Preface to Forward

After having studied psychology as a school subject i became more and more interesed in this scientific field and tried to improve my knowledge about it.
My first reason for choosing such a topic is the fact that i am really fascinated by psychological phenomena that can describe and explain human behaviour from many perspectives.My dream is to manage to undestand such things and later on in life,after taking some specialised courses to be able to assist those in need for psychological aid.
The second reason for picking out to write about psychology and human behavior is the fact that direct research thrills me,maybe in an endeavour to help my fellow humans behave nicely in our modern society.By reading a lot of periodicals and studying online articles in this domain i think my paper could give its readers a small glimpse of this interesting science
field and lead them towards a fuller comprehension and appreciation of the hard work scientists have done in the domain so far.
It is some reading material for those who love humanity,for those who want to prevent their children...
