There may also be species typical ways of expressing different emotional states.” It is foolish to expect that animals and other species would react to human music in the same way that humans do. Rather…

We usually see them and just think they are plain ole animals. But what we don’t know is that animals are more like us than we imagined.

Doris Lessing explores the…

Whereas the Cannon-Bard theory defines that an emotional-arousing stimulus simultaneously triggers, physiological responses and subjective experience of emotion. Another theory that was proposed by Stanley Schachter and Jerome Singer called the two-factor theory. It states that the experience emotion one must be physically aroused and cognitively label the…

his strong emotions of helplessness and loathing, Douglass effectively uses metaphor and references to animals to convince abolitionists to sympathize with his situation. Douglass begins his narrative by recounting the instruction from his mistress to teach him how to read and write.
