IRB Intro Post #3

     For the third marking period, I am choosing to read the book The Social Animal by Elliot Aronson. This book is gives a perspective on social psychology and why people behave the way they do. The author, Elliot Aronson, presents the research and ideas through real life scenarios and various studies. Human nature and social psychology is depicted through patterns in behavior. The book also connects subjects such as politics, religion, race, obedience, terrorism and more to the aspects of why we act the way we do. This book is a guide through social psychology and leads the reader through a journey of figuring out why we do what we do. I chose to read this book because I have a very strong interest in psychology and want to pursue it in the future. I am hoping to gain answers in my questions about myself and human nature in general.
