Unit Wrap Up Unit Eight

From this unit I learned of the physiology of hunger, what causes it and how it can be different for everyone due to their body chemistry. I learned about the psychology of sex how explicit materials may lead people to perceive their partners as comparatively less appealing and to devalue their relationships.

I learned about a persons sexual orientation, how it is neither willfully chosen nor willfully changed.
Evidence links sexual orientation with genetic influences, prenatal hormones, and certain brain structures,

Regarding sex and human values I learned that our need to belong and to feel loved is only natural.
I learned that expressing anger can actually make us angrier.

I also learned of happiness how a good mood boosts people's perception of the world and their willingness to help others.
