Research helps you learn how certain works or how things grow at certain stages of its life. I was reading in one of my text books about how a scientist conducted a five year long research project she wanted to see how girls and boys make moral choices. If there were a difference between the two. It was proven that girls are more sympathetic than boys are. Boys will follow the rules only to the letter. Once something is no longer illegal, boys will do it. Girls follow the rules better and know that they should not do thing even if they are not illegal. Girls will also be sympathy to someone who took something, like food, to feed their family. Boys would not do that. The person took something and they will get punished for it. This is just another point that saws that women are nicer than men. Women also have a better view of the world and how thing work in it. Women can make better decisions than men. This should keep you men chewing at your bits for awhile.

Formal Blog

I thought that Psychology was about what makes you like what you think. It is about the mind and all that lovely stuff. I was right about Psychology but it is a lot deeper. It also has to do with your background, how you were raised, and your genetics. It is all very confusing. There many things, like neuroscience, evolutionary, behavior genetics, psychodynamic, behavioral, cognitive, and social-cultural, that contribute to how you think, dream, and act. These also play a part in what you want to do when you grow up. Psychology was being practiced in ancient times by people like Plato. There are also many different forms of psychology. My mind is going in turns just trying to read about all this stuff. It does hard to keep it all straight.

Just Saying Hi

Hello Everyone.

I just read a blog that was very interesting. It was written by Bethany. She was saying that she is the youngest of her family. I am also the youngest in my family. I only have one older sibling though. I do have to be patient with her. My parents have always treated us differently. She is their baby. She has always gotten away with more things than I have. Whenever my father is mad at her, he takes it out on me. Like if she didn't do some chores that he wanted done and told her to do them. He will yell at me and make me do them. Or if she says something to him and he gets mad, he will yell at me instead. My mom sees it sometimes, but not always. So I do know what it is being the youngest in a family.

Introduction

Hello.

My name is Kaitlin Wimer. I am a student at Flambeau. I'm seventeen. We were asked what Psychology is to us. Well, to me it is something that has to do with how we think and how we act. I have no idea if that is true. Psychology is important in some way. Just don't ask me how. I am drawing a blank. What really shaped me to the person that I am today is how I was raised. I was raised with my sister, who is five years old than me, and my cousins. We did ever things together. We were a lot of trouble for our parents, but we had fun getting into trouble. Well, so long.
