by: ashley Lofthouse __** One of the things that I like to learn about is the human brain; what makes it work the way it does, the different reactions it has to different people and why it is different people handle social situations in such different ways. It has always fascinated me that something as small as it is can do so much. All the information it holds is amazing. Learning more about the brain could teach you a lot about people; maybe even understand them a little better. I like to read psychology books, watching different shows about the brain, and listen why other people think it works the way it does. I narrow down the questions that I want to know about and set out to find the information, which is challenging at times but it teaches me a lot more. I use the computer, books, and even some T.V. shows to help me find my answers. Some of the activities I participate in to learn and shape my knowledge of the human brain is interacting with other people and observing some of their reactions. Another activity that I partake in is using a phrase with different kinds of people and getting the different answers and reactions from them. The human brain is a very complex part of our bodies and they do so much. I don’t believe anyone would ever have all the answers but I would like to learn as much as I can about it.
