Some thoughts of the Social Psychology

The lecture five, which is a self-learning lecture during the National Day Holiday, is about the Social Psychology. What is Social Psychology? It is a portion of psychology but study how human beings influence and communicate with each other particularly.  

In my opinion, I cannot agree more with the concept that human are born to be social. It means that human have the ability to communicate with the environment even when they are infants. For example, when a baby boy is hungry, he will express his feeling by crying in order to attract his parents’ attention. Another example is, a girl who was brought up by a wolf turned out to live like a wolf when she grew up in 1970s, which shows that human can interact with the environment even he is just a baby.

Furthermore, the way that human communicate with each other may be affected by the development of the technology. The lecture five refers to the topic about the SEC and indicates that the way people grasp knowledge has been changed by the online social network and the media. I think it is the truth because nowadays people can get the answers by the machine directly like the calculator and computer instead of gaining them by people. The three types of social Interactions in online world include human-to-human (OSNs), human-to-machine (cloud computing) and machine-to-machine (multimedia).  It is no doubt that the OSNs help humans grasp knowledge more efficiently. However, if the artificial intelligent appears in the future, the way for human beings to get knowledge may be more efficiently than nowadays.
