really interesting and informative video that I think does a great job at explaining that being gay is not necessarily a choice. I guess that I have never thought of the claims of sexual orientation as a...
• Commented on The Hunger Games
  I totally agree with your end verdict about how this type of situation should be handled. It is just such a controversial topic because in general, we should not be promoting violence at all to our future generations... period. But...
• Commented on Does Birth Order Matter?
  Great post! I can see how you have generated a lot of thoughts and ideas within many individuals such as myself. I still don't know how to perceive all the research that has been done on birth order, but that...
• Commented on You-Know-Who
  Great assessment on the personality traits of "you know who". It made me realize all the background character work an author has to do on their fictional cast to deliver captivating stories such as Harry Potter. Sometimes I think that...

• Commented on Remembering to Remember
  I definitely found the memory section to be very helpful in giving me insight into my own habits when studying. All you say is true about making something short term into long term. Just like you, I did not realize...
• Commented on Memory Aids
  This post rings so true! Especially because I am pretty sure that everyone has used mnemonics SOME time in their life. For a majority, it is the only way they are able to remember and learn. I never thought that...
• Commented on What's Wrong With Red Ink?
  Although I have never heard of the red ink pen offense before, I at the same time can believe that there are such extreme theories that are set in place in various cultures around the world. Even here in America...

• Posted Snow Globed World to PSY 1001 Section 02-03 Spring 2012
  "Naïve realism: the belief that we see the world precisely as it is." Upon taking Psychology this semester, I have learned so many fascinating things about the human mind and how we interact with each other. But Naïve realism,...
• Posted I'm a Bilingual... She's a Trilingual.... He's a Polyglot! to PSY 1001 Section 02-03 Spring 2012
  Growing up, I never gave much thought to the fact that I knew how to fluently speak two languages. I was really quite convinced that it was totally normal and even expected for kids my age to know how to...
• Commented on The Placebo Effect
  The placebo effect is indeed a very interesting observation. I can see where there can be both positive and negative effects. Negative because in experimental models, this can possibly skew results in a drugs ability to really be able to...
• Commented on Exercise? How Much?

• Commented on No wonder why Dogs have such great hearing
  I never knew that the size of a dogs ear had no correlation to its ability to hear any better or worse than of other dogs! I have a chihuahua and he is also about 7 pounds, but with HUGE...
• Posted Bigfoot, UFOS, Ghosts, and God? to PSY 1001 Section 02-03 Spring 2012
  It was a typical Saturday morning, as I was channeling through all the TV specials and ads. I then came upon a commercial for the new show, "Finding Bigfoot" on Animal Planet. The duration of that minute preview left me...
• Posted Hypnosis: Treatment or Entertainment? to PSY 1001 Section 02-03 Spring 2012
  It's very typical for anyone to think of the, "watch in hand, swinging back-and-forth" when the subject of hypnosis is brought up. These are the images that are usually linked to this method of psychological state of mind that we...
