Why Psychology?

Psychology is a unique blend of biology, philosophy, anthropology, linguistics, and sociology. This makes psychology an important science because it merges all the “gray areas” of other scientific fields into one science. Psychology gives us a place to answer philosophical questions with hard, scientific methods. For example, in psychology we can attempt to answer the philosophical question “How does consciousness emerge?” with carefully designed neurological experiments. Furthermore, psychology is a fascinating science because it is completely dedicated to the study of humans. Psychologists try to step away from themselves, from their own humanity, and examine without bias what it means to be human. Just as marine biologists attempt to study and understand marine life, so too do psychologists attempt to study and understand humans. This is one of the reasons that psychology is so popular. After all, who doesn't like to learn about themselves?
