My Future Job



Hi everybody!!! How are you!!??

Today I´m going to talk about my future job, or at least, the job that I think that I will have, but first I will tell you what major I´m taking.
Well today I am doing a major in  Cognitive behavioral psychology, I am not sure if this major will help me to find the job that I want, but it is a field of psychology that I really love and I think that it will be a major that will help me in any job that I will take in the future.

Well, on the other hand, I hope that in the future, I can work on psychological skills but I´m not 100% sure.  To have this job, I have to specialize in legal psychology and I must be an specialist in psychological evaluations. I am planning to do this major in the next year.
I think that it is an interesting job, you can work for the PDI or you can work for the ministry of justice. The work that you have to have in this job, is make  psychological reports of many cases like sexual abuse, violent crime, suicide, homicides, etc.
When  I will have  to choose a job, I will consider aspects like  Salary, Benefits , Location and work atmosphere. I think that all this aspects are very important to keep you interested in the work and is probable that you make a good job if this aspects are present.
I really think that I have strengths for that job, I think tha I am a strong person, with the ability to support horrible cases of abuse and violence and at the same time I can make a good job.
If I have to admit a weaknesses, I will say that I´m a stressed person, I will probably get stressed with the amount of reports that I will have to do, but it is not a big problem, because I usually finish all my work on time.

Why do people discriminate??

Hi Everybody!!

Today it's a new and beautiful day, don't you think?

The topic of today is The “Discriminatión”, particularly I´m going to talk about “Why do people discriminate?” from my point of view.

Well, I think that the discrimination is an adaptative response if we look this concept without a moral point of view. The etiology of discriminatory behavior could have an associative base. For example, many people that usually commit crimes have similar characteristic, so we associate this characteristic whit a crime situation and for that we discrimanate or we go away from the people with this characteristic.
The same mechanism work when we have an aversive experience with a dangerous animal, this animals ussually have some especific characteristic that we will never forget if this animals attack to us. So, if we could remember and discriminate this characteristic in the future, probably we have the opportunity to escape before the animal catch us when we confront to it. This is the reason because I think that the discriminatory behavior is an adaptative behavior.

Of course, if we analyze the “Discrimination” from another point of view, it could be an horrible behavior because when a person discriminate to another person could generate a big suffering. I think that The Society is a complex thing where the adaptative response and evolutionary behavior is not enough to have a peaceful life.  However, we can´t escape from ours evolutional  mechanism.
For that, I thint that the people ussually fight between the morals things to promote a peaceful life and the adaptative response of discrimination to prevent they self from a potential danger.
