Discuss the ways in which the understanding of biology has affected and continues to affect the practice of psychology today. What are the advantages and controversies surrounding this understanding?
Include at least three everyday examples that you have observed. Try to avoid being too general or providing “just common sense” examples which anybody might know without taking this course. Link the everyday examples to concepts from your assigned readings to date. For each example, provide media content (video web links, charts or graphs etc.) to further illustrate your point.
