Because Akon was taught to listen to his dad and play multiple instruments at a time, he now has a hard time with his social life.

Neurotransmitters in Akon's brain was making him depressed and now after a lot of counseling he is doing better and on medication.

Akon thinks to be a better singer that he has to move his way up and sing with better and better artists and this makes him believe that people will love his music more.

Akon keeps getting into the news because of when he gets depressed and makes stupid moves (for example: dances at a club with a 15 year old, hurts people, etc...) that ends him up in jail.

  1. You're only explaining behaviors here - not HOW THEY CAN BE EXPLAINED BY EACH OF PSYCHOLOGY'S PERSPECTIVES for psychodynamic and the behavioral perspectives. Check your notes, your reading packet, and revisit this. Let me know when you've done so and I'll take a look at it again (or you could come in during ELT or afterschool and ask for a little help.)
