Blogpost #2: Science Behind Love and Emotions

"Love" different people have different meanings for love some say Love hurts, some say love is sweet, and some say this is the most powerful feeling in the world. I've had my fair share of experience when talking about love had my ups and downs but all I can say is in Love nothing is impossible, because love can make you better or make you worse. 

I had a research about science behind love and emotion, some of us believes that science explain everything. So I decided to research how science explain love and feelings.

According to The Science of Love by Helen Fisher of from University in the States Psychologists says that there are 90 second and 4 minutes to know that you deeply like someone. This article says that 55% on how a person falls in love is through body language, 38% from the tone and speed of the voice and 7% through what they say. I think that falling in love depends on what others would say words are very powerful and so is love. We don't need explanations and measurements in love because everything can happen nothing is impossible with love. This article also explains how a human falls in love what factors are responsible for having or feeling love. They say that there are three stages in love lust, attraction and attachment. This is what they say but from my own perspective I believe that love just happens it does not have any stages or steps needed it depends on the person on how or why he/she loves a person there is no scientific explanation for it.

According to Helen Fisher York “Psychologist, Professor Arthur Arun, has been studying why people fall in love. He asked his subjects to carry out the above 3 steps and found that many of his couples felt deeply attracted after the 34 minute experiment. Two of his subjects later got married.”

In this statement Helen Fisher says that Professor Arthur Arun did an experiment about people how do they fall in love.  If two out of three of his subjects fell in love with each other his theory must be true but I don't think falling in live has specific conditions I think it depends upon the person if he or she will fall in love.

I also read about perspective of love and science the article entitled Your Brain in Love  by Mark Fischetti, clearly states that doctors have discovered that a person who feels love any kind of love produces certain chemicals. They have compared the MRI studies of those who are experiencing any kind of love and to those who don't. They may cure a person who is severely depressed by being heartbroken by changing the chemicals.

According to Mark Fischetti “Neuro ­transmitters and other chemicals in the brain and blood that prompt greater euphoric sensations such as attraction and pleasure.”

In my own understanding neurotransmitters give the sensations or feelings we get when things happen such as sadness happiness and different kinds of emotions I agree to that because the brain first before the heart.  

Blogpost #1: Feeling and Emotions

Good day I’m Renelyn Palafox taking up Multimedia Arts in Asia Pacific College. This is my first time to write a blog and decided to search about Feeling and Emotions. As an artist we express our feeling and emotion on our art work. Each art works have meaning, you cannot see the true essence of a work until you know the true emotion within. 

             Emotions play important role in our daily lives. We make our decision based on our feeling and emotion, when we are happy our decision has positive feedback, but when were sad our decision make worse because our mind were not working properly.

color of the surrounding depend of your emotion

After searching on the internet I found an article entitled “Ariana, Goddess of Colours and Emotions” by storycat12 , Ariana is the Goddess of Colors and Emotions. Aphrodite gave Ariana her name which means "Holy" she gave that name to her because she felt that Ariana was holy and a gift from the fates. In the beginning, Ariana was very strange at that time but as she grew older she revealed her true powers. The colors of the surrounding depend on Ariana’s feelings; if Ariana is mourning the bright color turns dark. In my own perspective if the feelings of Ariana can see in the colors of surrounding, then we people can see the true feeling or emotions in our eyes because eyes are the windows in to our souls.

According to storycat12 “A man grieving then loss of his wife. She kneeled before him and mourned with him. Miles away, the happy green turned to a sharp forest green. The bright yellow turned black, and every other happy color turned dark, as Ariana mourned.”

In this statement says that if Ariana is happy the color of the surrounding turns bright, and if she’s mourning it turns dark. In short the color of the surrounding depends on the feeling of Ariana.

           I also read an article entitled "Exoression of Emotions" by Kendra Cherry. She states there that you need energy to understand things better. She also state that there are different ways of emotions, the verbal and non-verbal. Verbal is how you express what you feel through speaking while non-verbal are emotions you kept inside like love, anger and happiness but you express it through facial expression.  She also states that there are six Happiness, Surprise, Sadness, Anger, Disgust, Fear.

According to Kendra Cherry “In his 1872 book The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals, famed naturalist Charles Darwin argued that human expressions of emotion were both innate and universal across cultures. Researcher and emotion expert Paul Eckman has found that, for the most part, the facial expressions used to convey the basic emotions tend to be the same across cultures.”  

Charles Darwin who is a naturalist who says that emotions or facial expressions are the same even in different cultures and Paul Eckman supported and proved this. In my perspective I don't think that if we have different cultures we would have different facial expressions we are all people we have feelings and emotions we only differ in our ways or our culture.

To sum it all, we cannot hide what we feel especially if we are hurt so much. Feelings are expressed physically like facial expression, faster heartbeat, and behaviors such as aggression, crying, or covering the face with hands. We act out what we feel even if we hide it from others. But not all feelings are physical there are also feelings that is kept inside like anger.
