Butterfly

Yesterday a butterfly
came floating gently through the sky.
He soared up through the atmosphere
then drifted close enough to hear.

I said, “I’d love to fly with you
and sail around the way you do.
It looks like it would be such fun
to fly up toward the summer sun.

But I have not your graceful charm.
I haven’t wings, just these two arms.
I’ve been designed to walk around.
My human feet must touch the ground.

Then magically he spoke to me
and told me what his wish would be.

He said, “What I’d love most to do
Is walk upon God’s Earth with you,
To squish it’s mud between my toes
Or touch my finger to my nose.

I’d love just once to walk around
With human feet to touch the ground,
But I have not two legs that swing,
I haven’t arms, just these two wings.”

And so we went our separate ways
In wonder and surprise.
For we’d both seen God’s precious gifts
through someone else’s eyes.

Defination of Psychology

Before you all can start of reading this article, I would like to inform that this article is just a journal that I have made out of many articles’ I had read before. In other word it’s my observation.

What is Psychology?

The meaning of psychology
The word psychology is formally defined as:
“The science that studies the behavior of humans.”

If you break this definition, we can obtain a better understanding of what it means exactly.

Psychology is a science because its conclusions are based on information that was obtained through planned, controlled and repeatable experiments.

It is important that these experiments are repeatable, so any information obtained from the experiments can be considered reliable and not a one off or random events.

Controlled experiments are necessary for certain variables can be tested, without being contaminated by other factors that could produce inaccurate or misleading.

Behavior

Behavior consists of three aspects.

Cognitive processes: This includes what and how a person thinks.

Emotional states: This includes what a person feels, and what makes them feel that way.

Actions: This includes what a person does, and what causes them to do something in a particular way.

If we put all these together, we can see that psychology studies how people think, feel and act.

Agency

An agency is defined as a way of life, in other words, any creature.

Psychology, therefore, is the study of living beings, which includes both people and animals.

The meaning of psychology

From the definition of “psychology is the science that studies the behavior of organisms, we can see that psychology is the study of everything that surrounds us and how things interact with each other.

This is why I consider psychology a very important issue because it directly affects all aspects of our lives.

By studying psychology, which are essentially the study of ourselves and the world we live In turn, this will allow us to gain a better understanding of ourselves and others.

Meaning of the old psychology

It is not surprising that people are interested in psychology since antiquity, when philosophers who were interested in what makes us human devised the term “psyche” theology in the sense of a “study of the soul” ( “Psyche” the soul).

This direction was given by ancient philosophers like Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, who lived from 400-300 BC

But unlike the current definition of psychology, these philosophers thinking of psychology as the study of people, because I do not think animals souls.

The reason I wanted to study the soul, it was because they thought we were soul consciousness and awareness through this experience that we call life.

Note: “BC” means “Before Christ” and the schedule for BC Countdown to the year of birth of Jesus Christ.

Therefore, 400 B.C has more than 300 B.C. Today is written the dates of the future (eg 2005-2009), because we continue forward in the future.

The science of mental life

A more modern definition of psychology was given by the American psychologist William James, who defined it as “the science of mental life.”

James thought of psychology as the study of how we think, remember and interpret the world and this attempt to investigate from a scientific perspective.

Although it may no longer use the old definition of psychology that are still relevant today, as all describe the study of human behavior and thinking (cognition).

Goals of Psychology
The psychology of today has four main objectives: to describe, explain, predict and control behavior.

1 – Describe

The first objective is to describe how someone behaves.

For example, Aziz seems unable to fully concentrate on his work.

In describing the behavior, we can focus our attention on it and move on to the second goal.

2 – Explain

Now that we have described the behavior, we can try to explain the possible reasons why it occurred.

For example, Aziz seems unable to concentrate at work because he sees too much TV.

By thinking of possible reasons why someone may behave in a particular way, we can try to change this behavior by modifying the factors that we believe is causing it.

3 – Predict

If our explanation of why Aziz is unable to concentrate at work is because he sees too much TV, we can go to our third goal of predicting the behavior of how Aziz is going to change if he reduces the amount of TV he watches.

For example, I think if you stop watching TV Aziz you will be able to concentrate better because they suspect a link between the number of hours that someone watches TV, and his ability to concentrate.

4 – Control of Behavior

Now that we have described how the behavior and predict the behavior could be changed, then we can try to control this behavior by changing the variables previously identified.

For example, take Aziz’s television, which spends more time at work instead of watching TV all day.

