music personality sound waves emotions

  • 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.

  • "Envy" and "jealousy" are often used interchangeably, but in correct usage, both words stand for two different distinct emotions. In proper usage, jealousy is the fear of losing something that one possesses to another person (a loved one in the prototypical form), while envy is the pain or frustration caused by another person having something that one does not have oneself.

      Marlene EWSIS on 09 Dec 09

    "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.

    I'm learning more about envy right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is "How does envy affect people lives". I was searching this question online and this poem caught my attention because it explains exactly one reaction that envy can cause on people. "When the poison reaches the heart it's too late. Disastrous emotions take over such as revenge and hate." The quote I chose here is basically saying that envy cause people to get their emotions mixed up leading them to do the wrong thing. It also cause people to take revenge and do something they'll regret later on. I think this is correct because that how people react with envy. Not everyone reacts like that but most of them do.

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].
    • Christos EWSIS
      Christos EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
       
      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].
    • Christos EWSIS
      Christos EWSIS on 15 Dec 09
       
      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

    I came across another piece of information a couple of days later which dealt with more theories of why people love to watch horror films. This news article titled "Why Do People Love Horror Movies? They Enjoyed Being Scared" by ScienceDaily states that new research suggests "horror movie viewers are happy to be unhappy." Investigators generally use one of two theories to explain why people like horror movies. The first is that the person is not actually afraid, but excited by the movie. The second explanation is that they are willing to endure the terror in order to enjoy a euphoric sense of relief at the end. However researchers Eduardo Andrade and Joel B. Cohen have argued that those two theories are incorrect. Horror movie viewers are happy to unhappy because in their book, their "novel approach to emotion reveals that people experience both negative and positive emotions simultaneously -- people may actually enjoy being scared, not just relief when the threat is removed. As the authors put it, "the most pleasant moments of a particular event may also be the most fearful."

I was researching this question onine, and this blog "Borderline Personality Disorder and The Fake" caught my attention because the title attracted me and my problem is somewhat related to that title, so I think it should answer my questions.

My favorite quote in this blog is "the truth is, most people with this disorder are smart, and they can really be very funny." This quote I chose here is basically saying that people who cannot easily control their emotions actually always look funny and they are always very smart.

I always look very funny, and maybe most people think I'm smart, which isn't exactly true... but anyways, actually I'm also easy to feel lonely and I always feel that I have some sort of inner disorder or something like that, though I don't really show that on my face, so people cannot really tell. I just don't want people to think that the thing I'm annoyed with is very silly and insignificant. Yet I believe that most people always get angry at very little things, but sometimes things have different meanings to different people, so something may be insignificant to someone, but it may also be very paramount to another. Nevertheless, I have to admit that when I get annoyed with something or someone, I usually just pretend nothing has happened. And the same with things that frustrate me. I would always try to look happy and funny even if I was very depressed. Anyways I believe that it's something that most people do in this society, so it's not rea

I was researching this question online and this blog post caught my attention because of the title. The title is Divorce=Insomnia. That means it could be a cause of insomnia. I don't know the answer, but I know this,, I ain't sleeping well at all since I've moved. Maybe, it's unfamiliar territory, maybe it's the divorce, maybe it's too much therapy too quickly,, The quote I chose here is basically saying that he might have insomnia because of the unfamiliar territory, divorce, or too much therapy. I think this is great because it makes me wonder that other emotional problems may cause insomnia like death or something. I do know that stress causes it most of the time, but maybe moving causes it?

