Week 1 Blog Post 2

As I was doing my discussion this week I went ahead and looked at the next chapter to see what we were going to be learning about. Not to my surprise it was the main theories of psychology with the famous psychologist such as Freud, Skinner, etc. Having taking two other psych classes before this I know a lot about these guys. However I always seem to come across new information or learn new things about them each time they are repeated in a course.  I feel like this is also how psychology works. In a normal everyday math class 2 + 2 is always 4 however in psychology things are always changing. New information about the brain is discovered every day because it is so complex. Every year I take a new class things are added to these theories or I am learning new information about these theorists. It’s so amazing that in a year a whole new world can basically be opened up psychology wise and I’m learning so many different things in my next course about it that’s totally different from my previous ones. That’s why psychology is so interesting to me and even though I’m not a psychology major I still choose to take psych courses as my gen. eds. rather than other courses. I’m not getting taught that the same things every year and falling asleep at the thought of opening up a history book to learn about the revolutionary war for the billionth time. Psychology gets me excited and I can’t wait to get started and dive into new information this year.
