    The first of these theories is the James Lange Theory. The basic idea of the James Lange Theory is that once an event is processed in our minds, then we feel an emotion that correlates with the event to allow our mind to reason (Myers 464). An example of this theory in the movie Inside Out is when Riley is sitting down having dinner with her family in their new house in California and she has already lost Joy, her driving emotion in life. When she is asked a question by her mother that she would have normally wanted to talk about she sits there quietly for a second processing the question (the arousal). Because Joy is no longer in her head, disgust tries to respond to the question as joy would but comes off very rude and abrasive (the expressive behavior).…

    Being fixated entirely on self interest can easily cloud an individual's ability to empathize. The opposite is also true in that constantly empathizing can allow an individual to neglect themselves and prevent them from bettering themselves. Both of these extremes have the potential to result in prejudicial behaviors. Nonetheless, when self interest and empathy are expressed with the appropriate level of restraint, the result has the capacity to be harmonious and the ability to maximize advantage outcomes. “Too Much Happiness” by Alice Munro, demonstrates how even a glimpse of empathy can result in the betterment of an individual's interests in addition to the subject of their compassion’s.…

    A psychologist named Paul Eckman did a study of universal emotions and found that there is a set of six emotions that are recognized by humans regardless of region, culture, or age. As humans, we express and recognize these emotions (happiness, anger, fear, envy, sadness, and surprise) the same way. “Inside Out” covers five of these six emotions. These emotions let us know when to be empathetic, excited, and even laugh. Thinking back to the humanism perspective and one of the basic assumptions being that humans are born trusting other humans, the movie captures this perfectly by also showing the emotions of Riley’s parents as well.…
