Emotion




The word emotion includes a wide range of visible behavior, expressed feelings, and changes in the body state. We are experiencing the emotion and we can feel the emotions. Emotions are very complex to express them; we use a variety of terms, besides gestures and attitudes. The words are limited to express the feeling. Therefore, the words to describe emotions are quite condensed, so emotion allows people to share them.
If we do not have emotions, we would lose all the charm of living. Even dogs and cats have emotions. We have emotions because they make us to enjoy our life. They make us human. I cannot imagine that we do not have emotions. If we lose the emotion, it would be a like computer, because our computer is just sitting and being a perfect machine. It just think, store stuff and give results. Therefore, if we have no emotion, it is only an intelligent machine. We have emotions, because we are not low-level animals.  


I found the four theories of emotions, which is James-Lange theory, Cannon-Bard theorySchacter-Singer theory and most recently the Lazarus theory. 


The James-Lange Theory, this theory proposes that an event or stimulus cause a physiological stimulation without any conscious thought, and you experience the resulting only after you interpret the physical response.
The Cannon-Bard Theory suggests that the given stimulus evokes both a physiological and an emotion response. The Schacter-Singer Theory takes a more cognitive approach to the issue. Schacter and Singer believe that an event causes physiological arousal, but they you must identify a reason for the arousal before you label the emotion. The last theory is the Lazarus Theory proposes that when the event occurs, a cognitive consideration is made, and based on the result of the consideration, an emotion and physiological response follow.
