There are about twenty branches of psychology. Some of them are concentrated on examining the biological stucture of the mind, others are focusing on the observable behavior. All the branches are very wide and revealing. But in my opinion the most interestning subfield of psychology is Cross-cultural psychology. This way of psychology focuses on the similarities and differences in psychological functioning in and across various ethnic groups and cultures.
But as same as in the other subfields the are some advantages and disadvantages. The most important difficulty is in the culture. Different people in the different parts of the world think in the different way. Therefore we can not compare them as the alikely ones. For example in some cultures is normal to teach children to pull out all the stops and reach their destination while in other is normal to say that some of us are more dowered than others. In some parts of the world frequently women ground-floor with men, when in other part of our planet women do not have almost any rights. Those womenfolk have to accept this fact live threir lives in the ordinary way. They event do not dream about education, career and other things like this.
So the most important think for Cross-cultural psychologists is to take in mind the differences between cultures and then would bee easier to understand the psychology of those people.
