Emotion in animals

As emotion and reason cooperate? Although the reason and emotions can be perceived as absolutely opposite human characteristics, they are actually very closely related. These two features affect each other, and somehow help shape each other. The reason is often associated with the brain, while the emotions are connected more with the heart. The reason comes from the logic of the human, reasonable things, things that make sense in the mind of man, the things that are logical. Emotions, on the…

The extended essay’s research question: To what extent does childhood attachment affect the formation of adult love relationships? Humans are social animals with a basic need to belong. In order to belong among others, one needs to create social and emotional bonds with others. During childhood, the social, emotional, and cognitive development is essential for further development of a personality and the ability to connect with others. Children need to form an attachment pattern in order to…

within each level of the hierarchy (Albrecht). Ultimately, these fears, that are linked to many other emotions and that every person shares with one another, have the ability to prompt a decision, sometimes irrational, as well as motivate to maintain…

From the very beginning, the text indicates its historical context by stating things such as, “In 1820, only a few miles away from what is not the great city of Cincinnati.” This indicates that this took place many years ago in an indefinite area of that time. One of the biggest things that wouldn’t fit in a different time period is the region in which people are “sparsely” spread about. Now a day you really wouldn’t see that as much. Back then though it was pretty common.The story had a lot of…

from The Norton Reader, George Orwell explains his personal experience in an imperialistic county where he feels as though he is forced to shoot an elephant that had escaped into a town killing a man. His thoughts were not set on killing the wild animal but under circumstances, Orwell felt as though he would be seen as a fool to the natives if he did not live up to the expectation of the natives to kill the elephant. Once Orwell shot the elephant he had to watch as it lay slowly dying, seemingly…

the specific words that she uses. Olds creatively practices these tools when she changes the construction of the language about half way through the poem. The beginning of the poem is written from the perspective of a child, allowing different emotions expressed to be more easily depicted and understood. Words such as “we were glad” make it clear that both the mother and child were happy about the circumstances (line 1). Later on the readers find out just how happy the characters are when the…

In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, technology is used to shape what is described to be a utopia- a place without war, bloodshed, or social instability. However, this utopia is false, a sham of a society that oppresses its citizens while claiming it is for the people’s own good. A social caste that is engineered and impressed upon every individual from birth exists to keep people in place. Technology is twisted and warped as a dastardly effective tool in molding and suppressing the populace of…

In the late twentieth century, one serious flaw in several older versions of the theory came to light. Since negative emotions like fear, disgust, and anger are also reactions to what violates our mental patterns and expectations the mere perception of incongruity is not sufficient for humour. Other aesthetic categories, too, involve a non-humorous enjoyment of some violation of our mental patterns and expectations: the grotesque, the macabre, the horrible, the bizarre, and the fantastic. So,…

are other situations in which grieving is necessary in order to move forward. According to Axelrod, “Mourning occurs in response to an individual’s own terminal illness, the loss of a close relationship, or to the death of a valued being, human or animal (Axelrod, 2014).” The grieving process does not have a time limit. Every individual responds to loss differently, and some require more…

Emotions: The Keys to Fulfillment and Well-Being Helen Keller once said: “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.” It is a very abstract quote, but one I have no doubt in my mind that she is talking about emotions. It seems, when faced with emotions, people generally have one or two reactions, that they must be restrained and suppressed in some way, or that they should be recognized as a vital aspect to our species. I…
