AOK religion

Some people express their love to God through

emotions. Like for example people who do Umra express
their thankfulness to God by crying which is emotion
without having control on. And some people express their
need to God by crying while crying thinking that God
would accept their prays faster where this is related to
reason. Some people cry unintentionally while praying
because of the feeling of safety while they are mentally
with God. In many cases, religious change consisted of or
was proven by emotional transformations: conversions
required changes in feeling as well as apprehension of
doctrine. Missionary work, revival movements and the
birth of new traditions were all mediated by emotional
practices.

Emotion through language

Emotion and language are kind of integrated since

people express their emotions through language. Some
people express anger by cursing or screaming or
whatever. Whereas some people express their happiness
by using language and sense perception by saying how
happy they are due to reasoning but at the end of the day
the person has used language to express emotions since
some people love to let other people know what emotions
they are feeling even though some people would like to
keep it personal. Usually all people express for example
envy and sadness by language where they are not in
control of such emotions. Some people dont know how to
express their emotions due to mixed
emotions.Sometimes asking people about their emotions
triggers them to express themselves.

Is emotion physical?
Some internal changes of the body are controlled by
emotions such as heart rate and blood pressure. So
emotions are controlled by our physical state such as our
biochemical balance. Even our health is controlled by our
emotions. Researching into the chemical balance of your
body, leads to the physiology of emotion. This is why a
psychiatrist gives a chemical medicine to people who are
emotionally sick. But still until today, not all emotional
states are treated with medicine such as shyness where a
psychiatrist cannot give a pill to a human to make him
not shy.

Emotion and cultural self

There are things called high arousal positive state
where like for example, the American culture values and
emphasizes enthusiasm and excitement much more the
Chinese culture. Whereas the Chinese culture values calm
a serenity which is called low arousal positive state.
Another example is the popularity of Starbucks in
different places. Where in the US its the highest since the
expression of the workers makes the consumer want to
buy more Starbucks. Whereas some workers are bi-
cultural such as Chinese-Americans that show excitement
and serenity at the same time.In conclusion some
emotions are controlled by our cultures whereas some
people act like they were raised in their homes. This
shows the difference between how peoples related to
certain cultures react. Where each person in a different
culture has been exposed to different experiences like for
example a Palestinian kid who has been living under the
Israeli forces has not the same emotions as an American
spoiled kid who has been living freely since he was born.
