Introduction of our journey

I am a high school student who wants to pursue his future academic career as a neuroscientist and brain researcher. Actually, making this decision was not that difficult for me after being aware of the unbelievable brain characteristics worth researching. In the cognitive philosophy, there is commonly used word:” Brain is the small map of whole universe”. It can easily be inferred from this statement that if we learnt the working principles and mechanism behind our brain, it would be possible to understand the complexity of the universe or even some spiritual creatures. Thus, considering all these, I decided to share some interesting and substantial topics regarding brain which be quite capable of showing its distinctness.

This is just basic introduction of my blog.

Perception vs Reality: What is the actual difference between them?

The subject of matter I am going to discuss is probably mostly used concept of psychology in our daily life situations. Somehow, nearly all of us are subject to misunderstanding by others and think that this is due to the wrong interpretations of them, not us. Actually, there is something we can do in order to prevent these occurrences. However, before going deeper in this issue, let`s find out what perception and reality indicate. Perception is recognition and clarification of information obtained with the help of sensory organs. For instance, interview panel observes behaviors of applicant and perceives that he or she is a little bit defensive and not open to negative feedback.

Punishment or rehabilitation: which is more effective technique psychologically?

It is inevitably true that our world has always been full of people committing criminal acts. Currently, there are two main approaches implemented toward these criminals; one is physical or mental punishment and the other is rehabilitation of them, which results in their integration to the society. As far as I know, both techniques are utilized by different systems and philosophical waves: for instance, Islamic juridical system largely focusses on the punishment, while Scandinavian and protestant systems view rehabilitation more advantageous method. In this article, I will draw attention to the psychological outcomes of both and, then, state my own opinion backed up by reliable assumptions and accepted theories of neuroscience. Firstly, it should be clarified in what context the efficacy of punishment and rehabilitation are going to be disclosed. With that aim in mind, I want to give the purpose of prisons; in the widely accepted systems, prisons are used to reduce the probabili...

Human emotions-Anger

In this series called “Human emotions”, I am planning to analyze psychological background of human feelings and their actual stemming places. One of the most intense emotional states, anger and aggression are the main problem in various societies. It is highly important to know how anger emerges in the brain and psychology of humans with the purpose of preventing these kinds of occurrences. According to the major articles and findings, anger is not the primary emotion; rather, it is thought to be a secondary emotion. In a broader sense, anger and aggression is the defense mechanism of our brains against any form of pain, including mental and physical. In my opinion, anger is the natural reaction of humans in case of any interruptions to their targets, goals and self-interest. Despite being highly natural, anger has a lot of psychological costs affecting humans` overall health in a bad manner. For instance, regarding medical side, angry people tend to live so severe diseases...
