The careers paths that I am interested in are ESL Teaching, or becoming a Psychologist, which fits me most. ESL teaching is primary overseas like Thailand, China, and Japan, but there are opportunities in big cities that have foreign exchange students in the United States and Canada. ESL teaching is teaching students English in a safe environment and influencing culture trends to help them understands English words. My other career path is being psychologist and the work is usually local, or nationwide because there isn’t a real need for psychologists in Asia because their culture clashes with a foreigner culture. Psychologist job is to help clients get back on the right track of life, or simple helping clients with stress.

The practice of researching human behavior, which dates back to most ancient civilizations, has become better understood and more effective over time. This research led to modern psychology and has become increasingly broad since the first notion that one person could observe and measure the reasoning behind another person’s actions. Researchers in the field can study psychology as a whole or one of the various sub-disciplines that psychology breaks down into. These sub-disciplines range from the psychology of learning to fringe theoretical psychology. The men and women who conduct studies in the psychological field, referred to as psychologists, continue research in their sub-disciplines to add to the knowledge of the community. Psychologists focus on the study of the mind while clinicians treat individuals that suffer from psychological disorders. Now that I have covered psychology’s growth, I will move on to the ways that psychology currently impacts the world.
Child Psychologists - I am very interested in the field of child psychologist, mainly because so many doctors, parents, and school officials only desire that children behave rather than wondering what is making them behave this way. I would love the opportunity to use my knowledge from health psychology, and other complimenting classes to help determine the reasoning behind behavior issues, social ineptness, and emotional needs that children with and without special circumstances deal with on a daily basis. I realize that in order to perform this type of job I have several more years of hard work and dedication ahead. However, I feel that the need is present and in our fast-paced world, it appears to be growing rather than leveling out.
Psychology is a social science that aims to study the mind and the behaviors of humans. It aims to understand what drives humans to act the way they do. It differs from sociology and anthropology in that it takes accounts the individual rather than society as a whole.
Psychology is the study of the mind and behavior and translates as science of the soul. It is the study of human behavior and deals with how we think, feel, and act. Some areas of psychology are clinical, industrial, physiological, experimental, personality, social, and developmental. Psychologists can work in hospitals, schools, rehabilitation facilities, in public and private clinics or in the research field. They usually treat persons with mental and emotional disorders, so one may ask; why bother with psychology if you do not want to actually work as a psychologist? Even though it happens that i do want to study psychology, this year that i was introduced to it,i discovered that even if i wanted to study something entirely different, psychology would still be useful to me. So when studying psychology, you learn about human nature. This means that psychology actually has impact on every aspect in life. It helps see through the motives other people too have more importantly, it will help you to understand your own motives better. As a result

Psychology is the study of the mind, its biology, and behavior if the individual. The father of psychology, Wilhelm Wundt, used objective measurement and controlled analyzing to find and emphasize separation between psychology and philosophy (McLeod). Wundt opened the Institute for Experimental Psychology at the University of Leipzig in Germany in 1879, using his background in physiology to study reactions and sensations (McLeod). There is no doubt that he, along with the later help of Sigmund Freud, launched what is now modern psychology. Psychology and its research helped the world understand the inner workings of the mind and how it affects everyone around us.
Becoming a Language Teacher is a valuable tool, which provides a practical guide to the skills and knowledge needed by teachers to address the diverse needs of language learners. Today, mainstream classroom teachers work with learners with a diverse range of backgrounds and therefore teachers face multiple challenges; they need to teach content-area curriculum while at the same time supporting students ' language development. Thus, what makes the second edition of the book stands out is that it addresses both the academic and language needs of language learners, and it supports novice language teachers at the beginning of their teaching careers. Its goal is to help teachers become creative, competent, supportive and up-to date language teachers
Psychology deals with the study of mental processes and a variety of behaviors. In order to fully comprehend ourselves, we need to understand the causes of our behaviors and our outlook on life. Habits and behaviors have positive and negative effects in our life. When we know ourselves and learn about our unique personality, we can develop and pursue goals. Psychology also helps us to understand other people and the differences of people. Gaining this knowledge can improve the relationships and enhance our communication skills. Throughout the psychology course I gained knowledge in various areas, and the topics that impacted me the most included: the introvert, anxiety disorders, stress management, self discipline and how to develop strong relationships.
The definition of psychology is as follows: “The scientific study of the human mind and its functions, especially those affecting behavior in a given context.”(Merriam-Webster’s dictionary, 1828) There are many fields of psychology an individual can go into, whether its clinical, forensic, or otherwise Psychology is a very broad field of scientific study that affects many aspects of our lives. There are people who study this science in schools, hospitals, private practices and more. This science also interests me as well. I have already taken psychology in my junior year, and I am currently taking AP psychology in order to gain some credits for college. The study fascinates me; the reason being that it explains our behavior and what makes us different from any other species on this planet. It goes in-depth of the analysis of humans’ greatest accomplishments and lowest behaviors. It turns our
Throughout the history of psychology, there have been many influential psychologists. Each of these psychologists left their own individual and unique mark in psychology and the world in general. A psychologist is clinically defined as a person who studies the mind and behavior and specializes in diagnosing and using "talk therapy" in treating emotional disturbances, mental illnesses, and behavioral problems. One of the many influential psychologists in American psychology is John B. Watson, Father of Behaviorism. Watson is best known for his life, behaviorism, career achievements and Little Albert Experiment.
Social psychologists are already increasing their knowledge of social behaviour as an encouragement by using brain scans as an evolving field known as a social neuroscience. Psychology also influences on issues of public interests and the major problem of our period is violence, racial and ethical prejudice, terrorism, poverty and environmental and technological disasters. Those have an important aspect. Also population becomes more diverse and it develops as an issue of diversity. Such studies as racial, ethnic, linguistic and cultural will be more important for psychologists to provide services and doing
My future career choice is nursing, which is a profession that has been immensely affected by globalization. Globalization is, by definition, the sharing of knowledge, technique, and application across the globe. Nursing is one of the more affected professions because of how important it is to have global standards for treating disease. Not only that, but it 's crucial to have an understanding of a patient 's cultural or religious beliefs before treating them,
As a clinical psychologist individuals must be able to analyze the information they collect and draw logical conclusions from them, demonstrate patience, have devotion to their work, be responsible and honest.

Psychologists must keep patients problems in
...ons for myself, I’m only good at doing that for other people. Good jobs for me would be a philosopher, writer or theologian. I really don’t want to be any of those things. All these career choices are very far away from both a Flight Attendant and a Developmental Therapist. I don’t really think that I could ever be happy as a flight attendant, it feels too limited. However, I do think that there are other career options that involve traveling that I would enjoy more. I would like the sense of freedom that traveling freely around the world would give me. However, I know that I need stability and comfort in my life, coming back to a place I call home is important to me. Hopefully, I will find a job or position that fully uses my talents and allows me to experience the world but also gives me the chance to think and implement things that can help improve the world.
