"The Study of Man", is all about how this study came about and the different ideas that have come from this study. Through the years the study oh humans has evolved and has been tweaked and defined according to different religious teachings and practices.
The study of humans evolved from what the Ancient Greeks observed as well as what came to be some of Socrates' teachings. Through the years, the study of human nature has become more and more defined. Like when a scientist makes a discovery, there are always other scientists that wants to dig deeper and find something even smaller inside of the cell and call it a nucleus. In that same respect, there is always going to be that person that digs deeper to answer the question of "Why do people do the things that they do?", and then comes out with the discovery of a guilty conscience.
This website takes us through history and describes the developments that have come about because of how complex we are as humans.

What is the study of humans? Psychology? Sociology? You have done an excellent job of telling us by which some of the conduits of human study has evolved; however, I am still unclear as to what you are writing about. Are you discussing the complexity of human behavior? Are you studying something more broad?
ReplyDeleteThe website was very informative. I enjoyed reading the effect religion and science had on humanity. I am not sure, however, how you are going to incorporate this with your topic. There is no response to the reading. What stance do you have on the information presented?
I am very interested in your topic. It is engaging and not much is known about it. Many scientists and professors have attempted to evaluate the human mind just as you are going to. It will be engrossing to see what a teenage mind can produce in this broad field of study.
Mary Liz, I like your topic and I like the website that you chose for this post! It was very informative. I liked how it showed how the study of man has developed throughout time. I also like how it involved a little bit of religion in there. I was confused on one point, however. What did you mean by, "comes out with the discovery of a guilty conscience"?
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading from the website you posted, and I think you did a great job of describing the overall idea and point of the article. I'm very interested to see how your further research develops and what all you will find.
