The relevance of psychology to teacher?
Each student in a classroom is different - they learn in different ways, they have different likes and dislikes, they have different unbringings. So although you may never open the education psychology books ever again when you get into your own classroom as a teacher, you do need to ensure you are catering for each students individual needs in order to be an effective teacher. Education psychology helps you to better understand where each student is coming from so you can cater for them efficiently.
To make themselves fit it in, Or lash out.
No, it is simply a lack of vocabulary and a way to cover up for that lack and to irritate anyone who might enjoy the English language. It is a also form of verbal exageration to make the user feel important when in fact they feel lacking.
How do you know when someone's lying?
there is waaay to many different people with lots of different clues into whether theyre lying or not. eye contact is a big thing. if they cannot look you in the eye consistently while saying what theyre saying, odds are its probably a lie. if they automatically jump on the defensive when you ask, its probably a lie. its a lot like when you're playing poker, each player has a different tell. it takes time to learn what the tell is. if you can, without being discovered, check their story out. if he/she says theyre at so and so's house, ask so and so what they did while they were there. so on. hope this helps!
Depth perception is caused by having two eyes at a certain distance apart and a brain adapted to interpreting the two slightly different images as one.
How can you not pee your pants if you are about to pee yourself?
Take your pants off of course...or not. You shouldn't hold it for too long. Urine is filled with poison that, if left in the blood, would have killed you, so Nature intended on it leaving your body in a timely fashion, roughly every 3 to 4 hours. If you need to go so badly that it hurts, try to disengage from whatever you are doing and go. If you make a regular habit of waiting - and too many people do - you will definitely eventually harm your urinary tract health. If, however, it is a rare occurrence that you need to hold it back, flex the muscles that are used to stop the flow of urine (pelvic floor muscles) and try to keep from moving around (you will feel like jumping around but that will only make it worse), don't let anything press against your lower abdomen, and try to stay as calm as you can. As soon as it's possible in any way to break away from the situation you're involved in, do so. If you do lose control and wet yourself, your bladder will only empty itself partway, so either get to a bathroom as soon as you can to complete emptying it and clean up, or, if your are in genuine pain, let the rest of it loose. Then avoid getting into that kind of situation again. And if you're in any kind of relationship where you are bullied or abused for needing to urinate, report the person who is bullying or abusing you and do whatever you can to get away from the relationship.
Why do people often find inappropriate jokes so funny?
Embarrassment: because they don't want to think about the subject.
New person here; Some people are racist, and they just laugh to the joke. Adults also swear and are smarter than children, so they understand the jokes very well...

How did white people treat black people during slavery?
Slaves were tortured and they had to work for white men all day long with no break and they got nothing in return. White people had rights and they didn't have someone dictate their lives. White women didn't have as many rights as white men but atleast they had rights. The slaves had no rights and they lived in hell everyday.
How do people recover from earthquakes?
earthquake described on the previous page to estimate damages to buildings and infrastructure. From these estimates all other aspects of the study emerged, including emergency response in the critical first week after the earthquake, casualties, mental health and sheltering needs, and the impacts on different sectors of the region's diverse economy.
The study estimates that should it occur, this earthquake will cause some 1,800 deaths and 53,000 injuries. Yet this terrible tragedy could be considerably worse. By comparison, the similarly sized, 2008 Sichuan, China earthquake may have caused 100,000 fatalities.
The ShakeOut Scenario's casualty numbers are a testament to decades of life safety improvements in California's building codes, which have evolved as understanding has grown regarding building performance in earthquakes. The intent of the building codes is to protect people during an earthquake, not to keep buildings functional after the quake. Nor do the building codes fix existing buildings that are now recognized to do poorly in earthquakes -- it takes retrofitting to do that. Thousands of older buildings will collapse in the ShakeOut earthquake, and another 45,000 will be complete economic losses.
Earthquakes start fires in numerous ways, and earthquake damages to phones, roads, and buildings enable fires to spread before help can arrive. In areas where there is strong shaking to start fires, and tightly spaced wood buildings that allow fire to spread, the fires will grow into conflagrations, burning tens to hundreds of blocks. Fires account for half of the ShakeOut Scenario casualty and loss estimates.
