Problem:
Examine the various perspectives, or schools of thought, in psychology. Think about the following: Which schools of thought do you most relate to when thinking of your behavior and the behavior of those around you? For example, do you believe most people act primarily out of rewards and punishments (Behaviorism), or might the reasons they behave as they do be based more on how their brain is "wired" (Cognitive Psychology)? Then in the Discussion Forum, compare and contrast a minimum of three of the various perspectives in psychology as explained in your textbook that you relate to the most and give reasons why. Share a minimum of one personal example of a behavior or trait related to each of the three perspectives that you chose.
