Why I Chose To Study Psychology

I first thought that psychology was the study of human thought and way of life using only philosophical themes. I am not used to philosophical questions, so I thought myself not related to psychology. Since as I read the textbook, I realized that I can grasp human experience and behavior in a scientific approach. I am currently major in Nutrition and Food Science. As I chose this major, I took lab-oriented courses such as chemistry and biology. I was satisfied with the results that were relatively clearer than the vastness of literature and history, so I did not expect to be in psychology classes. But as I revised the roadmap for my life, I realized that I needed a psychology class. The reason I chose the nutrition field is that I want to be

I should not simply talk what someone should eat tomorrow evening. Further, should be able to talk about their lives with them. It can provide satisfying Nutritional information to the other person, and I can have the expertise to help others.

The programs stimulated the curiosity of the public, and it seemed to be a part of psychology, but in fact, this story was wrong. I have come to know at this opportunity that it is called Pseudo-Psychology, which is not scientific psychology, what seems to be psychology, and the public believes that it is about unproven phenomena is called Folk Psychology. I think the reason why some of the fields that are not officially recognized can be treated as if they were psychology is that some media have been greedy to get public attention. What I was surprised to find about Pseudo-Psychology such as blood type personality was that this theme sprang out only in East Asia such my home country, South Korea. Typically we could not find out in the around the world. Even I was relatively familiar with my blood type from my childhood. Although when I was exploring this topic and asked friends from different countries, many of my friends talked opinions that they did not know exactly what their blood type was. According to my hypothesis, many Westerners do not know what blood type they have. When I analyzed the
