POSTER

SAVE GAZA. PRAY FOR THEM. 

 

ModElLinG.....

If we are given an option to choose what the thing we want to involve in either in…

 

 Do you know what the reality show that you LIKE the

most??

in what reason you tend to choose that program??

Either from the participant or from the content of the show or from the prizes that are offered?

Based on my opinion whatever is our option is depend on the outcome that we will get from that.

Actually anything that we tend to follow from the variety show program is based on the concept of modelLing.

We tend to follow the celebrity from that variety show to become our “role model”

For example, there are certain people who like to follow their celebrity’s ways of life in terms of the attitude, the ways they dress and many thing.

So, we can know that, people who are born from reality show will be “model” to the people outside and sometimes they will be treated special by some people.

Actually it is not wrong to make the celebrity from reality show to become our role model, but what we need to think before it is what we will get if we mae them as our role model?

Do they will show us to the right way or do they will make our life happy and get entertainment only??

So, which one do we prefer the most??

We want the happiness only in this period or we want the benefits that we can share with others that will give us benefits in hereafter..

So, lets think and ponder about it…

There was a teenager named Ali who lived in a village and being a middle class citizen, he led quite a stable life, at least financially. Having a mother who was a housewife who took great care in bringing him up, Ali’s father who worked as a teacher, remained contented in being the soul breadwinner of the family.

Ali’s father loved his family very much. Although he was busy man, he managed to show his affection towards his wife and son by treating them to a scrumptious and luxurious dinner soon after he received his monthly salary. Ali will cherished at the thought of his father receiving his salary because aside from being treated to a wonderful dinner, he will surely received some gifts from his father.

One fine day when Ali paid his friend a visit, he accidentally stepped on one of his friend’s cats which happened to be the wildest among all and that rendered him to be bitten by it. Ali was petrified of seeing his foot being deeply wounded. In effect, every single time he bumped into a cat, he’ll turn away with great dislike.

Back in his childhood years, swimming was Ali’s favorite activity in his leisure time. He always goes to the beach with his family during the weekends. Swimming was his forte, but unfortunately, he nearly get drowned by a huge crashing wave on that tragic day. That incident was too traumatic for him and just having thoughts about going to a beach shall make him shudder with fear of the possibility in losing his precious life. It was just too risky, according to him.

At the age of ten years, Ali’s was harshly spanked by his teacher whenever he failed to provide an answer for questions posed by him. This made him frightened of his teacher and to an extent, he sometimes wetted his pant. Eight years later when Ali ran into him by chance, he scurried away from him with fear.

After getting satisfying results from his SPM, Ali furthered his studies in one of the famous university in his country. Despite enrolling with ease, he encountered a bad experience with one of his lecturer. Ali’s conversation with him never went well. What’s more, he was publicly yelled at and getting blamed with all sorts of nonsense accusations. While he disliked this particular lecturer, nevertheless he remained contented with the other lecturers.

Ali fancied drinking coffee in the morning to avoid dozing off in class. As time passed by, his daily coffee intake heightened that he drank them every few hours. This habit had successfully prolonged, up till a time when the smell of coffee rendered him to badly nauseate in addition to the headache he was frequently experiencing. In a short while, he left coffee for good.

Ali was a food lover and his most loved meals were spaghetti, pizza and spicy dishes. His appetite shall rise simply at the sight of fork and spoon. Even though Ali ate a lot, he was nonetheless healthy as he had incorporated exercises as part of his daily routine.

Yet the flipside of Ali’s healthy lifestyle was the fact that he was a heavy smoker. He managed to smoke several packets of cigarettes daily. Apparently he has turned over a new leaf by abandoning this rueful habit and that was caused by his father’s death. He was terminally ill from lung cancer and the fact that his father used to be a heavy smoker had caused him to feel greatly  alarmed.

 In taking a step towards intervention, he chewed on some medicated chewing gum to subside his smoking cravings. After months of struggles in restraining himself from smoking, and despite having not quitting fully, he managed to set aside a great deal of unused cigarettes and persisted on having hopes that one fine day, he will feel indifferent towards cigarettes.

3rd Reflection

  

     This lesson is a recap of classical conditioning which has been learned way back when we were taking introduction to psychology. It is crucial to remember the keyterms that are associated with conditioning and the sequence of the conditioning process. 

     Without much realization, human undergoes conditioning throughout their lives. It may bring about negativity which may be detrimental psychologically or it may bring about positive changes in one’s live. In short, both pros and cons never fail to exist. 

The Apparatus that used by Pavlov to study classical conditioning.

     When reading a case story and  having to point out the NS, NR, UCR, UCS, CR and finally, CS (easy to mention when these have been abbreviated), it can be deemed as a mentally ardous task yet after loads of practices, the speed in detecting what was required increased gradually. In a nutshell, classical conditioning do happen to human, not only dogs, in case you are wondering the opposite way.

     As we know, behaviorism is the changing of behavior. How can we apply behaviorism in our daily life? The changing of behavior can be learned or trained. For example, we learned how to be a good person and we have been trained how to be disciplined. Sometimes, the environment will make us change our behavior whether to be good or to be bad. 

    

    Even animals learn how to use the toilet and how to be tamed, so why not human? we are contantly changing our behaviors and constantly trained to do so starting from the moment we are born. The previous class (25^th September) did provide us with sufficient understandings about behaviorism through applying it in real life situation.

Reflection

Reflection 1

(LEARNING)

• The first class reminds us on what we have learned during the Introduction to Psychology. After the class we are able to differentiate learning and non-learning activities. Besides that, we have also learned that learning can be recognized based on certain criterion which is, long term change of behavior, due to experience and that the behavior must be associated with mental representation and changing of behavior.

(PUZZLE)

•  Upon our first encounter with the symbol guessing game, it is unbelievable knowing that our brains are able to translate and interpret symbols into sensible phrases. This particular game really pushes our mind to think out of the box provided that we have some knowledge and to at least be familiar with phrases suchs as; round of applause, coffee break, over the moon, circles of friends and etc.

• The wonders of our minds have yet to be fully unraveled. Despite this mystery, we are in constant gratitude to Allah for blessing us with excellent brains to be fully optimized.

 (QURANIC VERSES)

• We are now aware of the existence of vast amount of Quranic verses related to the matters of psychology such as behavior, social learning and cognitive. Althoughwe might b e troubled by the difficulties of identifying and finding Quranic verses that related the those categories to a lack of Quranic knowledge and language, we are nevertheless, truly satisfied for finding the basis of behaviorism, social learning and cognition in the following verses shown below:

al - Hujurat

Ibrahim

al - Isra

(NERVES)

• We have quite a challenging time labelling the different parts of a neuron and for those who have yet to take up physiological psychology, this task would be very much confusing. What's more, things have gotten out of hand when the labelling goes to a human body whereby one has to be a neuron. Imaginations and creativity are very much needed here for the labelling to be completed. What have we gained from this enjoyable activity is the ease of locating and naming the different parts of neurons.
• Nerves are of different shapes and sizes amd they function as information transmitters all across our body system. This proves that we are amazing and unique in nature and as a brilliant creation of Allah, knowing these facts should further strengthen our faith towards Him
