Aspects of Pyschology

Today the world has a lot of hardships and people need ways to release their frustrations and stressful situations. The things in life that cause these hardships are those things of, everyday life with family, friends, work, school, and home. It is almost as though society is taking another turn, and not in the positive aspect. Most rely on the negative turns to feel the need in between. This is why positive psychology should be influenced and used to help people change their minds about negative thoughts and stressful situations. With the upbringing of positive psychology, this would eliminate bad decisions and criminal acts, also put a cap on the stress of society. Today our nation is under more stress than the time of the Great Depression.

Positive psychology is the study of the conditions and processes of flourished optimal functions of an individual or group of society. Positive Psychology deals with the flourishing aspects of happiness, feelings, and well being. It is a natural study of life, and has three different types of levels that are classified as; the subjective level, the individual level, and the group level. The subjective level deals with the feelings of joy, satisfaction, and well being, it is mainly the level that deals with the self and self gratification, and not if a feeling is good because of right or wrong. The individual level determines the individual to identify the personal strength traits that may appear in things such as the way an individual may talk or present themselves in the manner of virtual strengths and values. The group level basically works with the ways an individual will correspond with society and the way it functions. Things such as civility, tolerance, and work ethics are things that the group level is known for.

Positive psychology would be very interesting to learn because it is the study of how to know and understands ones true intentional feelings. I think that in the case of Positive Psychology you are more prone to see doctors and scientist in this field because they have the better understanding of determining an individual out. In learning about this new type of study I would promote this learning as an idea lifestyle to look at myself before judging others as well as to learn my true emotions about something before jumping into an event.
