Journal 1

From the lesson self-concept, I had more understanding about who I am. Our lecturer,

Miss Pang had formed us into a small group of 6 people. We had discussed that the

characteristic of ourselves. From this activity, I had realised that the people in society

had divided into individual group based on the same characteristics such as outgoing,

bookworm, childish or others. Besides that, I also knew more about my personal trait.

This is because I had never thought about myself before. Through this lesson, I knew

myself more. I also learnt that our self of sense was central to our lives. So, I am the

main character in my world. I not need care so much what the others people think and

talk about me.

Journal 2

Today, I had learnt the topic ‘Ethics in Psychology’. I had learnt that the researchers

must have ethic limit when using animal to do some experiment. The researchers must

have love and compassion. They cannot kill a life easily. They cannot thought that

their behaviour was right because they were discovered treatment or medical that was

useful to our world. For me, this thinking was wrong. Besides that, Miss Pang also

gave us a class experiment. The purpose of the experiment was to test the shyness of

us. The higher the scores, we were more shy. For me, it was funny but a little bit

forbid. This experiment make our class become lively otherwise this lesson will be

boring.

Journal 3

From this lesson, I had learnt the vision. The definition of vision is the detection of

light. We saw the light through the eyes. I had learnt the part of the eyes through this

lesson. The most special part of the eye was iris. It was a coloured structure on the

surface of the eye that surrounding the pupil. With this structure, we could identify the

colour of the eye such as brown, purple and others. We could saw beautiful things and

many colours through our eyes. Eyes was very important and we had to protect it

carefully. Otherwise it will had some diseases that maybe cause the eyes become

blind. I also learnt the effect of the colour. I just realised that red colour was the

sharpest and it use for attract other people’s attention. KFC, Big Mac, Pizza also used

red colour as decoration to attract the attention.
