Touching other people’s belongings Touching other people’s belongings or property without their knowledge or ascent is described as stealing, which is not only a criminal offence but also unethical. The unethical component of touching other people’s property makes it immoral and can hurt the victim. Touching other people’s property is disrespectful to the owner and the victim. Since the thief does not seek the consent of the owner or the victim, the experience devalues the individual. The property being stolen, therefore, is made to look more relevant or valuable than the person, and therefore it makes the victim feel devalued. Secondly, touching other people’s property without their consent harms then not only economically but also emotionally (Faillo, Rizzolli & Tontrup, 2019). When a property is taken away from the owner, the economic value of the property is taken away. The owner suffers a loss, no matter how it seems small or invaluable. Since touching people’s property always take away what is owned by the owner, the loss suffered can have a psychological effect. From a criminal and legal perspective, touching other…

                        Effect of Inequality on Emotions Social and economic inequalities experienced in our societies have a lasting impact on people’s emotions that influence the way we think, feel, and react to our social environment and critical aspects of our social behavior. These inequalities may be presented in different forms including, the racial inequality that involves people being treated based on their race, gender inequality that involves treating people based on their sexual orientation, or political inequality where people’s ability to access resources is based on their political affiliations. Regardless of forms of inequalities experienced in society, it significantly creates lasting emotional effects on both the oppressed and the oppressor. These emotions may include anger, disgust, shame, contempt, compassion, praise, or empathy. Citing examples from Albert Memmi’s book “The Colonizer and The Colonized,” that comprehensively explores the lives of colonizers and the colonized during the colonial regime in Algeria. It is evident that oppressed and the oppressors emotionally reacted differently towards the social and economic inequalities that marked the Fresh…

Motivation and Emotion The Key Concepts of Motivation and Emotion. Sometimes when engaging in an activity, there is always a feeling (urge) that drives the body and energizes the mind towards accomplishing that particular task. This feeling is motivation. Motivation appertains to a set of factors that direct, activate, and maintain the human mind and behavior towards achieving a specific goal (Huffman, Dowdell & Sanderson, 2017). However, the human mind and psychology are prone to subjective responses in the process. The responses are emotions (Huffman, Dowdell & Sanderson, 2017). Emotions include behaviors expressed, the feelings of arousal or urge, and cognitions. Theories of Motivation and Emotion First, motivation may result from innate instincts in living organisms.  Motivation will begin with a biological need or lack. The need will then trigger an urge which shall influence behavior towards satisfying that particular need (Huffman, Dowdell & Sanderson, 2017). Therefore, all organisms are motivated to attain and sustain optimal levels of arousal.  Psychologically, motivation is highly influenced by incentives. External stimuli attract or push people to or from their desired goals (Huffman, Dowdell…

Me, my mother, and my emotions!   Sometimes it is tough to share how bad it feels when you miss someone who has been with you always. I am feeling insomniac as I am missing my mom so much. I never realized that everything would be going to change, just in the blink of an eye! We’re acting as a shield for each other at one time, but at the same time, we feel so vulnerable that why didn’t we do the best for them. In this bustling schedule of my life, it’s not that I communicate less to my mom. She is my morning and, of course, a dessert before I go to sleep! Maybe i am getting too emotional at this moment because today she is not well, and it feels like I could have been there with her. I can’t put the feelings into words; my sunshine is 400km away from my city. I wish to see her and murmur in her ears that maa I am with you. I wouldn’t say I like this feeling of…

False memories: How emotional distracters affect recall and recognition False memory encompasses human recollections that are distorted from the event that actually took place, or fabricated entirely. These errors in memory can be thought of in two distinct categories: ‘commission’ and ‘omission’. Commission memory error refers to the creation, or ‘commission’, of a memory that did not actually occur, as opposed to ‘omission’ where a true memory is forgotten. The pioneering research of Bartlett (1932) suggested that an individual’s recollection of the past is  of past events is shaped by their own schemas and understandings of the present. This foundational hypothesis guided subsequent investigations in false memory  Understanding of false memories has practical applications in many sectors of society, as it has been in analysing false recollections of abuse that patients have formed in therapy (Roediger & McDermott, 1995). The foundation of empirical research into this phenomenon is often cited back to Bartlett (1932), whereby the recall of elements of a popular Indian folktale was warped with the cultural expectations of the British participants. Bartlett’s pioneering research suggests that an…

Gekker et al. Gekker et al. use logos to convince the audience through logic and reason. Gekker et al. use logos by citing statistics and respected authorities on the subject. For instance, Gekker et al. content analysis followed the semiotic square model pioneered by Greimas in 1974 and Clifford in 1988. Secondly, Gekker et al. used logos by presenting examples of YouTube channels, which the audience can verify. Finally, Gekker et al. use deductive reasoning to pick apart evidence from the large volume of content examined to reach their conclusion. Gekker et al. used pathos the least out of the three modes to persuade the audience. Gekker et al. study is relatively objective and unbiased. Gekker et al. are reporting on an issue rather than calling for action from the audience. Therefore, Gekker et al. mainly focus on using ethos and logos to present their findings. Finally, the influencer techniques used by Gekker et al. to persuade the audience includes logic, emotions, proofs and results, and authority. The main goal of the Slicing BreadTube research study was to establish the definition…

Maturity is not merely biological; it is also intellectual, emotional, and relational. Thus, restrictions to free speech and free thought on college and university campuses stunt growth in the latter three areas at a time in young peoples’ lives when these areas are most in need of developing effectively.    Introduction College and university campuses are diverse places where all types of people meet for academic purposes. However, apart from academic credits, one can learn a lot of things in higher learning institutions. Most colleges and universities admit students that have different social backgrounds, different sexual orientations, different races, genders, and even religions. All this diversity is a learning ground where one can learn of different cultures and how they run their affairs.  As such this contributes to the relational, intellectual and emotional growth of the students as they learn how to interact with different people. Furthermore, this is the most suitable age for students to grow intellectually in readiness for the career world which demands a lot of intellectual, emotional and relational maturity. However, that outside-classroom learning experience would be…

Emotional quotient Emotional quotient, also known as emotional intelligence, is the individual’s capability to express, interpret, handle and persevere with intrapersonal and interpersonal emotions of others. It is also defined as the ability of an individual to positively respond to various emotions arising from the inner self or the immediate surroundings. Issues associated with low emotional quotient Emotionally immature employees tend to be counter-productive to the goals of the institutions employing them. The low emotional quotient can be manifested in several ways—first, poor impulse control. Characteristics of poor impulse control might be displayed in an employee who instantly reacts to different situations without a well thought out plan of how one might deal with the aftermath of their actions. Second, difficulty in managing stressful situations. The inability of employees to handle stressful situations in a careful manner can cause immerse havoc to the organization: third, poor emotional understanding and irrational thinking. Emotions need to be internalized first. If not, the normal operations of the institution will be affected too. Forth, damaged credibility. All players, including employees and customers, can lose…
