How do you get better at writing?

Unfortunately, there isn't a magic book or video to watch that'll make a person an amazing writer (trust me, I've looked). It takes practice and dedication, and a mind that's open to changing how it thinks about writing as a whole.

What exactly is psychology?

If you need the answer to pass the AP Psychology test, the answer is : the scientific study of behavior and the mental process. However, it's so much more than that. Psychology is the fun, interesting side where it shows you what and why certain things elicit incredible reactions, and the deeply curious side of how the brain works to process these results. Psychology is the study of diseases that exist in the brain, and the study of our minds and behaviors from the day we're born till the day we close our eyes for the last time.

How do you know when someone is using a logical fallacy?

To make it short and simple...you have to always keep one eye open! They come in all sorts of ways, made to trip up the listener or reader. You have to make sure you read closely, and that you always keep in mind if your source may have a reason to throw a fallacy at you in the first place.
