Have you ever
wondered why we do the things we do?
What makes us
different from each other?
What makes us
the same?
I often find myself asking
these questions, but I usually can't come up with an answer. This is why I want
to dedicate the next year to answering questions like these as they come along. Rest
assured, I won't be making up my own answers to all of these complicated
questions. My information will come primarily from psychological studies,
psychology class or English class.
The ideas and opinions that link us together as humans are the
same things that make each individual unique. All parents guide their children
in some way or another, but something drives them to have different parenting
styles. Teachers also have different teaching styles. All marketing agencies
use strategies to attract customers, but each product is advertised
differently. All government candidates want more votes, but they don’t go about
the campaigning process in the same way. I want to know what accounts for these
differences. I want to know why we behave the way we do.
A better understanding of the human race can be found with the
help of research studies and class materials. This journey will also help me
find out more about myself. What better way is there to discover new things
about myself than to first discover new things about the human race?
My name is Molly and I am on a journey to find
out what makes humans tick.
Molly - I'm a huge fan of this blog. I could find a lot of similarities between the two of ours considering mine focuses around motivation and incentives, which has a strong connection to why people do the things they do. I'm interested to see the overlap between why we do what we do and motivation, I think both of our psychology classes should be able to add to the dialogue well. I also really like your use of repetition in the third paragraph, using "all" to introduce various groups that clearly have differences among and between them. Well done!
