  • Kendall Walton argues (also with respect to tragedy) that sadness is not in itself negative. Rather, it is the situation to which sadness is the response that is negative.

      so true..so true...
  • One obvious suggestion is that our negative emotional response is a price we are willing to pay for the other benefits of engaging with the piece in question, such as (but not limited to) ‘positive’ emotional responses. While this sort of reasoning may play a role, it cannot be a complete solution, since for most pieces that elicit negative responses there are many others that elicit fewer, or less intense negative responses for the same positive payoff. More sophisticated versions of the same suggestion argue for a more intimate link between the negative emotional response and the payoff.

      So, emotions are neither positive or negative. This goes to show are ignorant people could be on terms such as this one.
  • This is decisive if true, but there is plenty of room to quibble about our ability to test for the right kinds of imaginative activity, the selection of the subjects, and so on. A different kind of objection is that if the persona theory were true, expressive music could not constrain our imaginative activity in such a way as to yield convergent judgments of expressiveness among understanding listeners.

  • The resemblance theorist must give some account of why the funeral march, and not the cup of coffee, is expressive of sadness, and not joy. Levinson claims that the obvious suggestion here is that the funeral march is ‘readily-hearable-as’ an expression of sadness. If this is correct, then the resemblance the music bears to emotional behavior is logically secondary — a cause or ground of its expressivity. The expressivity itself resides in the music's disposition to elicit the imaginative response in us of hearing the music as a literal expression of emotion. As a logical consequence, the imaginative experience prompted must include some agent whose expression the music literally is.

      The type of music that you listen to doesn't change who you really are, alll it changes is how you feel for a period of time.
  • We say that a piece of music is sad in the same sense in which we say that a weeping willow is sad (S. Davies 2006, 183). Such uses are no more metaphorical than a claim that a chair has arms.

  • The central problem is the great disparities between language and music, in terms of the ways in which each is both syntactic and semantic.

    This is important because it tells me about what music does and why it causes such emotions like happiness and anger. Knowing what sound waves trigger certain emotions and the effects it had on the human body

Personality Development: Avoid Emotional Responses - 0 views

    "Many times, as you listen, it is difficult to control you emotional responses to the speaker's message. Each of us has a list of words that trigger emotional responses - whether positive or negative. At times you will need to separate facts from the opinions of those who are speaking to you. This is called critical listening." I think it's very true that we need to " separate facts from the opinions of those who are speaking to " or "evaluate each message by deciding what is fact and what is opinion." However, when things happen, it's always hard to do. We are habitual putting our own opinions into facts when other people are speaking us. I think we haven't realized this problem or we don't see any problem with doing this. Yet, inserting our own opinions into the real facts may twists the truth, or even bring trouble to people or ourselves. Maybe I'm just exaggerating it, yet my experience told me we better realize this issue and try to change this bad habit.

shared by Christos EWSIS on 09 Dec 09 - Cached
  • Irrationality is cognition, thinking, talking or acting without inclusion of rationality.
  • The term is used, usually pejoratively, to describe thinking and actions that are, or appear to be, less useful or illogical than other more rational alternatives.
    • Christos EWSIS
      Christos EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
       
      Irrationality is doing something without rationality, without reason or any logic behind it.
  • people fail to realize the irrationality of their actions and believe they are acting perfectly rational, possibly due to flaws in their reasoning

      I thinl this is very important bacause it is a big reason why peopl are stupid/irrational.
  • Irrational is not always viewed as a negative. The Dada and Surrealist art movements, for example, embraced irrationality as a means to "reject reason and logic". Andre Breton, for example, argued for a rejection of pure logic and reason which are seen as responsible for many contemporary social problems [1].

      Being irrational is not always bad, its just when it is the wroung reason for irrationality, sometime you need irrationality, it could help you think a little differenter.
  • Irrationalist is a wide term. It may be applied to mean one without rationality, for their beliefs or ideas. Or, more precisely, it may mean someone who rejects some aspect of rationalism, variously defined. For example religious faith may be seen as, in part, a rejection of complete rationalism about the world; this would be contested by some religious thinkers, in that the rational is a debatable term. On the other hand, it might be considered irrationalist to buy a lottery ticket, on the basis that the expected value is negative.
    • Christos EWSIS
      Christos EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
       
      This paragraph is important because it touches a little more on irrationality, like the example they give.
  • Irrational behaviors of individuals include taking offense or becoming angry about a situation that has not yet occurred, expressing emotions exaggeratedly (such as crying hysterically), maintaining unrealistic expectations, engaging in irresponsible conduct such as problem intoxication, disorganization, or extravagance, and falling victim to confidence tricks. People with a mental illness like schizophrenia may exhibit irrational paranoia.
    • Christos EWSIS
      Christos EWSIS on 15 Dec 09
       
      I wonder if irrationality is really related to a mental disorder.
  • The term irrational is often used in psychotherapy and the concept of irrationality is especially known in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy originated and developed by American psychologist Albert Ellis. In this approach, the term irrational is used in a slightly different way than in general. Here irrationality is defined as the tendency and leaning that humans have to act, emote and think in ways that are inflexible, unrealistic, absolutist and most importantly self- and social-defeating and destructive[1].

