Psychology 110

My psychology class finally started this past Tuesday. I felt bad that I did not get a chance to read chapter one before the first class, and my teacher kind of rubbed it into the class. I know he was not trying to make us feel bad, so I did not take it personally.
After that day, I made it a point to read the whole thing. It was very interesting. One of the things that stuck out to me was the kind of attitude that pyschologist need to have. They need to be critical thinks that are earger and curious, but they also really need to scrutinize everything they see. At the same time, however, they also need to be open minded about what they are learning. This all makes sense, because psychology is the "science of behavior and mental processes".
The one thing I love about psychology is that you get to study yourself. Granted, there are may fields of psychology that do not focus on human behavior and mental processe, but the ones that do, I find to be very interesting. The one thing that gets me, is that we are made in the image of God, therefore, we are very complex in charater. I do not believe that any person can be put in a box. God alone knows who we truly are. Because of this, I see the importance of having this kind of mindset when studying psychology.
