The spiral

“The spiral in psychology means that when you make a spiral you always come over the same point where you have been before, but never really the same, it is above or below, inside, outside, so it means growth.” 

My English textbook gave this story. I was really moved. I think that all things, e.g. businesses, studying English, thinking of something, and human life are like this spiral and it means growth. l want to spend my life like that.


1. Do you agree that the spiral is a fascinating shape?

Yes, I agree that the spiral is a fascinating shape. The greatest part that l think is that it means growth. I was really moved about it.  I think that all things, for example, businesses, studying English, thinking of something, and human life are like this spiral and it means growth. l want to spend my life like that.

In the article, there were many examples of the spiral that it is in the whorl of our fingerprints, a snail’s shell, in the double helix of our DNA, the eye of a hurricane, in the path of draining water, and winds through the heart of our galaxy.

2. Do you think it is better for architecture to have simple or complicated designs?

I think it is better for architecture to have simple designs. It's because it is really difficult to remove something that is an unnecessary thing. We have a lot of things that we never use always somehow. Simple makes me comfortable, and understand something easily. 

 3. Do you think it is a good idea to have gardens on a skyscraper?

Yes, I think it is a good idea to have gardens on a skyscraper. It is because to see only concrete is inorganic and mechanical. To be able to see something green is better not only from the outside but also in the buildings.  

4. Do you think it is important for scientists to study space? 

Yes, I think it is important for scientists to study space. It is because one day, people might have to live there, and studying space gives us a big dream that we might know about what we don't know now completely.  

5. Where would you rather live, in a skyscraper or in a small building? 

I would rather live in a skyscraper. It is because I like to see views from high places. The usual city looks so beautiful somehow. 

 6. Do you think you would like a job as a psychologist? 

I don't think I would like a job as a psychologist, though, I like to read books about psychology. 

It is really interesting in thinking about the human mind and its functions, especially how those affect our behavior.
