Psychology Question...

well if i would have the right to make another option then i would choose for "none of them".well but since it is compulsory to choose any one of your options then i would go for losing my hearing.that is because not hearing to some one will not make me loose much, also nowadays people always speak rubbish so it is better to not hear them. for the other two senses i don't want to loose them because then i can not be able to spend my precious moment with the people i care for the most , i will not be able to see my dear sister again and i wont be able to touch my beloved. And as far as loosing my hearing aid , i can always understand thing by reading to what people want to say to me .

I think this is a matter that is personal to the individual. I personally would choose touch. Touch is a wonderful thing when wanting to what things feel like and of course definitely comes in handy if your leaning against a burning stove, but could not give you what hearing and sight can give. To give an example, my little girl born less than 2 months ago I can touch/hold her all I want but I could not ask for more than to see her beautiful face or hear her laugh or cry. So touch to me is something I could give up.

hmm...good question. I would say touch. When you lose the ability to lose a sense, it enhances your other senses. If you cannot feel something, you can still hear it and see it. And if you once had a sense of touch, then you can almost relive that through your other senses. Besides, if you lose your sense of touch, wouldnt you also eliminate the ability to feel pain as well? That could be a good thing or a bad thing I think. And why do pych professors always ask questions like that anyway? LOL

I really wonder more members preferring to lose touch.I go against it.Without feeling anything,life would be very hard to lead.Without sight,we can feel the world in so many ways.Without hearing we can still mange to lipread others.Even I don't like to miss any of the sensations,if it is compulsory,I will try without hearing.But I am afraid to imagine it,even.Cheers!

I think the easiest one to give up would be touch. Not to be able to see the beautiful sights of this world or to hear the beautiful sounds of this world would be alot harder for me personally. Life without hearing music would be hard unless of course I was born that way and had never heard it. The same goes for seeing. If you are born that way you don't know what you are missing. That would be different for all of us.

It's an interesting question, to say the least. For one, is quite difficult to answer it coming from a perspective of loss; it's hard to imagine how it is to lose a specific sensory medium. Probably one would answer from the perspective of use, or at least from conscious use. For example, if you're someone who likes to write and is more inclined to read about the world, then obviously sight would be the last one to go given the choice. This will be the same for all the other options, making it an individual and very personal choice. For me, I think I'd rather forego hearing than losing my sense of touch and sight. Though I like music and I'm inclined to musical endeavors, I'd be willing to lose it in exchange for sight and touch.
