To what extent do emotions color our perceptions?
Emotions is a feeling or mood. It can bring us positivity or negativity in our lives, therefore it can clearly influence our perception. Without emotions situations would not have any meaning in our lives. From watching videos or listening to a musical piece, one can receive emotions from the tones, rhythmic styles, imagery, ideas, lyrics, words, etc, that color our perceptions of life.
Is ethics a matter of the heart or head?
How do emotions contribute to our decision making?
Ethics is a matter of both. Both must be in sync with each other, albeit the head is many a times influenced by the heart. Your heart has to accept before the head follows to lead to the moral principles that one follows. Emotions control our decision making process. A song, photograph or video can encourage a certain emotion and change our decisions. When one is feeling happy, their decision can be perceived "more positive". For example, if a student need extra time on a homework assignment and the teacher is in a good mood, then the teacher would be more lenient in allowing the student the extra time.
This video is about discovering the answer to which why adults too watch
Adventure Time which is a popular animated kids show on Cartoon Network. Perhaps the reason is because the show 'taps into our memories of childhood with nostalgia,' with the right emotions and episodes.
What role does passion play in an artists’ or authors work?
The more intense the passion of the artist is or author has for their work, the greater the emotions will be exhibited. If one has much passion in a work of art, the viewer will also be able to see and feel this passion. Perhaps the lyrics of a song becomes even better when the person singing it puts in the right emotions and shares it with the listeners.
