Evolution of the modern psychology Psychology plays a very critical role in making individuals believe in particular ideas or perceptions. In light of this, many philosophers came up with different theories that attempts to convince the masses about various concerns and beliefs in the societies. Some of the major concerns in the society include the formation of the earth and all that it contains and the relationship between the other objects and the people. Also, it is a concern among people about the existence of God and whether humans are immortal or the concern of life after death.
