Psychology has a big part to play in day to day life in society. even if you never think about it you are always using it, like when you have to tell if someone is lying to you or deceiving you. My article states, “Psychology is all around you and touches on every aspect of your life. Who you are now, how you will be in the future, how you interact with family, friends, and strangers; these are all things that psychology can help you better understand.”(Cherry).

This article can help us to better understand what is going through our protagonists mind during the short story “The Most Dangerous Game”. For example through the story but mostly towards the end Rainsford had to be in the mind of general Zaroff and use psychology in order to understand how he thinks so he can predict his next move.

Using what I have learned fro both the article and the Short story I was able to conclude that psychology is extremely helpful in day to day life wether it is putting puzzle peace’s together to figure out wether someone is trustworthy or not or just getting a good deal in bartering over something. Everybody should study psychology because we all use it and it is everywhere around us.
