Chapter 10 is about the Behavioral Science domain within Social Studies. Behavioral Science covers psychology, sociology, and anthropology. Anthropology is the study of culture and religion. Sociology is the study of communities and how people interact. Psychology is the study of behavior of people as well as how people think. All three of these topics are closely related and can be easily mixed up. Behavioral science is often tied in with geography. Students would study about a certain location or city but they would also study the people that live within that city. I have never taken a behavioral science class, however in my geography and history classes we would study the culture of people. I think behavioral science domains are very interesting and they should be taught early on. Studying how people behave relates to many factors of life such as marketing for businesses, why people live where they do, and why people act the way they do.

Great post!! I really like that you mention the tie between geography and sociology/behavioral science. It makes perfect sense I just never thought about the two together. I have taken a lot of sociology classes and I guess it is what made me appreciate geography more.
