If you ask someone why they want to study Psychology have given me a plethora of reasons...
“Oh I had an experience where my Mum’s friend had depression and ever since I wanted to help” – There has honestly been no emotional or anecdotal trigger to my fascination. (This is not to say that nothing has happened, but there is a stronger rooting for Psychology in my heart than this). I honestly cannot trace back to when and where and why this originated from. It almost seems innate. Our minds make the world go round. Case studies such as those explored in “A Man who mistook his Wife for a Hat” where Sacks really sympathetically gives us a very descriptive insight into individuals lives and how the brain can control someone’s entire understanding on the world. For example he explains a man who has lived his life on a tilt, his centre of gravity is completely skewed. He has no idea of this until he is shown a video of him walking on a slant.
Maybe it was luck? I consider myself lucky to be given the opportunity to take Psychology GCSE but even before then I knew I wanted to take it. Surely because I am human and I behave, I percieve, I live and I interact with others, I should want to know about the human condition.
