Psychology is the scientific study of human and animal behavior. It is made of theories and
             tries to prove why we behave the way we do, our mental processes, our emotions, and our
             actions. In this writing assignment I will discuss why some people choose to behave so

             inhibits appetite and the need for sleep, and provides intense feelings of pleasure.
             Cocaine's short-term effects appear soon after a single dose. Marijuana is usually smoked
             as a cigarette or in a pipe or a bong. If you have a job a...
