Answer 1

Introduction

I have research experience in master degree; my thesis was titled (A Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Study on Intra-Subject Variability and Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder-Related States in Adults). In summary, I have learned so many things, and research and work experience helped me for making me a better candidate in clinical psychology. I have learned that the voluntary control of behavior is engendered through an appropriation by the child of accumulated cultural instruments in knowledge, language and behavior produced by human over time. When going to make use of indirect means, as tools and signs, and acquires the skills necessary cultural, she develops the ability to curb the immediate satisfaction of their impulses and needs and to delay immediate reactions to outside, and gives the first steps in the transition to complex intellectual behavior.

The development begins, therefore, with the use of the more primitives of involuntary character. Subsequently, the child goes through phase training, and it was a natural process becomes a cultural process, by a number of external devices. Finally, these devices are neglected and the individual starts using its processes neuropsychological as techniques to achieve certain purposes. Thus, for psychology cultural historic, the biological factor determines the innate reactions of the individual and it is on this basis that is all system acquired reactions. Previous study shows that the child begins its life in a world full of objects created by generations earlier, and is the appropriation of knowledge accumulated condensate these objects, which ensures the development of skills especially human.

I have come to know that how would occur the internalization process of care and voluntary control of behavior (or will) in a society where there is a huge gap between the wealth produced by mankind, and possibilities of appropriation of this wealth for all individuals? The higher mental functions are condensed in objectifications of mankind and develop to the extent that the individual's activity contained in such material and spiritual objectifications, incorporating into their "inorganic body" (Marx, 2004). If the vast majority of humanity only has access to this activity "within limits miserable", it follows that a partial appropriation is consequently a limited development of higher psychological functions. When referring to what hinders the full development of all men, the Marxist philosopher Markus (1974) discusses the processes of alienation in class society. The sale is understood here as the non-fulfillment, the lives of individuals, the achievements already made historically by genre human.

The processes of alienation in capitalist society cause a break between, on the one hand, the enormous development potential, opted by man, and on the other, poverty and narrow the development that, although in varying degrees, is "the part that fits the specific men." This is because, in a capitalist society, not just material goods are private property of a minority, but also the spiritual, as systematized knowledge. And add yet more patterns prepared to conduct and behavior.

When discussing the formation of human behavior, I must keep in mind that this is historical ...
