Reflection

As we continue the discussions about human behaviors in psychology. I noticed that our behavior is influenced by many factors. And one of these factors is biological or physiological. Biologically, our nervous system is the most complex and elaborate system in our body. The nervous system regulates our behavior in order for us to survive. During the discussions I found out that our nervous system is composed of more than 500 million of nerve cells or neurons. These neurons or nerve cells are very important in our body. These are responsible in receiving stimulus or information from the environment then carries it to the brain wherein the brain itself interprets the stimulus in order for us to produce responses accordingly. Without these neurons, we could not coordinate our responses, nor could we perceive, feel or think. But the most important part of our nervous system is our brain because it is the one responsible of all voluntary and some involuntary behaviors. And it is the most intricate, complex and unique mechanism of the human body. So in order for us to have a remarkable behavior, we need to protect and take good care of our brain. In the midway part of the discussions we tackled about Sensation and Perception. This so-called Sensation also affects or influenced our behavior. Through our senses or sensory organs, we come to know our world and what we sense often affects our behavior. Our sense organs are responsible in sensation. And one must be aware or conscious of the stimulus to be able to sense and interpret. And sensation anyway is a prerequisite of perception. Perception on the other hand, is our immediate or intuitive recognition or appreciation to something. It is how we look at others and the world around us. It is also described as interpreting information about other people. Perception affects the way how we communicate with others and it also affects our behavior. Typically, sensation and perception are virtually impossible to separate, because they are part of one continuous process. The last part talks about Motivation. Our behavior is caused by motivation. Motivation is the driving force of our behavior. As it is defined as a need, want, interest, or desire that propels someone in a certain direction. For instance, people think, feel, act differently so their behavior is influenced by the kind of motivation they possess. For me motivation is a result of our individual needs being satisfied or met so that we have inspiration to complete the task. These needs vary from person to person as everybody has their individual needs to motivate themselves. Depending on how motivated we are, it may further determine the effort we put into our task as a student and therefore increase the standard of our knowledge. Motivation has no end. As long as an individual is living, he is always motivated.