If we find that removing Aziz’s TV results in no change in their behavior, then we can conclude that our prediction of negative affect television Juan ability to concentrate is incorrect.

At this stage, then we can go back to steps 2 and 3 and a new explanation for the behavior of Aziz, and then make a new prediction as to how the behavior can be controlled.

For example, Aziz eats too much junk food, which is affecting his ability to think.

Although I use a variable in this example, it is possible that Aziz’s behavior is affected by many factors, such as television and junk food, which are badly affecting their ability to think.

In real life, you will often find that there are many possible explanations for the behavior of someone, and therefore this should be considered as doing things rarely occur in isolation (unless it takes out under controlled laboratory conditions).

The problem occurs when dealing with multiple variables is that there is more margin for error, and accurate predictions are more difficult to do.

This is due to two things that sometimes can have a cumulative effect, so their resultant effect on the whole is greater than they themselves.

eg, 1 and 1 are two numbers, but put them together and you have just over 2.

Abstract

Psychology studies the behavior of agencies, including the way of thinking, feeling and acting.

Psychology has its roots in philosophy, where ancient philosophers described it as the study of the soul.

The four main objectives of psychology to describe, explain, predict and control behavior.

Creative Thinking

Convergent & Divergent Creative Thinking

Creative thinking is the ability to come up with new ideas, or new ways in which something can be done. The primary process by which this occurs is known as divergent thinking.

Divergent Thinking

Divergent thinking results in the formation of many creative ideas when trying to solve a problem, and there are two main ways in which this can occur; breaking mental sets & combining similar things.

Breaking Mental Sets

The process of divergent thinking often involves breaking a mental set in order to find a solution. A good example of this can be found with the Wright brothers.

In order for them to create a flying airplane, they had to break the mental set that in order to fly you needed wings which flap like a bird.

After this mental set was broken, they were then able to explore new ideas and alternative ways to fly.

Combining Familiar Things

Divergent thinking can also involve combining familiar things into new combinations.

For example, Dumbo the elephant is a mixture of an elephant and the wings of a bird. The result of this creative thought process is a flying elephant.

Convergent Thinking

Whereas divergent thinking results in the formation of many new possible solutions to a problem, convergent thinking generally results in a single solution to a problem.

For example, if you are given a multiple choice question, then you would have to use convergent thinking because you are trying to find the correct answer to that question.

If however you were given a question which asked for new ways in which something could be improved, then you would use divergent thinking because you are required to provide more than one answer to something where there is no predefined “correct” answer.

Convergent thinking is therefore characterised by thought that uses both inductive (what you observe) and deductive (what the evidence leads you to believe) logic.

Productive Thinking

Some psychologists such as Max Wertheimer, believed that the best type of creative thought came from using both divergent and convergent thinking. A type of thought he called “productive thinking”.

Wertheimer came to this conclusion after thinking about how Albert Einstein came up with the Theory Of Relativity.

In order for Einstein to come up with this theory, he first used divergent thinking to create ideas which were not known or accepted by physics at the time.

Einstein then employed convergent thinking in order to back up his ideas with theory that would be accepted by his peers.

Quality Of Creative Thought

The quality of creative thinking can by judged by three criteria:

1 – Productivity

This refers to the amount of work a person produces. The more work they produce, the more productive they are.

2 – Originality

Originality is how different something is compared to the things around it. The more different, or novel, it is, the more originality is possesses.

3 – Flexibility

Flexibility refers to the ability to modify your beliefs based on new information.

An inflexible person forms an idea in their mind, and will not change it despite evidence to the contrary.

Creative Thought

Combining all three criteria, we can see that high quality creative thought is a result of hard work, original ideas and a willingness to modify those ideas if needed.

Summary

• Creativity involves thinking up new ideas and new ways in which things can be done.

• Divergent thinking results in many new ideas, and usually involves breaking a mental set and/or combining familiar things.

• Convergent thinking usually gives you one answer to a problem, and is what intelligence tests test for.

• Albert Einstein showed how divergent and convergent thinking can be used together.

• Quality of creative thought is measured by productivity, originality and flexibility.

Consuming ordinary drinking water by the right method purifies human body. It renders the colon more effective by forming new fresh blood, known in medical terms as ” Haematopaises”. That the mucous folds of the colon and intestines are activated by this method is an undisputed fact, just as the theory that the mucous fold produces new fresh blood.

If the colon is cleansed then the nutrients of the food taken several times a day will be absorbed and by the action of the mucous folds they are turned into fresh blood. The blood is all-important in curing ailments and restoring health and for this water should be consumed in a regular pattern.
