Psychology?Eh I Dont Need It!

    

Many people all have one common question. Why do we need psychology? It may not be as important as the tress that give us air but it’s pretty close. We know what psychology is right? The study of the human brain our consciousness, our environment, and how we behave or think. But why? Recently in my psychology 101 class Professor Hambrick answered that question. Its two main reasons why we need it.

      One is common sense just isn’t enough. By looking at any situation anyone can infer what might have happened. But only psychology can tell us why and what exactly made a person do what they did. We’ve all seen the criminal justice show Law & Order and they have a psychologist there who they bring in when they get certain cases to tell the mindset of that person. By looking at someone’s body language you can often tell a lot.

      The other reason we need psychology is it overall makes the world a better place to live. You may ask why. When you want to know why or how something is psychology will almost most always be the answer. Once they observe something they question it form a hypothesis, do research and through many experiments get the answer. Like where do psychological disorders come from. Is it nature or nurture? So you see psychology holds the answer to many questions in life. Yes, you do need it!
