This presentation is about the influences of Culture, our Cognitive Styles, and Problem Solving in a psychological aspect.
This Presentation will be most helpful to the UG Psychology students.
The brain is a highly intricate organ consisting of specialized areas that work together to perform higher cognitive and language related functions. It is made up of two homologous hemispheres held together by the corpus callosum. Each hemisphere consists of four lobes: frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital, and the cerebellum. The arcuate fasciculus transports linguistic information from the back of the brain to the frontal region.
This slide is an overview of Psychoanalytic (also called as psychoanalysis) theory of Sigmund Freud. These slides will discuss the main framework of Sigmund Freud, his believe towards it, his principles and so on. It will also discuss about the three parts of human mind the human psyche. Good Luck!

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. I.B. Learning Outcomes
B11- With reference to relevant research
studies, to what extent does genetic
inheritance influence behavior?
I can explain how much our genes impact our
behavior.
3. Behavioral Genetics
The study of how the both genetics and the
environment contribute to individual variations
in human behavior.
Genes do not cause behavior, they create a
predisposition towards it.
Depression
4. Definition of a Gene
Genes are the working subunits of
DNA. Each gene contains a particular
set of instructions, usually coding for a
particular protein or for a particular
function.
5. Inheritance
Each offspring inherits traits from their
parents.
46 Chromosomes – 23 from Mom, 23 from
Dad
~20,000-25,000 genes
6. Key ideas about Genetics
Genes that we inherit from our parents give
rise to physiological functions which
contribute to physical and behavioral
characteristics.
One Gene does not lead to a behavior, it can
be a building block towards that behavior.
8. Separated Twin Studies
Identical Genetic Make Up
Different Environments
Look for similarities and differences between
monozygotic twins
Nature & Nurture
Is It All In the Genes?
9. Minnesota Twin Study:
Bouchard et al. (1990)
Learning Outcome: B11
Aim: To determine the extent that genetics impact the
behavior.
Method:
Participants: Self-Selected MZ twins reared together
(MZT) and MZ twins that were reared apart (MZA)
Performed 50 hours of interviews, tests, and surveys on
participants.
10. Minnesota Twin Study:
Bouchard et al. (1990) Cont.
Findings:
Intelligence testing showed that 70% of intelligence is
attributed to genetic variation.
Conclusions:
Intelligence among other characteristics are to a large
extent due to genetics
Critical Thinking?
11. 5-HTT Gene
A gene that is responsible for creating
proteins that influence the reuptake of
serotonin
Long-Allele (57% of population)
Short-Allele (43% of population)
12. Caspi et al. (2003)
Learning Outcome: B11
Aim: To determine whether the 5-HTT gene
predicts depression
Method:
Followed a group of adolescents for several years
and measured for stressful events.
When they were 26, they tested them for depression.
13. Caspi et al. (2003)
Findings:
Individuals who had a two short 5-HTT alleles
were more likely to be depressed following
stressful events.
Conclusion:
Genetics can predict the likelihood of
depression in individuals.
Critical Thinking?
14. Levenson (2013)
Aim: To determine the role of the 5-HTT gene in marital
satisfaction
Method: Followed couples since 1989 and surveyed
them on marital satisfaction.
Finding: Individuals with a short 5-HTT allele were
more likely to be unhappy in an unhealthy relationship
or happy in a healthy relationship.
Conclusion: Short Allele = More influenced by
environment.
Critical Thinking?
15. COMT Gene
COMT Gene: A gene that codes for an
enzyme that clears dopamine from the frontal
lobe.
This can impact how you deal with stress.
16. Warrior or Worrier?
Worrier:
Slow Acting Enzyme
No Stress: Higher
cognitive functioning,
attention, and
problem solving.
Stress: Meltdown
Warrior:
Fast Acting Enzyme
No Stress: Underwhelmed
by daily life and a lack of
problem solving &
concentration.
Stress: Concentration &
Problem Solving Sky
Rocket.
17. Chang et al (2009)
Aim: To investigate the role of the COMT Gene in
test performance.
Method:
Took blood samples from thousands of Taiwanese
students about to take their Basic Competency Test.
Performed a genetic test on each student.
Compared the scores for variants of COMT Gene.
18. Chang et al (2009)
Finding: Students with fast acting enzymes
(warriors) performed better than students with
slow acting enzymes (worriers).
Conclusions: The COMT gene impacted the
way that students performed under a stressful
situation.
Critical Thinking?
19. Parasuraman et al (2013)
Aim: To investigate the COMT Gene’s impact on
high stress multitasking.
Method:
99 participants were measured on their ability to
control six drones in an airforce simulation.
Findings:
Participants with the slow action enzyme (Worriers)
destroyed more targets than participants with fast
acting enzymes (warriors).
Conclusion: People with slow acting enzyme
variants were more effective at multitasking
complex tasks,
Critical Thinking?
20. Ethics of Genetic Research
Anonymity and Confidentiality.
Right to know who owns their genetic material and
with whom it will be shared.
Informed Consent
Genetic research could potentially be a risk to the
participants if misused.
Genetic Research can reveal information that is
unexpected or a source of distress (Learning that
you are predisposed to depression can lead to
depression)
21. Discussion Questions
Should the military, colleges, police forces, etc.
use genetic testing to help judge applicants?
Is it ethical to use genetics in determining who can
become a drone pilot or another job?
Do you want a genetic test? Why or why not?
To what extent do our genes impact our behavior?