      I think this is important because it shows how irrationality is used for psycotherapy
  • Irrational thought was seen in Europe as part of the reaction against Continental rationalism. For example Hamann is sometimes classified as an irrationalist.
  • In psychology, excessive rationality without creativity may be viewed as a form of self-control and protection

    The Main Street Pimp I remember walking down Main Street and seeing this man. He stood out from the rest of the people I saw everyday. He would wear these interesting outfits unlike anything I had ever seen except for maybe in the movies. I found out he was known as the Main Street Pimp. When the podcaster said "Where is the Main Street Pimp?" I started to think and realized I had not seen him in a while. I wondered what had happened to him. I always enjoyed seeing him it kind of made me smile because he loved to be different from everyone else. He always looked happy. When I found out that the the Main Street Pimp had "died from a brain tumor" I was really sad. I missed seeing him walk around Main Street. He really became part of flushing and he really helped make it unique. I understand now why he did the things he did since he had schizophrenia. Although he had this condition he seemed happy and upbeat. He never seemed to care about what other people had to say about him. I would always say hello to him and he would smile. I am always happy to see people that make the best of their situation. I think although you may have issues you should not just give up or hate life. You should always live life to it's fullest. All I have left to say is rest in peace Main Street Pimp. We miss you.

    What I noticed about, "Flushing Pimp" is how this man named Manuel was happy. He dressed very nice and always looked fresh. He stood out in crowded Main Street. There were people who admired him and people who ridiculed him, but no matter what, Manuel was happy. However, the Flushing Pimp has not been seen the in past year. Helen, Andrea, and Rayon try to learn more about him and search for him. They interview random people on Main Street. They told them about how unique Manuel dressed and how he stood out in the crowd. They also did not see the Flushing Pimp and wondered what ever happened to him. There were rumors that he died or went away somewhere, but Helen and her crew were determined to find out what happened. The crew went out to where Manuel used to live. They went inside the apartment building and rang the doorbell. A woman answered, however she didn't open the door fully. Her name was Caroline and she was the sister of Manuel. She talked for over an hour behind her door. When the crew asked where's Manuel, Caroline told them that he had died of cancer. Caroline said, "There were people who made fun of Manuel when he walked down the street, but he didn't care as he was just happy....He felt the need to look good." Caroline said that her brother suffered from a condition called schizophrenia. According to Google Health, "Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that makes it difficult to tell the difference between real and unreal experiences, to think logically, to have normal emotional responses, and to behave normally in social situations." Caroline's tone throughout the interviewed changed from despising her brother, to actually caring about him. She talked about how Manuel was suffering from cancer. When Manuel was in the hospital, he called Caroline to bring him home because he didn't want to feel miserable. Even though he was about to die, he lived his life to the fullest. He looked forward to what was ahead of him. It was tragic

Maturity (psychological) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

en.wikipedia.org/...Maturity_(psychological)
shared by Robin EWSIS on 09 Dec 09 - Cached
  • By this definition, how an individual feels about himself is no more legitimate than how others feel about him, and so it is important that this individual gains a certain level of maturity as he grows older to earn the respect of others. However, maturity need not reflect one's actions in a social situation among well-known peers, as in these situations there is no need to establish a sense of maturity as once maturity is established, it by no means has to be a norm. Furthermore, one need not establish maturity on how others view their personality, because a casual observer cannot totally judge someone he or she does not know on a personal level.

      I belive this is true because a lot of people gain respect on the level of their maturity. Another reason is that I also believe that the sense of maturity comes from within thyself
  • maturity is not determined by one's age.
    • Robin EWSIS
      Robin EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
       
      this is in my words because it is true maturity doesn't come from age and a lot of people don't accept that. It doesn't mean that i except this like if you're a 40 year old acting like 12 year old isn't right but you have to give the person time to grow
  • In fact, judge Julian Mack, who helped create the juvenile court system in the United States, said that juvenile justice was based on the belief that young people do not always make good decisions because they are not mature, but this means that they can be reformed more easily than adults.[2] However, the relationship between psychological maturity and age is a difficult one, especially when it comes to the law. Immaturity is often used to distinguish between adolescents and adults, and there has been much debate over how to tell if someone is mature, especially regarding social issues like abortion.[3]

  • However, for legal purposes, people are not considered psychologically mature enough to perform certain tasks (such as driving, consenting to sex, signing a binding contract or making medical decisions) until they have reached a certain age.

      My father also says this too. He says that im to young to drive and to worry about my school work and to keep in my studies. My mom is more protective than my dad she says that i don't need to be focusing on girls and other nonsense.
  • Maturity is a psychological term used to indicate that a person responds to the circumstances or environment in an appropriate and adaptive manner. This response is generally learned rather than instinctual, and is not determined by one's age. Maturity also encompasses being aware of the correct time and place to behave and knowing when to act with appropriate emotion for the situation.

  • Psychologist B.W. Roberts explains that in an explicit model of personality, one's personality must be viewed from both the perspective of the actor and the perspective of the observer. Therefore, one's maturity is not measured solely on introspection, but by how others view one's maturity as well, in a feedback loop.

      please help
  • Maturity is something of personal character, or how one acts in stressful or difficult situations, because then a person's true ability to react to a situation can be seen. Fake social interactions are often misjudged as many people rely on outward appearance to mask inner strengths/weaknesses so as to present a simpler version of oneself to the world.

      I find dreams to be very interesting and cool. Its like your in a movie or your watching a movie while sleeping.
  • Throughout history, people have sought meaning in dreams or divination through dreams.[citation needed] They have been described physiologically as a response to neural processes during sleep, psychologically as reflections of the subconscious, and spiritually as messages from gods or predictions of the future.

      Thats cool for some cultures to look at it that way that its a spiritual message from gods or predictions of the future. Sometimes I would have bad dreams and sometimes I would have good dreams. I wonder how my future will turn out to be.
  • Judaism has a traditional ceremony called "hatavat halom" – literally meaning making the dream a good one. Through this rite disturbing dreams can be transformed to give a positive interpretation by a rabbi or a rabbinic court.
