10/26/17 lesson 7- Response on " Culture and Psychology"

This week's video opened my eyes about how some behaviors, thoughts and beliefs can impact someone's mind. Our mind is powerful and it does trick us sometimes. For example "Think of this scenario.  A man and his son are in a serious car accident.  The father is killed, and the son is rushed to the emergency room.  Upon arrival, the attending doctor looks at the child and gasps, “This child is my son!”  Who's the doctor?" Why don't we think that the mother is the one saying it? 

The quote "Everyone is a genius, but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it's stupid.” really caught my attention. I totally agree that everyone is a genious in their own way and everybody should feel good about themselves and see their own potential.

Nowadays, there are many things impacting our minds, for example, depression, enxiety, esteryotypes, low self steem, etc. Even though it's not easy as it sound, we have to remember ouserlves everyday that we are real and we matter.
