Getting to choose who lives and who dies? This is the reason I fell in love with the Trolley Theory during one of our lectures. The Trolley Theory is an ethical experiment commonly discussed and analyzed by philosophers. In the experiment‚ you must decide if having a single person die in an accident is better‚ or worse than having five people die in an accident.

pretty excited about all the different types of things we were going to learn and talk about over this semester. I have always found the subject of psychology to be very interesting and now I was getting the chance to actually take a psychology class.

Sport Psychology To fully understand sport psychology‚ we must ask ourselves two very important questions‚ first‚ what is sport psychology and second‚ who is it for? Put in the most sim-ple way‚ sport psychology can be an example of psychological knowledge‚ principles‚ or methods applied to the world of sport. "Two psychologists‚ Bunker and Maguire‚ say sport psychology is not for psychologists‚ but is for sport and its participants." (Murphy & White‚ 1978:2) However‚ it can be argued that sport

Science and Religion Can Coexist – Revision 2 For centuries science and religion have been competing with each other to reign supreme over the other. It makes one wonder just why it has come to this.
