What is Psychology?

"There are two things which are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."
- Albert Einstein

There's a lot of opinions when it comes to the term psychology. From as simple as the human behavior to as complex as the human mind. To be frank, psychology is the scientific study of behavior and mental processes. Behavior consists of external responses such as action and reaction, while mental processes consists of internal responses such as our brain's activity.Psychology goals are not other then the following keywords: description, explanation, prediction and control. A simple example is a situation where a baby is crying. The description is what is happening. The explanation is why is the baby crying. The prediction is when will the baby cry again. Lastly, the control is how can the crying be stopped or started again.
