Well, today I talk to you about some country I’d like to visit.
Sincerely is not easy to choose because I would like to visit a lot different countries such as Spain, Mexico, Scotland, Greece and others. So if somebody came to me and offer me a holidays for this summer I think that I’ll say “Greece”. Because I love mythology, art, philosophy and other typical elemental from the Greek Culture. Besides the weather are so cool and its older infrastructure too. Greece is a country with an exciting history, legends, and with an accent very singular. So for my holidays I will choose Greece because this country has an interesting culture for knowing, a good history, and a very good weather and places very pretty.
However, if somebody came to me and offer me study for a time in other country I think I will choose Spain because always I want to visit it and study hear because this country has many good investigations about relationship between Psychology and Sexuality and this one is an area from my career very exciting to me. Besides I have some friend in Spain and one cousin and I always admire the culture diversity in this country.
Today I talk to you about a research study of Psychological Wellbeing Survey Report that includes a lot of indicators that enable to the psychologist understand people’s evaluations of their lives. This study to pretend to take consciousness and show us that not exist necessarily a directed relationship between development and wellbeing, that although economic growth the people has other necessities such as emotional, socials, and spirituals, and because of this the psychologist called to the government to include this essential necessities in the social program to made a lot better quality of live.
This research study includes different indicators such as happiness level, sources of happiness, selfishness, guilty and others. They are includes in four categories called life satisfaction, emotional well-being, spirituality and stress. But now I talk to you specifically about the stress indicator reflected in the stress level in the people and in the sources of stress for the people in their lives.
The principal sources of stress are the financial security, the death and illness and the social relationships (economical factor, security/integrity factor and the social/emotional factor I think). When the human being accumulate 3 strong stressor in one year this cause chronic stress because the level of serotonin dawn drastically in the brain and this more social and emotional factors principally begins a stress episode so dangerous for the people. If we see the stress level graph we can check these ideas because the people feel and perceive stress constantly: a 47% are somewhat stressful and a no minor 12% are very stressful. So a 59% of the people had stress in some grade.
I’m going to talk you about a new that I read today called “Sick psychology of female sex criminals. It is a very interesting new because it explains or to try to explain because the women can commit sex crimes or other sort of savage acts for helping to her lovers. I choose this one because is not common to hear sex crime-woman relationship.
The article shows us different theories or ideas about causes of this psychopathological behavior such as, cultural influence, genetic influence, social influence and the emotional influence. The general idea says that the human being commit crime acts because the guilty and the remorse gets in the way of killing, and when I read this I thought about the Freudian concept called “individual with guilty conscience” in his article “Some characters in the psychoanalysis study”. In the new, the author says that genetic variable is very important in the human behavior, so in these cases of “criminals” the psychologist must pay attention to this factor. The cultural and social influences are easiest to explain because of the “socialization process”.
But the emotional variables are not easy to explain in the woman. In this case, the author says: “…The issue of why women abuse children and other women is such an emotional one that what people often fail to recognize is that there are more differences within the sexes than there are between them. Women can be just as aggressive and cruel as men, given the specific set of circumstances that brings forth that behavior…”
The catalyst to bring these behaviors to the surface, says the author, is the presence of a man who lacks the imagination to empathize with his victims or restrain his desire for power and sexual or violent gratification. So the woman sees herself in a dilemma: to help to procure the victim (humanity decision) or to risk losing her lover (if she doesn’t help him). Because of this, the woman commit crime acts because she think that she must help to her lover for avoiding that her lover ends up more interesting in the victim and not in her. Other theory says criminal men who not recognize to authorities choose to women with low self-esteem or low intelligence so these women so these women are dragged towards the crime. However, the author says today not exist a “universal theory” for explaining to the female criminal behavior.
Since I read for the first time on Jung and his school of psychology, I always have thought of managing to be a psychoanalyst according to the viewpoint of the Analytical Psychology. I like so much this viewpoint than that of the Freudian Psychoanalysis, because I believe this kind of psychoanalysis is very limited to sexual impulses, principally.
Among the principal qualities and skills it is the knowledge, certainly. But is possible, I think, to specify it of the following way:
Qualities: The psychologist of this school must be a patient person when he listen the problems of his patients and he must be a sufficiently empathic person to connect of better form with them. Besides he must be capable of integrating all his knowledge of form to help in an integral form. Skills: An analytical therapist needs to study and to dominate diverse areas of the knowledge, not alone psychology. The Analytical Psychology includes mythology, alchemy, dreams, folklore and others. Then, the analyst must dominate diverse skills and he must know how and when to occupy it.
I believe this field of the psychology is very interesting, and then I want to study it and to be an excellent professional, because I believe that it is a very good way of helping the persons, focusing in them as integral beings. The difficulty of finding a work of this type takes root in that the some people thinks psychoanalysis is not serious field because it sometimes lacking empirical solid bases.
Well. In the beginning I thought that blogging experience was very difficult for me, because it was the first time, but in the course I could to improve in my English. However I do not enjoy it so much because I have English on Thursday all day and sometimes I need study or I need do some jobs. Besides, the blogging class is the second part class, and then sometimes I am not in good spirits to continue in class, although the class blogging is easier and faster. But a thing that I enjoy is when I finish my exercise in the blog and then I can spent my rest time class for watching my facebook, or for doing a jobs, or for reading or for speaking with my friends on MSN Messenger.
The blogging experience helped me to improve my English so much; because of this I can speak English in a more fluent form. Besides I could learnt new words and new techniques concepts connected to my career (Psychology).
Then, the blogging in the English class has advantages but it has disadvantages too. In the advantages we can find that blogging experience improves the English in the students. In my development, for example, I can get better in my English abilities. Other advantage is the web format because I did not have blog, so I must do it a new for my English class and I learnt the “world of the Blogs” and their dynamics. In the disadvantage we can find the time, because my English blog class is immediately after than my theoretical English class, then I spent much time that day in the university and I waste time for studying for my exams. Other disadvantage is when the computer system has a low connection to internet, and then is more difficult to post the exercise on Blog Web.
In the video, Ken Robinson speaks to us on the value of the creativity in the children, considering it to be a very important tool in the education of the children. But he says that the schools and the educational system in everywhere do not develop this type of tool because it considers them to be low and they worry about promoting the “formal intelligence". Then, he says that that the educational system of now worries much more of the traditional tools for mathematics and language, for example. And this form of education does not allow developing other tools, such as creativity, and this don’t allow developing “artistic tools” in the children.
Ken argues that the being human has a complex brain and it is dividing in two parts: Artistic and Rational, but the schools only develops in the children the last one part and this is wrong, says Ken. Because the creativity is a very important for an integral development of the intelligence and the education.
In my first year at the university my favourite subject is psychology. I have this subject twice a week and the teacher than teach me is called Juan Enrique Wilson. I like so much this subject because is the subject more important in my first term and it is directly connected with my career. Besides this subject contain many different and interesting contents about basic psychological topics.
Then, psychologist subject is very important, because it provide me the basic and elemental tools, knowledge and abilities for being a good psychologist.
In psychology I have learnt many different issues. First and for introducing in the area, you can learn about the different psychology areas (Clinical, Educational, Social…). Later there are other topics such as study of memory, motivation, cognitive development, etc.
A very important thing that the teacher taught us in the class is that Psychology is a transversal discipline, then we have study other areas too and this way we can see the problems in a integral form. For remembering this, the teacher says us: “Look the forest not the tree”.