"BEACHFRONT PROPERTY IN ARIZONA"
The idea of California falling into the ocean has had an enduring appeal to those envious of life in the Golden State. Of course, the ocean is not a great hole into which California can fall, but it is itself land at a somewhat lower elevation with water above it. The motion of plates will not make California sink -- western California is moving horizontally along the San Andreas fault and up around the Transverse ranges.
This earthquake's economic losses total $213 billion, due to shaking damage and several other factors. Because fire damage is so complete, the fires have the worst impact on the costs of replacing buildings and contents. However, disruption of utilities is the main reason that it will take a long time for business to get back to normal.
One important result of the ShakeOut Scenario study is that the key to recovery lies with infrastructure: the essential facilities like roads, hospitals and dams; and the lifelines that supply water, power, gas, and communication. The more damage there is to infrastructure, the slower the recovery.
The ShakeOut earthquake will cause many shocks to southern California's regional economy. Understanding and comparing the impact of these shocks is important to recovery planning. When considering the cost of replacing lost buildings, building contents, and infrastructure, fire creates the biggest shock to the economic system, bigger than shaking, fault rupture, landslides, and liquefaction combined. This makes sense, because fire can destroy so completely. However, when considering the length of time that normal business will be interrupted, disruption of utility service creates the biggest shock. This makes sense, because few businesses can function without water or power.
Lifelines and Facilities -- The Key to RecoveryPower will go out immediately, everywhere, and restoration times vary. In the most heavily damaged areas, electricity will remain out for weeks or longer. Some residences will suffer broken gas lines when their houses slip from unbolted foundations.
Water will stop flowing in many taps for weeks or months. In many communities, strong ground shaking will break old, brittle water pipes and connectors, and there will be so many breaks that it will prove cheaper and faster to replace the entire conveyance system, rather than hunt and repair every break. The process will be neither cheap nor fast, and communities will compete for repair priority.
Many wastewater pipes are also old and brittle, and run alongside water pipes under the streets. Broken sewer pipes will contaminate broken water pipes, and in some places, tap water will be unsafe to drink for as long as a year.
Telecommunications will be out for at least a day, because of some damage and much overuse. Phone systems will be oversaturated because millions are trying to make calls at once. How cell phone towers are affixed to buildings is not regulated, so towers will be damaged by shaking. Two thirds of the region's internet lines will be ruptured by the fault.
Transportation by road and rail will be disrupted by fault rupture and landslides, and take months to repair. Retrofitting of state highway bridges prevents their collapse, but not those under most local jurisdictions. For months, getting around the southland will take longer, and travel time delays add more than $4 billion to economic losses.
Hospitals in the hardest hit counties of Riverside, San Bernardino, and Los Angeles will be operating at reduced functionality. At a time when thousands of disaster victims need hospital care, some hospital buildings will be closed by structural damage; many others will be unusable because of non-structural damage such as broken water pipes and unsecured equipment.
Public schools-- grades K-12 and community colleges -- are protected by the Field Act, legislation that sets special construction and inspection standards. Structurally, public schools will hold up well, although non-structural and contents damage will pose problems. Private schools and universities are not protected by the Field Act and some will suffer both structural and non-structural damage.
The Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach are important contributors to the region's economy. They will not suffer much damage from this far-away earthquake, but their flow of goods will be disrupted for months, as many principal train routes and truck routes are damaged by fault rupture.
Principles governing human behavior?
Your values. Of the 7-8 areas of life, we have a "hierarchy" of values of what is most important to us to what is least important to us. Our childhood "voids" (what we thought was missing in our lives) drive those systems that are created from those early events.
I would go as far to say that for all of us that have an "imprint" put on us. This item can go from our thinking, to how we view and handle money, our sex lives, and mostly how we feel about ourselves.
While we are not a complete slave to our values, the top one or two typically do not change. Even if something important as money is at the bottom of our value list and maybe family is at the top-you can learn to "anchor" making money to your family and have the best of all worlds.
Even our P.E.A.R. (Perception causes us to have an Emotion, which stimulates and Action, which yields a Result) determines most items for us, it is that initial perception that drives the ultimate action from our "charges" or what we think is both missing and one-sided. All events are two-sided equally. All perceptions are emotionally based one-sided events that simply are not true. Our pasts are usually all a lie, until the work is done to balance those events into two-sided activities that had equal positives and negatives simultaneously. Hope this helps! Dr. Mike

What is kohlberg's approach to psychology?
