Videos for week two - curiosity

By On

 In the assigned video of "Why Isn't Learning Enjoyable Anymore - How to revive your curiosity?" by R.C Waldun he discusses learning, schools, and the path of careers and how they've changed throughout the years. Education has grown into a world of reaching certain academic levels and validation instead of what it used to be under the lines of brave and curious individuals. Something in the video that really clicked with me is the saying of needing to "navigate through the obstacles that we have" in order to "regain the curiosity-and passion for learning" under the pretense he is saying that the typical format of school isn't something to ignore entirely, but instead use it to realize what else is missing. I strongly consider myself a curious person as I always have questions under the terms of why and how and would have an itch to not leave those questions unanswered. Even now I'm strongly curious as college every day fills a curiosity I didn't even know I had as I leave lectures feeling fulfilled with the information I can share and apply to different areas of life. I think what makes someone curious and another not is the need to know in a sense. Some people are completely fine with being in the unknown as ignorance is indeed bliss, but for others, I need answers as it leads to different questions that lead to even more answers that lead to historical wonders and improvements. To cultivate more curiosity in my life I usually try to read more books that are out of my comfort zone as it brings information that I have no bias toward and no pressure to feel to get it right. I really enjoy being curious as I wouldn't b in my college career without it and am excited to see where else it takes me.

Group one film and readings - anxiety

By On
This week was the beginning of groups introducing their readings and the film that we will watch as a class, leading to great discussions.  On Tuesday, we began with group one readings and a film that consisted of the topic of anxiety. The film we watched was a documentary by Nadiya Hussain titled "Anxiety and Me" which follows Nadiya throughout her day-to-day life and how she struggles with high functioning anxiety that disrupts most parts of her life. Nadiya's anxiety would be so bad that she would have multiple anxieties and panic attacks with the innate ability to know how to treat them due to their consistency. To not have to deal with her racing mind anymore and be able to make sure that her children don't go through what she does she finds her way to a psychologist. I personally have struggled with anxiety my entire life, but only recently have I felt the urge to consider possibly getting help. I rarely experienced anxiety and panic attacks at the rate that Nad...

Group two - week 3 : Psychology of Criminality

By On
 "Evil is a religious concept, it's not a science concept" Forensic Psychiatrist Dorothy Lewis, M.D... The quote stated is one of my many favorites worded by Dorothy Lewis in the documentary Crazy, "Not Insane" which brings a new perspective on how people initially view serial killers. As a psychology major, I have always been interested in the world of what makes people necessarily tick and what triggers people to complete an immoral act, and others not so much. Dr. Lewis even states at the beginning of the documentary that she has had similar thoughts as she has wondered when reaching a point of anger why some people kill and others don't. What is separating the two from feeling the emotion and acting on it? After a while of watching the documentary there begins to be a noticeable pattern of how such distinct serial killers came to be. At first, it was theorized that people were sometimes just crazy until the continuous research into one's family histo...
