About the Course

What are people most afraid of? What do our dreams mean? Are we natural-born racists? What makes us happy? What are the causes and cures of mental illness?

The course included all the topics that one needs to know about when getting an introduction to psychology. Yet, no section was only briefly mentioned without a detailed explanation.
