In class we have discussed the different perspectives in psychology, both past and
present. We have also discussed some of the pros and cons of the different
perspectives. If you could merge two different perspectives and create one perfect
theory of how our personalities form and why we behave in certain ways, which two
would you select?
For your paper you must have 2 components:
1. You must designate two specific perspectives and describe those perspectives
as you understand them in your own words.
2. Second, how would you merge the two? You need to explain WHY you chose
these two perspectives and how they would fit well together to better explain the
psychology of human behavior.
**There is not a right or wrong type of question, but you need to back up your
opinion. Convince me that your theory is the best one!
Topic #2
Your second topic is an introspective paper about yourself.
You should include:
1. Background on yourself (as much or as little as you feel comfortable
with)
2. Why you have chosen to attend college and what your area of interest
3. What your future goals are.
4. What you hope to get from this class.
