I Was The Most Important Part Of It

One of the best defences put forth by Solomon to explain that emotions are rational is that emotions changes in regard to new information, and as a persons opinions change regarding a situation8, which are often fluid and unfixed. Therefore, according to Solomon, because emotions can be changed by an individual, they are rational. Furthermore, Solomon points out that one cannot experience the feeling of anger without choosing to be angry. (He does however, make a concession to being able to pretend to experience a feeling). To further explain how emotions are rational, Solomon argues that we can have incorrect emotions, just like we can have incorrect actions. Solomon writes “it is possible and not unusual to misidentify what one is angry about.”9 Like choosing an incorrect social action (a faux pas at social gathering), one can choose the incorrect emotion for the situation, such as feeling angry towards someone in a setting due to an inconvenience, when politeness would work better, or misinterpreting friendliness for attraction.

“What’s done cannot be undone.” (V, i, 59-60). I cannot go back and undo what I did. Everything I did to make my husband a king has lead him to do something so vile and evil. I did this to him so therefore I have to

Attempts to define “emotion” have proved to be rather difficult. Instead of searching for a comprehensive definition, Gross (2011) describes the three core features of emotions. First, emotions occur when an individual decides that a situation is relevant to his or her goals. Second, emotions are multi-faceted, and involve both subjective and physiological experiences, as well as behaviors. The third feature involves the authoritative nature of emotions. They have the powerful ability to interrupt ongoing processes, assert their priority over other activities, and force their way into awareness. For example, some traditions describe emotions as “disorganized interruptions of mental activity” (Salovey & Mayer, 1989). Emotions are such an

Emotions are often thought to be personal. One may say “I am sad.” or “I am mad.” or I am scared.” and frequently we believe those emotions are inhabiting just the body in which they were created.

Rhetorical Analysis: This being the first paper I wrote for you, it turned out to be utter garbage. This was my worst essay because I was overconfident in my own writing ability and didn’t think I had much room to improve on. At the time I felt like it was a top notch essay, but I have recently gone back and reread it only to notice it as choppy and stale to read. Then the paper was riddled with comma splices, even after you did a lesson going over how to fix them. It wasn’t out of spite that I kept repeating these mistakes, but instead it was just ignorance on the matter. It was my goal coming out of that essay to fix those errors and while not perfect, I feel I have improved in my awareness of the problem. This paper taught me a great deal on how to think more critically about situations. This new mindset directly came into play in the second essay. I learned my greatest lesson from this paper. I have so much room for improvement. Now that I can see more of my errors I can continue to improve and move forwards with my writing abilities.

The discussion assignments between week 4 and week 7 have taught me to view my work in a much more meticulous way than ever before. In activity 4.1, I realized through my colleagues post that the most abrasive or controversial argument is not the most effective, and in my reply I had mentioned the gratitude I had for her insight that inspired a shift in perspective. This in turn, effected how I wrote my thesis in my introductory paragraph; incidentally, I was not successful, because I did not apply what I had learned correctly. Nevertheless, the lesson I learned from both my colleague as well as my introductory paragraph have made me a better writer, because now I approach my writing with the reminder of stating what will be discussed without

This essay was a lot of fun and it was interesting how I sort of extended towards only one major point of my last essay. I hope you have fun reading this, and this time I promise you’ll get the

The meeting was before our Purpose and Bliss paper was due, so I talked to him about how challenging this assignment was. I’m only in my first year of college, I have no clue what my purpose is or what drives me. He challenged me to really consider why I’m in college and what I hope to do with my degree and how I hope for it to influence my art. He also helped me to understand that it is okay that I’m not sure what

Firstly, emotions are extremely overpowering. No matter how insensitive someone is, the right emotion can easily overcome them. Emotions are the core of what makes up a human. In fact, decisions are 80 to 90 percent emotion-based. So, what an individual does depends on what mood one is in or how one is feeling. For example, if an individual is angry at a friend, because that anger, the individual will most likely choose to ignore that friend. The emotion, anger, influenced the choice to ignore the friend. The anger is too overbearing to ignore. In difficult situations, one will always go back to what feels “right”. Emotion will overpower logic. Abortion, for example, may not be what feels "right", the decision to abort may be a logical choice for someone. But, there could be a nagging sense of wrongness that comes with abortion, and one could decide not to choose abortion because it may feel morally wrong. Therefore, emotion will overpower

Emotions are the spark of inspiration to create goals and can often help achieve them. At the same time rational thinking allows for the goal to be seen clearly and can help achieve the goal. Intertwining emotion and logic allows for people to make better decisions by weighing both sides to determine a form of action. Overall, this combination increases empathy.

Intro: After completing ENGL 1101, I expected ENGL 1102 to be the completed painting. In English 1101, we started mixing the paints for our canvas and entering English 1102 was the time where we took our brushes and made our artwork. In English 1102, I figured we would learn new methods, tools, and techniques that would improve our writing skills and abilities. My expectations have been exceeding in so many ways. From our first paper, it made me learn that nothing is given. You consistently gave us essay that question the most important question. Is everything given or is it earned? Truthfully, I thought that took guts to challenge us with a essay that made us almost doubt ourselves. I see know that paper was designed to make us know we need

I am ashamed. I never realized that I was such a bad person. I have sinned against my

Hi Shanice, 24 I do hope that you will ask for help. If you do not have much exposure to the Humanities, this can be a confusing class. You might also not answer the right questions. We have some funny ways of asking things that might not be obvious. My announcements often address sections were I see students getting stuck in this class or places where they don't really seem to understand what we are trying to get at. From the looks of your post, you seem to be addressing each question in its own section. I really like this as it clearly shows your thoughts for each question. Posted on time! 15.3 You have a great possitive response to Becka. Possitive post can help your peers with confidence. You will need to address the discussion questions though for

Ever since I started extemporaneous speaking for speech and debate, my whole analytical out view has changed. I believe that speech has helped me form better arguments in my paper. I am also proud of my conclusion paragraph because we were able to use first person. My first person account related to the topic well and helped cement my voice as a writer. My development of ideas and language could improve. Both aspect of writing just need a little boost to reach higher sophistication. Finally, my organization of this paper wasn’t the best. In my Poe paragraph, I back tracked on events which made it confusing for the reader. When setting up my next paper, I will be more cognizant of organization. Then there’s my old nemesis, conventions. My conventions use has improved since the beginning of the year, but I still have a long way to go. I think that just meeting with you Ms. Phillips will help me to fix my MUGS errors. All in all, I am very proud of this paper. Not only because it was the first “training wheels off paper” but because I used you, Ms. Phillips, as a resource as well. My analysis in papers have greatly improved and my voice is stronger than ever. I will continue to manage my time in addition to using you as a resource to improve results for the next

For many people, they live their lives based on emotions. Emotions of happiness, love, success, and many more, could possibly be the most satisfying feelings. Except we commonly experience unpleasant emotions. There are emotions of anger, hatred, sadness, and disgrace. A very important question in the understanding of the human mind and highly related to cognitive science, is how do these emotions affect human cognition and the impact on our abilities to be rational? To tackle this question, we need to understand what emotions are, but not solely in the manner we are all familiar with, we need to understand them from a cognitive nature involving our physiology, psychology, and environment. Cognition, according to the Oxford definition
