Emotion in animals

excitement that most feel when seeing someone die in the movie. I agree with King’s arguments about humanity’s attraction to horror. Human beings are animals. For so much of our lives, it is preached that we are above all other creatures. We use our attachment to religion, creations stories, and emotions to set ourselves about the rest of the animal kingdom. We are bound by natural law and, to a certain extent, animalistic instinct. In several ways, we can do things better than the average…

The Detriment of Survival Instincts in Surviving Society Heavy breathing and a rapid heart rate, ready to run or, perhaps, attack, like a wild animal. Only, humans don’t need to be raised in the wilderness to act in such a manner. After all, when society places pressure on its population, the more prevalent survival-like traits become, which show up in the form of fear, greed and violence. When people are placed in difficult situations they retreat and stop thinking rationally, letting their…

how long ago it was we last visited we can always forget something about the animals that live this world with us. Going to the zoo can remind us that we are creatures just like these animals, but also remind us that we are so much more than just animals. Our lives on the surface seem so much more complex than the primates around us, however if we could take the time to observe the lives and the emotions of the animals around us then maybe we can learn who they are, and maybe who we are. The…

classrooms across the world. There are various ways of telling this chilling tale and for the most part, it is presented in a factual, history book-type lesson. This can be interesting and beneficial; however it leaves human emotion out of the story and with so many emotions involved refusing to convey them would only be telling part of the story. For this reason, it is important to present it in different formats. In Art Spielgelman’s novel…

be so caught up with their lives that they rarely take time to reflect on the beauty of nature that surrounds them. Nature plays a major role in each person’s life. Some people live their lives in fear of particular elements of nature, such as the animals and natural disasters. Although there can be harmful effects from an individual getting too close to nature, having a strong connection to nature can benefit mankind by promoting a person’s understanding of self and by giving society a better…

in Recognizing Emotions There was a TV show that was broadcast from 2009-2011 called Lie to Me. In this show was a man named Cal Lightman who used his knowledge of body language and facial expressions to read people’s body language. The premise of Lie to Me is based on Paul Ekman and his studies on microexpressions (“Lie to Me”). A microexpression “is a brief, involuntary facial expression shown on the face of humans according to emotions experienced” (“Microexpression”). All emotions have a…

These include (1) anxiety, a sense of apprehension, and the anticipation of physical harm; (2) fear, a stronger form of uneasiness, often felt in the presence of the threat itself; and (3) anger, an outward directed destructive impulse. These emotions, accompanied by neuroendocrine and physiological reactions, motivate adaptive behaviours during threatening circumstances. A primary constituent of all fight-flight situations is that the organism has limited control over the outcome: It is not…

The artist used an very common animal, something that most people will relate to, they have either seen it in person, or at least know of its existence. The picture shows half of the elephant flying away in dust, symbolizing how close to extinction they are, and how much of the earth is polluted. This picture is trying to bring up emotions like anxiety, sadness and stress to the average person, trying to stir up the people’s feeling…

does it have to capture every audience. Just because my work does not intrigue every reader that should not discourage my writing ability to capturing events on paper exposing the different shades of emotions that happen naturally in life. My portfolio glides the reader through a series of emotions that every human faces at some point in their lives, starting with fear through the survival essay, then the lack of appreciation from a job that consumes the better part of the day, to the gruesome…
