Weekly reflection:
In this class we spoke about different emotions and how emotions are purely a result of physical actions. However, at the same time this ideology initially given by James Lange can be challenged by presenting practical and logical counter arguments. one being that certain emotions are also created as a result of hormones and other external factors. We spoke about the various primary emotions along with the secondary emotions also know as social emotions. the main difference between the two is that primary emotions are to do with ones self. they originate independent of the surroundings. Where as secondary emotions start off or are triggered with the help of other factors as well.
