Recommended: Peer pressure effect

The dynamics of Psychology affect our everyday life and behaviour,this is what me so interested in the subject. From an early age, I often wondered why we act as we do and what effects us as we grow up. I always had a strong interest as to why people were so different even though genetically, everyone is similar. I have thoroughly enjoyed the subject, especially conformity. It fascinates me as it portrays how strong peer pressure can be and I believe this is the main subject that deals with why we act the way we do. We conform everyday, offering a wide knowledge on behaviour. I am enjoying studying how the body and mind work and why certain things affect certain people. I find it useful on a personal basis as it can be used to explain many …show more content…

Whilst at Light Hall, I helped with projects run by the school. From February 2005 onwards, I was commended for supporting special needs pupils from Hazel Oak School by helping with IT work. I assisted one teacher and one pupil in helping them create various IT projects. This boosted my enthusiasm to be a teacher. From a young age I played netball, playing for 7 years in total in the position of goal keeper. In Year 11, I taught students in years 7-9 how to play to the best of their abilities. However, I had to give up this hobby when starting college due to other commitments and desire to start extra courses. Regardless, I am determined to begin this hobby once …show more content…

In year 11, the 'Student Voice' was introduced where two students from each year, including myself, were selected to speak to the school's board of governors. At college, I joined the student council again. In my first year, I was nominated as a member of my form to be in the student council and I was then asked to attend a 'faculty meeting' every so often with my head of faculty and other students. However, in my second year I am part of a small group of around 10 students in the year who are the 'executive'. My role is Environmental Officer, something I am proud to be representing and passionate about as it is a problem which is being discussed globally and I am happy to do my bit to help. At college and school I participated in Open Evenings. I then proceeded to help on a 'Welcome to College Day,' speaking to students about the benefits of taking Sign Language as part of a Enrichment course and then advertised the student council whilst guiding new

My nine year old self decided that I had to be in ASB, despite the fact that I had three more years before I could even run for a position.

I had lost my purpose. It wasn’t until seventh grade rolled around the corner

Despite being incredibly passionate about psychology, I cannot seem to pinpoint exactly when and where this passion came from. The farthest I can go back is when I was thirteen and deciding that I would study psychology in college. I didn’t know where I would study it, or what I would do afterwards, but I knew that I wanted to learn about behavior and the human mind. Once I got to high school, I became very serious about what I wanted to do, and what would best help me achieve doing it. I joined my school’s Psychology Club, and took any and all helpful classes.

Psychology is defined as the science of behavior and mental processes. The five enduring issues that draw psychologists together are person-situation, nature-nurture, stability-change, diversity-university, and mind-body. Person-situation answers the question: Are we masters of our own fate or victims of circumstances? Person-situation debates bring about recognition of how both the person and the situation determine behavior.

One of the most interesting subjects that depicts many explanations about human behavior is psychology. Every human being tends to have a distinct behavior, depending on the situation that he or she was exposed to. The presence of other human beings cause the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of the person to be controlled or influenced. There is a considerable amount of factors in which the actions of human beings around them are responsible for the process of making their decisions.

Two council members were elected from each class by secret ballot at the start of the academic year. The student council would meet once every two weeks to discuss ideas and suggestions in relation to homework, the yard, the school uniform, after-school clubs etc. The principal would facilitate these meetings and note ideas that the students had. However, the final say rarely lay with students which I felt undermined their positions on the student council.

Being a health and fitness enthusiast I have always been interested in learning about how the mind works physically and emotionally, and in what ways the body reacts to various mental states is very intriguing. That is why I want to explore the mind and the essence of the human condition. We all question or try to make sense of our life; I believe that through its many perspectives, psychology has those answers. Psychology is accessible because not only is it a scientific study of thought and behaviour, it is also an art that can be applied by the individual to everyday life. I also believe we are all psychologists attempting to understand other people and ourselves.

Although I am not majoring in psychology, having an understanding for human behavior and why people do the things they do is something that interests me. This understanding will potentially make it easier to bond with new people, while making it easier to tolerate and work with others. Another goal I hope to achieve in this class is to be able to identify the relevance of psychological principles as they relate to personal health, gender, adjustment, and developmental issues (PSY 102 Course
