Emotions and culture

When comparing two of the same movies from two different countries its very interesting to see how the cultures of each country reflect in similar scenes of the films. In both the U.S version and the Japanese version the countries cultures were both similar and different in many ways.

Music has been a part of society for centuries and can be found in every known culture. Isidore of Seville discusses music in The Etymologies, where he also refers to the myth of Orpheus and his lyre. Several texts, including Etymologies, the Ovidian myth, and the Middle-English Sir Orfeo, allude to the power of music and its ability to influence one’s emotions. However, it is important to understand that one’s emotion is determined based on their own interpretation of music. In another text The…

Taming Nativity The excerpt, “Wild tongues can’t be tamed, they can only be cut out,” from the essay, “How to Tame a Wild Tongue,” by Gloria Anzaldua helps convey the idea of how American cultural imperialism forces Chicanos to abandon their culture and heritage and assimilate into the American way of life.

Growing up with my father as a disk jockey, I remember falling asleep and waking up to reggae, calypso and soca music. Summers, Christmases and a year spent in school on an island, I began to adapt its social culture from a young age.

While other organisms do feel emotion, we stand alone in the way we express ourselves. Alongside that is our unique sense of “good” and “evil”. Humans have a concept of what is right and what is wrong, and this is often called our conscience. In this area, we are again completely unique.
