Discuss about Intelligence, Meaning, Addiction with some personal or daily life examples. This question belongs to General psychology.

(A)Intelligence: Intelligence is the ability to think, to learn from experience, to solve problems, and to adapt to new situations. Psychologists believe that there is a construct, known as general intelligence, that accounts for the overall differences in intelligence among people.

Example: I suggested a friend how to make money by approaching him to one of the businessmen in our society. This shows my intelligence in terms of problem solving.

(B)Meaning of Psychology: It is the science of mind and behavior & the study of mind and behavior in relation to a particular field of knowledge or activity.

Example: When I express my emotions to my parents, this indicates that I am utilizing psychological aspects and meanings in my life.

(C)Addiction: Addiction is a complex condition, a brain disease that is manifested by compulsive substance use despite harmful consequence. People with addiction (severe substance use disorder) have an intense focus on using a certain substance(s), such as alcohol or drugs, to the point that it takes over their life.

Example: I was earlier addicted to nicotine. Later with practice and therapy, I was able to get rid of it.
