Psychology Final Exam

[Spiegs1106]

I have this take home essay for my final. It is worth 40% of the final. I was wondering if anyone could help me out, its an interesting topic.

This spring we have studied "Intelligence and mental abilities" "Psychological Disorders" "Personality developement" and "Motivation and emotion" From these four areas, pick a topic that particularly interestes you. For example, you might choose a particular mental illness, an aspect of social incluence of aptitude (inherent ability, as for learning; a talent) such as rasism

Find a song that you think illustrates this topic. Print out the lyrics and then write an essay (500 word min) that analyzes how this song adressed your topic. Select specific parts of the song that shows how the songwriter highlights certian themes and ideas about the topic.

I think this is a really cool assignment, but I cant think of any good songs. I was wondering if anyone could help me out and tell me some songs that might match the critera.

Regards, Patrick

Isn't the idea of a Final Exam to have you do it on your own?


HS or College? If it's college, you get out very, very late.

Personality Development.
Stacy's Mom - Fountains of Wayne.
Cat's in the Cradle - Harry Chapin


I don't know if paranoia can be classified as a type of psychological disorder... In that case I would use
99 red balloons by either Goldfinger or Nena (original artist)
Guilty Concience - Eminem
The Freshman - Verve Pipe
Creep - Radiohead
Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
Suicide Solution - Ozzy Osbourne


Motivation:
Sunday Bloody Sunday - U2
Come Sail Away - Styx
Don't Stop Believing - Journey

Look up the lyrics yourself, that's all I can think of at the moment.
