Assignment10 - Academic Earth

The Good Life: Happiness



http://academicearth.org/lectures/the-good-life-happiness



Lecture Description
The last lecture in the course wraps up the discussion of clinical psychology with a discussion of treatment efficacy. Does therapy actually work? Professor Bloom summarizes the different types of influences that clinical interventions might have on people who receive therapy.Professor Bloom ends with a review of one of the most interesting research topics in "positive psychology," happiness. What makes us happy? How does happiness vary across person and culture? What is happiness for? Students will hear how the most recent research in psychology attempts to answer these questions and learn how people are surprisingly bad at predicting what will make them happiest.





It's a interesting course for me, which is about psychology. I'm so curious and like to research people's thinking, that could know more about he/her,even could give some help.
This lecture is talking about Happiness that is a strange thing to talk about in psychology, because most of psychology focuses on human misery.

Assignment 8 - an English song ' I Have A Dream'




I have a dream, a song to sing


To help me cope with anything


If you see the wonder of a fairy tale


You can take the future even if you fail


I believe in angels


Something good in everything I see


I believe in angels


When I know the time is right for me


I'll cross the stream - I have a dream



I have a dream, a fantasy


To help me through reality


And my destination makes it worth the while


Pushing through the darkness still another mile


I believe in angels


Something good in everything I see


I believe in angels


When I know the time is right for me


I'll crossed the stream - I have a dream



I have a dream, a song to sing


To help me cope with anything


If you see the wonder of a fairy tale


You can take the future even if you fail


I believe in angels


Something good in everything I see


I believe in angels


When I know the time is right for me


I've crossed the stream - I have a dream


I've crossed the stream - I have a dream
