MY PSHYCHOLOGY CLASS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my professor is hilarious. she is 5'0, fiesty, and is the definition of the South. shes also the human sexuality professor so we talk about sex alot too (one of my favorite subjects...no shit).
last class we had our first exam, so i wanted to reflect on what i have learned and what was poignant to me these last few classes.
one is the paradox of prosses:
so what is this paradox?? it on how we as a society have reacted to adjusting to modern life. for one, we enjoy this rush of technological revolution thus enjoy much more liesure time & choices. however, THIS DOES NOT MAKE US HAPPIER and our precieved qualilty of life has seemed to have gotten worse. mostly because our traditional sources of emotional security have been lost. family, community, and spirituality have weakened greatly. our mental demands of modern life have become much too complex and we have become excessively materialistic. we are on the constant search for fulfillment and the meaning of life.
the human mind is amazing!! we are the only animals on earth who are unique in the ways that excercise free will, personal growth, and we are rational beings driven by our consiousness.
humans are unique & aware of our own mortality, and this causes great anxiety which can be reduced by our world views and culture. constraints like family, school, and religion give us the sense of order, along with self esteem that serves as buffers from fear of death. so do things that boost your self esteem, folks.
we are amazing organisms, are we not??
