There are a bevy of popular opinions when it comes to human behavior and psychology. As you learned in Module 1, a scientific attitude requires that we use
curiosity, skepticism, and humility when we are faced with psychological questions. Said differently, a scientific approach to psychology requires critical
thinking. For this discussion board post, you are to choose two of the popular opinions below: one concerning the brain and the other concerning
consciousness. Pick opinions that you find personally intriguing, or maybe even ones that you have heard or thought!
Using what you have learned through course material (text, video content, online lab content) and/or (optional) bringing in outside sources you have read or
find, write a post defending your position on the scientific merit of the opinions (“based on what you have learned and read, is this opinion fact, fiction,
or somewhere in between. What is your evidence?”)
