My career

I’m studying psychology because I like to work with people, to be involved with others and train to make their life better. Psychologists contribute to society trying to help people when they feel that their behaviors are not the best, or when they don’t feel comfortable with their thoughts and emotions. In the future I’m going to need to have a better curriculum, because a psychologist needs to be getting better every day, because this discipline it’s in continuous expanding, so you have to study more to obtain more degrees. In this era, any professional has to do a magister or a PhD in some specific areas of there discipline.
My favorite subject in psychology, at this moment because it can change, is psychopathology because this covers an area very interesting, about the personality disorders and there treatment. But the subject that I thing that makes a difference with the others careers, is the continuous questioning about the “normality”, and how we conceive the human being. In particular, this last sentence about how is conceived the “humanity” is the real deal in psychology. You have to understand that are many points of view in the career that are not complementary. So, every point of view it’s a political manifestation of power. Neutrality doesn’t exist in science. Are we a science? Or just a political instrument that adapts people better to the capitalist system? Promote dissidence or adaption?
