ReplyDeleteEmotions are so imperative in our daily lives. Every choice we make has a consequence and that could depend on how our emotions are. Like you mentioned that can be a positive or negative attribute. If something makes us feel bad then we will choose not to like that certain thing because of how we feel or if it is opposite because we feel good or think we like something that will make us be drawn to that topic at hand.
For example, like these social organizations we all analyzed, due to the topics we have learned and grown to be acquainted with and their meanings, we were able to detect when a certain group used appeal to emotion or pity. That is a good quality to have and be aware of because we have the foundations to help us analyze commercials, advertisements on tv, on websites. If only, more people in society were aware of this.
