Today I discovered that psychology covers a broad range of topics; almost endless, because there is so many aspects of the human nature that need understanding. Our main desire is to understand why we do what we do. Why is it something that causes a thought or an idea, will cause you to have a complete different idea? Is it because of genes or the environment? One thing that helps us understand other people is empathy, because putting yourself in a situation that someone else has experienced. It will cause you to understand what feelings that person might have felt. With the mind and body we try to understand what the connection between thoughts and feelings are, if you and I are in the same type situation, the outcome of our reactions will most likely be completely different.
