PSY 400Week 1 Discussion Question 2
PSY 400Week 1 Discussion Question 1
We are all social animals. We all realize that
much of what we do stems from our interactions
with other people, but we often fail to
appreciate the power of these interactions over
our behavior and thought. If you consider it, you
will be hard put to find anything you do or think
that is completely independent of your social
relationships. What about your values, or your
ideas of what is right and wrong? What about your
preferences or your daily decisions?
    Go to the Social Psychology Network located
at . Spend some time reviewing the information
contained in the web site. Based on what you
learned, what do you feel are the biggest issues
in the field of social psychology?http//www.socia
