The idea of my podcast didn't come to my mind until one day I found a information about how to lose weight. What interets me most is that these information about losing weight is nothing about taking medicines and exercises or be on a diet but some psychological methods. According to what I have found, I concluded several ways that can help to lose weight, and I decided to talk about these methods in my podcast. And my ideal podcast should be like as follows:
1. A intro about my podcast. What will my audiences be heard in the coming several minutes. Also, Have give a recommendation for people who wanna lose weight to listen throughtout the podcast. Tell them they don't need to take too much exercises and medicines.
2. Start to tell my audiences what the methods are. There are five main methods. For each one, I will give it a name and introduce how to implement it.
3. Give a conclusion about this podcast. I'm still not sure how to conclude my podcast. I need to work on it more.

Response to my question
According to what I have found on the internet, it seems that psychology affects many aspects of out daily life. For instance, when you don't feel like your job, psychology can help you know what you should do. Also, it could help you to be more efficient.(Laurie, 2008) Besides, psychology can help us build up strong relationships with other people. It can help us become a good communicator. For students, we could get higher grades if we applied psychology appropriately.(Wagner)
I think these two articles are quite reliable. Although the one on About.com doesn't have a specific time, we can still know that it is no more than four years. The author, Ms. Kendra Van Wagner is a writer specializing in psychology, child development and education. She holds a Bachelor's degree of Science in Psychology. Besides, she has already written different topics of papers about psychology. As a result, what she said was quite reliable. Also, what she has written 0n the internet is the function of psychology, so I think it contains almost no bias.
For the second passage, the situation seems the same. Ms Laurie Pawlik-Kienlen, graduated from University of Alberta, in Edmonton, Canada, has a degree in Education and Psychology. She created and maintain four websites. It shows that how professional she is and make her words credible. I'm not sure whether this website has any bias. She seems to introduce her articals and websites to peoples. I don't know whether it can be considered as bias. Also, most of her work is about couples and marriage. She didn't say much about other aspects. So, I think she might only spcializing in how to apply psychology in marriage and relationships between different genders.

Psychology: Will it help us live better?
As the competition become much fiercer, people now have much more stresses. It has negative influences on many aspects such as the efficiency of work and relation between people. Besides, people's value of the world might be changed.
However, most of the people don't know to use psychology to adjust themselves. As a result, my paper is going to introduce some theories to prove that psychology can help people make them feel better. Besides, I want to encourage people to use psychology more by giving some examples who lives better after applying psychology.
While, I am still thinking some questions about my topic. So, I might keep on editing this post before Thursday. I hope I can develop several excellent questions.
My question is: how psychology applies to our daily life.

Three topics
First of all, I want to talk briefly about psychology, such as its origion and history, how many branches psychology has and how it developed till now. I think to expand a topic, knowing its origion and history is very important. It will help us understand its function. Also, we can make comparisons between the origion and the modern one. We can find out how it changed and why. Besides, we can learn from these changes and make more changes which fits ourselves much better.
Secondly, since there are three main study fields which are Behaviorism, Humanism and existentialism, and Cognitivism, I will talk about each of them and introduce some main people who are related to each fields. Why I choose to write about these fields is that I am really interested in some of the people who make contributions to psychology such as Freud. There theories also interest me a lot. As a result, I want to know more about them by this time. It is a good chance for me.
Finally, I will talk about how psychology influents our daily life. For example, how it can help us live better. Such these appliance will show up on my paper.
In my opinion, the last one is the most important because it relates everyone's life. As we know, many people go consulting with clinical psychologist. Some of them may have too much stress on their job or study. Some of them may fear a stuff because they had terrible experiences with it before. They want to overcome the fear, so they go to talk with psychologists. What I think si that psychology can help not only those who have problems, but everyone. We can try to use it as a protective measure before something bad happen so that we won't have too many problems. That's why I thought the last topic is the most important.

Developed Science and Technology will benefit us
After reading Why Gen Y is Going to Change the Web and Programming: The New Literacy, I start knowing that how older generations things about yonger ones such as people who are around my ages. They may thought we are breaking the rules which they built up for the community. The only reason is that internet is much more developed and it maks our life rich and varied.
There is no doubt that it is a time of internet. Almost all the people using internet everyday, working, playing online games, and looking up latest news. It seems that we don't need to go outside, but only surfing on the internet and we will get whatever we want. Even though you are not in front of your laptop, you can still use your mobile phone to do the same thing. It is really fantasy! I always see some students sitting in the cafe holding mobile phones or carring a laptop with them. I'm sure this phenonmen would never happen 20 years ago. It reflects that how developed our society and country is. As a Computer Science student, I know how programming improved our life. All the software cannot be published if there is no programmer such as Microsoft applications. However, I don't agree that every one should do programming. It is kind of interest. If you asked people who have totally no interest in programming, you were wasting both of your time. In Programming: The New Literacy, I think the author try to show how important programming. However, he might be too extreme. Not all the people are williing to master a programming software. What we are trying to master is the applications designed by the programming software. If we can master those applications, we will be much powerful.
To be honest, there are some disadvantages. For example, there are always some students suring on the internet by their mobile phones in class. It may disturb their study. As a result, parents and teachers should always warn their children to use internet appropriately. As long as people can use it in right time, it will benefit our life.

Topic
It is really hard for me to choose a topic. I have not decided yet until yesterday. There are two choices. One is about my major, Computer Science. Another one is Psychology, which I am taking this semester. For me, I prefer to choose Psychology because it is a field that I have little knowledge. What I have known is from TV series that a person went to a clinical psychologist and lying on a sofa getting help from the doctor with some mental problems. However, I want to know more about Psychology such as who first set up the concept of this subject and how it developed from then on. Also, I want to know how people think about psychology. How can it help our daily life. If possible, I want to talk with a psychologist and make a consultation. Sometimes I feel very tired and I want to relax myself. I think it will be a great experience. Since there are a lot of things that I have never heard before, I want to choose psychology as my topic. I am sure I will have a lot of things to write and talk about.
