Monday Matters #29



All the articles I covered had to do with Psychology. One common theme is gender equality. Whether it is at school with certain genders performing better at certain classes than the other, or in the work place arguing for equal pay for equal work, how the genders are treated and taught is something that Psychologists are trying to dissect. Is it a subconscious way of thinking? Or can expectations be changed? This is a primary issue with this community. Another issue Psychology likes to evaluate are mental disorders and how they affect peoples' lives. A good example of this is my post on Kurt Cobain's death 20 years ago. They evaluated his mental state and how that lead to killing himself. I would be very interested in exploring how people think and why they act the way they do. I would use this to try to help people and prevent them from making the wrong decisions in their lives. I would be interested in majoring in Psychology in college, specifically working for the police to try to evaluate criminals and certain investigations. I feel like I am a very good judge of character, and can read people very well. This field of study would suit me nicely, and eventually I would hope to make a successful career of this.