The piaget approach to psychology was the cognitive approach which concentrates on the study of internal mental processes or the thinking part the human mind is viewed in a similar way to an information processor of a computer and psychologists like piaget used scientific experiments to highlight this
basically the way we think is abnormal and cant really be answered. the human body is an extraordinary figure and very complicated. the brain which is set up to think at different times also known as multi-tasking...while one side of your brain reads the what the object is, the other part may tell you what it does or try to figure how it may be used. Most time when you think its to overcome a obstacle no matter how small or big... ex.(where am i going, what should i do next, how will i or what am i doing tomorrow etc.) as we think we fall into a state where our thoughts become our speech. we can use our thoughts to prepare ourselves ahead of time and control what we do next. this would be the obstacle. as i am using my thought to write this answer because the obstacle for you is how do people think.

Is a aspirin a day good for you?
Low-dose aspirin (as 81 - 162mg ) can safely be taken by most individuals for primary prevention of heart attacks; however, those taking Coumadin should be alert for the possibility of bruising or bleeding .
How do you live with a compulsive liar?
Living with a compulsive liar can be challenging. It's important to establish boundaries and communicate openly about the behavior. Encouraging professional help, such as therapy, can also be beneficial for both the individual and the relationship.
Do Irish people have bad tempers?
I think so to a point. I think it is a natural aggression Irish people and people of Irish descent just have, like a chemical defect, but a natural one. I'm not from Ireland but my great grandparents are. All my family even after they moved to the states had been Irish, and EVERY one of them are natural hot heads when they get agitated, even friends I have that are Irish for the most part have that distinct "Irish temper" that stands out when let loose. So yes, Irish people have a temper, but that doesn't mean they're irrationally angry or bad people.
How does psychology's different perspectives contribute to a view of human behavior?
[Your question is far too broad, for a short answer anyway. There are at least as many answers as there are branches or aspects of psychology, viz. cognitive, social, psychodynamic, behaviourist, humanist, physiological, and each of those has sub-aspects too. Plus, there's the whole notion of 'human nature' to be dealt with too. So: too broad a question!]
In short, perception is how you see the world around you.
it specifically involves how you view the people around you, and what you think the implications are about certain personal events that involve you and others in your life.
It affects interpersonal abilities, such as our abilities to relate or at least understand others on some level.
At the same time, impairment in perception can be due to a psychological illness or a prolonged attitude towards others that is caused by something that has happened in his/her past experience.
What might someone do during a speech to make you think they are nervous?
Someone who is nervous during a speech may display signs such as shaky voice, fidgeting, excessive perspiration, avoiding eye contact, and speaking too quickly or stumbling over their words. These physical cues can indicate their anxiety and discomfort while speaking.
if somebody has not yet been able to develop a form of communication it could lead them to feel inadiquate frustrated and angry which could lead to severe challanging behaviour, or feeling withdrawn
Academic enrichment refers to programs, activities, or opportunities that go beyond the standard curriculum to enhance students' learning experiences. These may include advanced courses, workshops, research projects, study abroad programs, or extracurricular activities geared towards developing critical thinking, creativity, and specialized skills. The goal of academic enrichment is to provide students with a more well-rounded education and prepare them for success in higher education and future careers.
How do you show respect to your husband?
You do it with him when he asks You would show respect by taking what he says when he is being serious to heart, and really thinking about the best thing for the both of you, and letting him take charge like that. This rule goes into the bedroom, sure, but it is not limited to that. Make sure that your opinion is known to him, but that he takes the authority for the most part, though not without letting you know what is up whenever something is going down. Social situations are a biggie. You should try to never appear domineering over him, as that chafes his ego, and that ego is part of what protects you from the freaks, pervs, and ex-cons. Moderation is always a good choice, as you should make your prescence known at meals and such with other people, but not so much so that he feels snubbed or so that he feels antagonized by being talked over. Respect does go hand in hand with discipline, as going too far is showing a lack of self-discpline as well as a lack of respect for yourself and him too. And no, I am not married, or even engaged, nor do I have this down either, but I know that it willl work, as it is logical and Biblical.
