United States (U.S.) Supreme Court Information & Facts The Supreme Court of the United States is the highest judicial body in the United States, and leads the federal judiciary. It consists of the Chief Justice of the United States and eight Associate Justices, who are nominated by the President and confirmed with the "advice and consent" (majority vote) of the Senate. Once appointed, Justices effectively have life tenure, serving "during good behavior", which terminates only upon death, resignation, retirement, or conviction on impeachment. The Court meets in Washington, D.C. in the United States Supreme Court building. The Supreme Court is primarily an appellate court, but it has original jurisdiction over a small range of cases.

CHAPTER 1 QUESTIONS 1. What was the Neolithic Revolution? What was impact of the Neolithic Revolution on humans? The Neolithic Revolution is the period in which agricultural societies began to develop. It originated from the middle east around 10,000 B.C.E. and spread throughout Europe, India, and North Africa. During this period humans were able to become permanently settled due to the increase of economic production and agricultural reforms. This allowed humans to increase in population and expand society. The early humans of the Neolithic age also came in contact of metalworking by 3000 B.C.E. Metalworking became common throughout Asia, Africa, and Europe, and it aided agricultural and herding societies by allowing advancements in technology.

Humanistic psychology was developed in the 1950s in reaction to both behaviorism and psychoanalysis. By using phenomenology, intersubjectivity, and first-person categories, the humanistic approach sought to glimpse the whole person?not just the fragmented parts of the personality or cognitive functioning. Humanism focused on fundamentally and uniquely human issues, such as individual free will, personal growth, self-actualization, self-identity, death, aloneness, freedom, and meaning.

German physician Wilhelm Wundt is credited with introducing psychological discovery into a laboratory setting. Known as the "father of experimental psychology", he founded the first psychological laboratory, at Leipzig University, in 1879. Wundt focused on breaking down mental processes into the most basic components, motivated in part by an analogy to recent advances in chemistry, and its successful investigation of the elements and structure of material. Although Wundt, himself, was not a structuralist, his student Edward Titchener, a major figure in early American psychology, was a structuralist thinker opposed to functionalist approaches.
