April: Explanations

Through the April topic of explanations, we want to address questions that offer explanations of human behavior: What role does psychology play as an explanation of human behavior? What role does evolution play in answering this question? What roles do nature and nurture play? Does one outweigh the other?

May: The Self

Through the May topic of the self, we want to address questions like the following: In terms of consciousness, what effects does mental health have? What effects do drugs have on consciousness? How does creativity affect consciousness? How does learning? In terms of identity, how important is the image we create of ourselves? Does your identity include identifiable and concrete character traits? Do values significantly contribute to your identity? In terms of life purpose, how important is your career? Ambition? Have you left your proverbial bubble to discover something new?

June: Relationships

Through the June topic of relationships, we want to address questions like the following: What roles do friendship and companionship play in your life? What is love to you? What is your take on sexuality? How does the modern institution of marriage relate to friendship, love, and sexuality? What family values did your parents or guardians impress upon you if any, and if you want a family of your own do you want to impart these values on your family or different ones?
