PSY 101 Week 2 Discussion 1 | Assignment Help | Strayer University
Week 2 Discussion
Do you have free will? Or does your
brain chemistry make decisions for you?
This week you’re learning about the
electrochemical reactions that happen every time you think, feel, sense, or
act. So does that mean you are not in charge? Does body chemistry direct your
choices and eliminate your control?
1. Watch the TED-Ed video: How Does Caffeine Keep Us Awake? that explains
the specific ways caffeine affects your mood, alertness, and performance, all
through your nervous system.
2. Then, write a post
offering your opinion: Free will, or brain chemistry? Or is there some way to
reconcile the two?
Support your post with information from
the video or the weekly Webtext. To receive full credit, remember to write 2
posts in the discussion: one original and a response to another student. Your
original should be at least 7 sentences, and your reply should be 4 sentences.
Note - please write more than your
preferences about caffeine. Be sure to answer the question about free will or
brain chemistry. Thanks!
