You have learned much about human behavior in this class so far. Looking at different topics and concepts covered, in an essay, identify two concepts that are important to you because they helped you understand something in your life. For each topic, make sure you cover the following.

• Describe the concept (e.g., you might explain what phobias are and how they can be classically conditioned).
• Use an example or examples from your own life to explain why the concept is important to you (e.g., describe a specific example(s) from your own life- this could be a phobia you have or a phobia someone you know has).
