Diving Into The Human Psyche

The inner workings of the mind, have always fascinated me: What is it that drives a person to act or react in a certain way? Why are we all so similar physically and physiologically, but yet our personalities

In Genesis one and two, it provides a full understanding of God’s creations and wisdom of human nature because it is free from evil. Human nature is revealed from Genesis one with God creating the Earth and the Heavens and creating the man of his likeness. The Bible explains how God created Adam, from dust and was placed in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:7). The Bible explains humanity was created to work and serve (Genesis 2:15). Subsequently, Eve was created; “God had created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him: male and female he created them” (Genesis 1:27). Adam and Eve would help God because He wanted them to multiply the Earth by taking care of all of his creation (Hiles & Smith, 2014). God is the sovereign ruler, he created humanity as how he should have wanted. The Bible explains about human nature that God created everything to be distinct from animals and all of His creation. God created us in his own image, which is why we all look different; we are unique in His eyes. Also, God created us to be good because we are born innocent of all evil and loving of God. In addition, we were all born pure as Adam and Eve were. The Bible explains that God was pleased with his creations, “God saw that it was good” (Genesis 1:10-21).

Human nature by essence has been the cause of many entrepreneurial paths, all follow to known the essence itself behind of what we conceive as life. Moreover it’s righteous description and abstract content, that many great man has humbly studied and that for centuries have made a path closely enough to the understanding of it, yet far from the light, it seems to be and unsolvable question that gives us a “Raison d'être” to our existence in this world.

To analyze the human mind is a treacherous endeavor, as we are cognitively complex creatures with minds entirely unique from one another. To even begin to understand the way humans behave is a marvelous feat; understanding the human mind is certainly not as simple as taking one psychology class; even earning a respectable degree in behavioral psychology or cognitive neuroscience does not constitute that one truly understands the human mind. Can the general human mind even be understood on a basic level? After all, we are a diverse species with unlimited potential. One of the most spectacularly enigmatic human qualities is our ability to produce unique thoughts and insights, making analysis of the human brain on a cognitive and

Many researchers have tested the theory that humans are naturally war-loving. A fair viewpoint, from the article “Evolutionary Life”, is that “human nature is not one thing, neither 'good' nor 'bad' overall. People in general have been genetically endowed by evolution with a wide variety of tendencies and capacities that respond to -- but are not necessarily controlled or determined by -- their environment" (Atlee). With this, it’s fair to draw a line between how humans were “made” to act and how they act today. In the earliest stages of human life through the present, humans have fought, hunted, and killed their way through life. Today’s difference to the past is not much different besides the means we use to go about the deeds. Businessmen, politicians, and numerous other professions utilize harmful tactics in order to get what they desire. For example, a politician exposes the underlying “evils” of another candidate in order to gain votes, much like how the infamous Salem Witch Trials were pursued in the late seventeenth century when others cried witch in order to avoid being tortured and killed themselves. While one may argue that cavemen were, in some aspects, biologically different than we are today and that they were not exposed to as much as we are, one cannot argue that we are not still instinctively caveman-like. We hunt and gather food; we create new and improved ways of killing enemies or food source; and when we don’t like how or what someone else is

This article describes how complex and intricate the brain is. Brains determine what we think, how we act, and the things we say. Donald discusses the importance of the brain and the information it holds. The brain produces on average 70,000 thoughts a day with a total of around 100 billion neurons. Scientists have been studying “‘which regions of the brain are working, how much, and for how long, during particular tasks.’” (Francis X. Shen & Owen D. Jones, Brain Scans as Evidence: Truths, Proofs, Lies, and Lessons, 62 MERCER L. REV. 861, 865 (2011).) The brain is what makes you,

In the history of psychology, there are several problems that have persisted throughout the years. One major issue is the mind body relationship. This topic has been examined for numerous times and several viewpoints have been taken from like philosophers from the western world, who focused on two views of the problem mostly, and later other views and subtypes emerged. The Mind-Body theme attempts to identify the relationship between the mind and body, in other words, between the mental realms like thoughts and emotions and physical realms like neurons. Although there is evidence for all the viewpoints, the problem continues and remains unresolvable.

The American Psychologist Association (APA) defines psychology as ‘the study of the mind and behaviour . The discipline embraces all aspects of the human experience — from the functions of the brain to the actions of nations, from child development to care for the aged. ‘(Association, 2014). With such an extensive definition, it is not overly surprising that its scientific kudos has been used to propagate political dogma, including abominable beliefs such as the innate inferiority of black people (Howitt and Owusu-Bempah, 1994) and to facilitate the legalislation of racist laws such as the American Jim Crow laws that placed severe restrictions on the rights and privileges of African Americans in 1877 (Brown and Stentiford,

Chapter 4 illustrated how mental disorders is viewed in this society; however, I grow up some of my youth in a society where mental illness is view as a witchcraft instead of a sickness. Ever since I can remembered, my late mother was an alcoholic. Growing up as a child whenever she decided to stop drinking, we have to take her to church or give her Valium to sleep because she will be hearing voices telling her to do things. As a young girl, I was always going to church with her; however, when we came to the United States it got worse. Whenever she decided to stop drinking, I will be the one to go buy her alcohol because we would not sleep at night if she does not drink. When I took abnormal psychology that is when I learned that my late mother

As I am embracing the end of the semester in my Psychology class I have learned to acknowledge psychological concepts that we might face on a daily basis in our everyday lives. Nevermore over the course of my class did I expect to relate some psychological concepts like the “Nature vs Nurture” concept, stress, anxiety and motivation on to my yen for climbing.

The mind and body problem is a conundrum that argues the explanation of how mental

It is incredible on how one piece of art could rebel so much by just looking at it. Art is beautiful in all the figures and ways possible. Art could be anything that comes into your mind, a drawing, a painting, a photograph, and etc. Art isn’t defined by setting rules of what you could do. For example, I could draw a soccer ball and make it in a way that nobody has seen it before; it would be a piece of art. That’s the best part of it; you’re not limited to what you could create. It is also a way that you could relief your stress and your thoughts. Sometimes we are afraid to rebel who we truly are. The generation we live in today makes us think that everything we do is not good enough. Everyone will judge you no matter what. You could become

Individuals belong in a lot of different groups and settings in their lives and their ability to function well within these settings it is important for their wellbeing but also for the growth of the organisation itself. As potential therapists who are going to work with people within organisations it is important to understand the unconscious meanings behind individuals’ behaviours and the mechanisms that individuals and organisations use to deal with their anxieties.

In Philosophy, the soul is an essential aspect of being a human being. Not only is it an defining essence of human beings but also animals, plants, and all living things. The soul, also referred to as the psyche, has been the topic of philosophical, scientific, and religious inquiries for thousands of years. Through their texts, three influential philosophers, Plato, Aristotle, and Augustine, shared their views on the soul and what they perceive it to be. Throughout this examination of their findings, the reader will better understand what the soul is, in respect to these philosophers perspectives.

With each choice you take, each judgment you make, there is a conflict in your psyche; a fight amongst instinct and rationale. Moreover, the instinctive piece of your brain is significantly more intense than you may might suspect. The vast majority of us get a kick out of the chance to believe that we are equipped for settling on sound choices. We may on occasion depend on our gut nature, however in the event that essential we can approach our forces of motivation to touch base at a consistent choice. Usually, we surmise that we have purposes behind what we trust, that is frequently a misstep.
