First Three Chapters

                I learned about what makes psychology a science. Knowing that you can’t assume and that you have to test while being open minded and watch what really is going on opens up a whole new level of aspect on life. Learning how psychology is a science lets me open my mind more and question things that have been given. It gives me more insight to what can be and what can’t be.

            I also learned that culture matters. Culture helps shape our behavior and who we are, but we would still be the same person if we were born in a different culture. Culture just helps shape our views of many different topics. It shows me that even though I am American I could be British, Italian, or even Chinese and still have the same personality. I am able to be who I am in any and every culture just by being myself.

            I furthermore learned what make fraternal and identical twins different besides their looks. Identical twins develop from a single fertilized egg that splits in two. They are genetically identical and natures own clones. Fraternal twins are developed from separate fertilized eggs. It shows me that there are still differences between all twins. I see both identical and fraternal twins all day and learning more about the conception differences helps me understand more about how they are identical or fraternal.

            I found the mating preferences most interesting. Reading why men and women chose each other and why gives more insight into others minds. Men are more attracted to women who are healthy and fertile-appearing to send on their genes into the future. Women are more attracted to men who are more likely will stick around and be fathers a long time. Reading it and then talking to people about the person they are with all come back to the psychological reasons even though they think that they are with the person for some other reason.

            1) Why are fraternal twins more overlooked than identical besides fraternal being more common?

            2) Are we able to be like one parent more than the other?

            3) Even though all twins are close socially, why are identical twins deemed “more close” than    fraternal?
