Since the dawn of our human civilization, people have been trying to find the most effective way of building their behavior.

As a result, the behavior of the community, formed by the patterns of personalities, has become an extremely complex system of reasons and consequence. Hannah Arendt addresses the topic of the human being’s behavior in the context of the political history. The Human Condition is her ...

Abstract

Some theories focus on explaining developmental changes that happen to humans. The Social Cognitive Theory represents one of the many theories of psychology that explain human behavior. The theory was introduced by Miller and Dollard in 1941 and later advanced by Bandura and Walters in 1963. The main concepts of the theory are personal, behavioral, and environmental factors. Other concepts including self-control and efficacy, observational learning, and many others help in understanding the interaction between the environment, person, and behavior. On the other hand, the theory operates on five assumptions that relate the theory to learning, language self-control, and ...

Introduction

Proper presentation of data collected during a study is imperative to the credibility of a research. In fact, lack thereof compromises the interpretation embraced by the people relying on such information due to the possibilities of miscommunication in the presentation process. As such, researchers ought to follow a compelling approach whilst communicating the results of their study regardless of the research design followed. With this in mind, it is worth acknowledging the fact that there are multiple research approaches followed in the delivery of psychological research information. According to the Emergency Medicine Journal, the popular research designs include observational ...

It is true that we call ourselves humans because our elders call themselves humans. If our elders have called themselves gorilla, then we would have called ourselves gorilla. While our ancestors lived in caves and hunted for food, we live in modern houses and eat processed food. There has been a dramatic change in the way we think and live. Except for some similar forms, human body and mind have undergone dramatic change, over the time. Modern man has inherited a number of changes that ancient human beings have undergone over the ages. Evolutional anthropological knowledge can be used ...

The rational choice theory states that any behavior that a human has is as a matter of choice (Siegel & Welsh, 2014). In fact, anybody has an option to choose the kind of behavior he or she would like, depending on the needs they have. Therefore, criminal behavior is also a choice that one makes consciously. A person chooses to go against the law after careful consideration of the potential benefits that they would get out of it. One will avoid breaking the law if the potential benefits are outweighed by the dangers associated.

Does the Theory of the Tripartite Soul Give Us Good Reason to be Just?

Introduction The well-known philosopher of Ancient Greece, Plato, presented the theory of the tripartite soul.

Plato and Socrates, as two of the most prominent minds of the ancient times, questioned the features of the human personality under the terms of the natural instincts and the characteristics, which all people get with birth. In fact, all the thoughts of these two masters stand on ...

Today we are in the middle of a seeming “race-war” between civilians and law enforcement. Allegations are flung wildly, almost on a daily basis, concerning the use of excessive force by police officers as headlines continue to report abuse, and even deaths at the hands of those who are sworn to protect. It is considered more disconcerting because it is over twenty years after the 1992 L.A. riots, which brought the public’s attention to serious issues within law enforcement, and demanded change. Today, we are not seeing much of that change and the majority of the violence, if ...

Abstract

STPA (System-Theoretic Process Analysis), is a new hazard analysis technique designed to “eliminate or control scenarios” before they result in losses (Leveson 2011). STPA is based upon an analysis of loss of functional control of a process rather than on an analysis of failure of individual components. Therefore, the model that is used in STPA is a functional control diagram rather than a physical component diagram (Leveson 2011). STPA provides guidance to the users, as opposed to other hazard analyses. In addition, STPA can be used before a system ...

Sex and sexuality is one of the most important issues pertaining to women and gender studies. While sex refers to an individual’s gender, sexuality refers to an individual’s expression as a human being, which begins at birth and continues until death (Weeks 9).

In other words, sexuality constitutes an individual’s values, attitudes, behavior and knowledge, and is mostly influenced by the family, culture and society.

Part A. Answer the following questions based on the literature:

PTP (Pretrial publicity) creates a set of problems that forensic social/cognitive/experimental psychologists are uniquely qualified to address. What are some of these problems? Hint: they are psychological (social/cognitive) and legal (procedural/substantive). Thus, begin by addressing: why we are concerned with PTP at all? What are the alleged effects and what does the social science research indicate regarding these effects (be specific in citing literature)? One of the problems, caused by Pre-Trial Publicity is the cognitive one. This means that juries get the information about the case under some circumstances, identified by the pre-trial mass media articles, which they ...

(Author Name) (Course Name/Number) The human brain is simply fascinating, and although it is at the very core of all human reasoning, intellect, and ability, it is still largely unexplored and misunderstood. The physical and social sciences have collaboratively conducted hundreds, if not thousands, of studies aimed at understanding the connection between the brain and human behavior, but even more interesting are the physiological processes that are intertwined to create a roadmap of human behavior, response, and consciousness that drives our very existence. These physiological processes are comprised of nervous systems functions, sensory system functions, and brain functions, which ...

Introduction

Over the years, little has changed the way romantic relationships are formed. Both scholars and the average dater agree it usually begins with physical attraction and perceived similarity, and progresses in a somewhat predictable manner from there. Typically, this progression has followed theoretical frameworks such as Knapp’s stages of relational development and Taylor’s (1968) social penetration theory. What these theorists might not have accounted for in the 1970’s (and what seems to be transforming the way young people pursue relationships) is the invention of the Smartphone.

This critic seems well argued, as social behavior does not ...

In 1764, Cesare Beccaria published the book, On Crime and Punishment. His work provided the foundations of classical criminology. In classical criminology, benefits and consequences are argued to be behind all human behavior. Most people compare the future benefits and costs of particular actions before they commit a crime. The argument put forward is that individuals would not participate in any criminal action if the cost is relatively higher than the benefit (Marcello 3). This paper seeks to analyze the Beccaria’s classical school of criminology and how it changed the justice system in the western world. It also ...
