How are the goals of Psychology relevant to the Filipino society and society in general?

The Goals of Psychology are describe, explain, predict, control, and modify behavior.  This information about other people and events help you predict what might happen next, and I can control my reaction or make the situation better. If you get to predict what happens next, you will have the opportunity to modify my behavior so that you won’t make the situation worse.  The goals of psychology are relevant in today’s society and to the Filipino community in regards to how we become sensitive to each other’s needs. When we describe and explain what happens to other people, this gives us an opportunity to become sensitive on how we treat them.  In addition, predicting events might actually save lives. For example, when someone exhibits suicidal behavior, we get to save their lives through predicting what might happen next. If we get to save their life, this can modify their behavior because someone showed that they still care about the person despite them being suicidal. A lot can change for the better if we all apply the goals of psychology in terms of how we are sensitive to other people and how we act towards their sensitivities.
