post 1 Oct 1-7


Organismic view of emotions is when we feel emotion because external stimuli cause physiological changes in us. An example would be if you get a bad grade on an exam and it causes you have a knot in your back. I have a lot of back pain in class, it could have something to do with a philosophical changes. When I am really stressed my back tends to start hurting, maybe if I didn't stress so much I wouldn’t have back pains. Perceptional view of emotions is when we give a meaning to something that doesn’t usually have a meaning. Everyone has his or her own meaning to different things. For example a fist, when someone raises a fist at me I think they want to "pound it", which means that we touch fists. It also can mean that someone is ready to fight. When it becomes significant people give it a meaning.
