Psychology

Psychology is a half year course offered to seniors at seymour highschool. It is the study of how you act and how you think. Students who take this course will learn alot of information, including all the **//parts of the brain//** and their functions as well. Also you will learn a number of differnt types of Psychology. Currently I have studied //**Behavioral Psychology.**// Which is all about rewards and punishments. students learn that a type of psychology and a common way of learning is by the consequences you get from a certain behavior. There are other types of Psychology as well. One of the more interesting branches of Psychology is **//Psychoanalytic Psychology//**. This branch is probably the most interesting to learn about. The theories behind it are that the human mind is based on three things, sex fear and aggression. One of the most famouse psychologist studied this branch of psychology, Sigmund Freund. Also, there is **//Humanistic Psychology//**, which is basically based on your morals, principles, potential and self-esteem. Another branch of Psychology is **//Cognitive Psychology//**. The views of being cognitive is that the past and the future arent important they have no significance whats only impotant is the present. If you beleive that the way you act and the way you think is because of society and everything in society causes you to do all your actions, you would be studying **//Sociocultual Psychology//**. The last branch of Psychology is **//Biological Psychology//**. Your behaviors are cause by your genetics and your brain chemicals.
