Document Summary
Levels of analysis: biological, brain, genetics, psychological, emotions, how they think, attitudes, social, look at culture, where they live, environment. *to understand humans we have to put all these three together. Greater than the sum of its part. Multiple determinations of understanding the aspects of humans. Multiple reasons for example low serotonin level, being left out, genetics, how you grew up. {note: social, behavioural, mental, neurological-structure, neurochemical, molecular genetics: to help someone, we have to understand what is the cause and for that it is complex. Eg. anorexia requires a lot of things to happen all at once. Other people around influences what you do. Cultural influence (ethnic and etic study of culture) How you talk to others, what you expect from others. Two ways to study culture: etic, ethic. To understand humans we have to understand how the mind is structure (thinking, feeling is structured in the mind) but he was never able to understand the mind.
