I chose to take this course for a reason that psychology is a very fascinating subject to me. I believe that psychology helps explain why we are the way we are and after taking this course, I have a better understanding about myself such as the cause of certain emotions or my personality and character traits. I also learned a lot more about other people such as why they behave the way they do, so it helps enhance my positive character since I have become a much more understanding person in general.
