Topics in the News?

What I would like you to do is to start applying what we are learning in class to real world matters. Some might ask, "What good is learning psychology if we can't apply it to real world matters?" "Are we learning from the past or are we simply repeating our mistakes?" So that is what we are going to do with this week's topical blog assignment.

What I would like you to do is to either go to NPR (http://www.npr.org/ ), the BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/ ) there are some good news source links at the bottom of the following page (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ listed in their news sources) and read, watch, or listen to something that is interesting to you and relates to what we have been learning about the history of psychology. Write an informative response to the article. How you go about it is largely up to you, however it must read as though a college student half way through a semester of class wrote it. Correctly use the terms and concepts we have been reading about in your response.

When you are done, copy and paste the URL at the bottom so we can go and see the sources you used.

Let me know if you have any questions.
