Question

There are 10 questions from our psychology discussions and we need to answer to 7 of them (1-2 paragraphs for each) Total word count -1200-1400 Just 1-2 paragraphs with our opinion. No citations or anything 1.Do you think animals should be used in psychological experimentation/research? 2.Do you think humans should be used in psychological experimentation/research? In some states, due to limited resources, psychologists (non medical PhD/Doctor) is allowed to prescribe medications, after intensive coursework and oversight. Do you agree that this is should be allowed? Why or why not? 3.What is the difference between fact and opinion? Why do we need to know the difference? What impact can not knowing the difference have on people? 4.Is conformity a good thing? What did you learn about Kitty Genovese? Did this surprise you? What does this mean to society? How can we change in light of this information? 7.What did you learn about Stanley Milgram's obedience study? Did his results surprise you? What does this mean to society? How can we change in light of this information? 8. What did you learn in our chapter about memory, as it relates to studying? Did you follow the study plan you laid out in that chapter's discussion work? Has it helped? 9.For those who continued to meditate AFTER the 3 days was over, have you noticed even more of a difference? What has changed for you? - 10.In the discussion responses for the development chapeter - I asked if you think the driving/drinking and voting ages should be altered. Many of you stated that teens are not mature enough to make these decisions, that the brain is still growing. Many said these decisions impact the lives of teens and they should have a say. I challenge some of these thoughts with this statement Perhaps teens brains continue to develop through adolescence BECAUSE they are making these choices. Perhaps the consequences of their actions are what CAUSES responsibility to grow and judgement to develop. I propose that this is an inter-related process and that we cannot have one without the other. My questions for the bonus points are this: If we removed the opportunities for learning and growth, would those teens grow into adults who were able to make better choices? Would this help or hurt society? Is there a middle ground, or another way where we can help our teens to grow and protect them and society at the same time, until they are ready to take on the challenges of adulthood? Look into the concept of "emerging adulthood" for some insight :)
