"The Chronic health effects may result from exposure to low doses of pesticides over time. Even extremely low doses of pesticides, particularly during fetal development and childhood infacia are related to cancer, birth defects, developmental delays, asthma and Parkinson's disease. "

" effects are synergistic when one + one = much more than two, because the effect of the second chemical amplifies the effect of the first chemical (chemical cocktail effect). "

General Psychology, Jesus Rene Luna Hernandez

Hello!

Welcome to my blog dedicated to the General Psychology course I teach this semester (January-July 2009) at the Autonomous University of Ciudad Juárez ( http://www.uacj.mx/ ), where I will introduce the main terms, background and perspectives on psychology, according to two perspectives:

a) the traditional, where we review the history and development of psychology according to what they say most of the manuals and classic texts that respond to the fundamental idea that psychology is a scientific discipline exactly 120 years, and a source geographically located in Germany and the United States.

b) the Review, based on a more skeptical and cuestionante power structures to which it has served psychology, establishing connections and unearthing the origins of psychology in the Cartesian and Kantian thinking, seeking to establish in psychology the approach advocated by Nietzsche (predecessor of Freudian thought ) and Foucault .

In this blog I will distribute material that I can supplement what we see in class. I invite you to explore and make use of multimedia materials that are "hung" here.

By the way, I will update the blog regularly, so I suggest you visit it at least once a week to take advantage of new features.

Like something introductory course, I propose to activate the following video , which is about one of the most popular approaches Current Psychology: Positive Psychology. This clip was spent in a program called NETWORK, aired on English TV Channel 2.




This video is available YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFiTGm2BB9I

And not all visual spectacle, it also put at your disposal, hypertext links to various documents choke thus accessible for to read before coming to class (well, I hope).

To begin, I invite you to visit the following website:

which has been provided by the UNED, namely the National University of Distance Education in Spain, one of the few universities that really, and seriously, offer courses at undergraduate and postgraduate level in diverse areas, including psychology.

NOTE: Later we will examine the very touchy subject of the famous universities DUCKLING, in order to avoid falling into their networks and temptations. For now, a good guide on the subject will find in http://firgoa.usc.es/drupal/node/28512