Double personality

shared by Tian EWSIS on 31 Oct 09 - Cached
  • Tian EWSIS on 31 Oct 09
     
    Everyone has different personalities from each other. Some people are outgoing, while some people are shy. I think gregarious people always like to hang out with a large group so that they are usually afraid of loneliness, while shy or introverted people usually are affected less by loneliness. Moreover, what I'm wondering particularly is whether it's normal that a person has a double personality. One sentence that stood out for me in this blog was: "We all have both, the Devil and the God within us.the frustration that builds up, brings out the devil in you. He is the one who makes you unhappy, feel alone, lonely and tells you how sad a person you are.That is the time you feel the need of " a someone" to talk to, to shout at, to get your frustration out…then you try to look back in time ….happier times….sad times…time spent…life lived …which makes you sulk even more. On the other hand, the God within makes you a confident cool dude…be a charming person, people enjoy your company at the time you are smiling, making others smile…you are vibrant with positive energy. The God within makes you feel good about yourself, be at peace with the world around, the work you do in the day, enjoy the daily routine…spend the day without a fuss, any argument …and in the end, gift you a night, well slept." Thus, I believe that everyone has a double personality and sometimes it really affected our daily lives. Some people have told me that I'm very capricious and I also feel the same way actually. I can be very hilarious for a moment and become very impassive in another minute. I was definitely not as impassive as I look at that time and I absolutely don't have emotional problems, yet sometimes it just makes me look really whimsical. Perhaps it's just one of my personalities.

    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

  • 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.

  • 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]

  • 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.

  • The nature of nursing means that nursing ethics tends to examine the ethics of caring rather than 'curing' by exploring the relationship between the nurse and the person in care.

      What this is saying is becoming a nurse instead of curing for the person you have to care for them.
  • The focus of nursing ethics is on developing a caring relationship

      This is important because, if the nurses don't care then in my opinon i don't think that they will pick this career choice. Also if you don't have a caring relationship then, the patients won't really open up to their nurses.
  • This is where information about the person is only shared with others after permission of the person, unless it is felt that the information must be shared to comply with a higher duty such as preserving life. [5].

      I think that this is interesting because, i wonder if nurses do talk about the patients business. If i were a nurses patients i wouldn't want them telling my business unless it was necessary.

  • Nursing ethics shares many principles with medical ethics, such as beneficence, non-maleficence and respect for autonomy

      I wonder why some nurses sret up a list of laws for themselves? Aren't they given a set of rules or laws already?!
  • This is considered by its advocates to focus more on relationships than principles and therefore to reflect the caring relationship in nursing more accurately than other ethical views.
    • Rachel EWSIS
      Rachel EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
       
      I think caring about the relationships more than the principles is good because, the principles don't get you to a point where you could bound with the person and in my opinion i think that being a nurse you connect with the person on a professsional and emotional level.
  • People are then enabled to make decisions about their own treatment.
    • Rachel EWSIS
      Rachel EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
       
      I think that it's important for people to make their own decisions wether or not they want the treatment because, what if their family doesn't have enough mom to pay for it or they on't have insurance. Usually depending upon the situation like lets say if it's really bad then the person won't take the treatment if they are close to dying.
  • There is a balance between people having the information required to make an autonomous decision and, on the other hand, not being unnecessarily distressed by the truth.

      I wonder why sometimes people aren't able to handle tghe trhuth when they hear bad news about their health?!
  • This is because nursing theory seeks a collaborative relationship with the person in care.

  • Each sign is associated with one of the classical elements (fire, earth, air, or water) and one of the three qualities or modalities (cardinal, fixed, or mutable). It is also associated with an area of concern: personal, social, or universal.

      Just a little information on aspects in personality that are affected by the ideas in astrology. For example, concerns that you might have under a certain sign.
  • Each sign is associated one of the classical elements (water, fire, earth and air.) [3] Fire and Air signs are positive or extrovert, masculine signs; while Water and Earth signs are negative, introvert, feminine signs.

      I wonder how they formed decided these ideas regarding the elements?
  • A common feature of all three traditions however, is the significance of the ascendant or rising sign, namely the zodiac sign that is rising (due to the rotation of the earth) on the eastern horizon at the moment of a person's birth.

  • According to astrology, celestial phenomena reflect or govern human activity on the principle of "as above, so below", so that the twelve signs are held to represent twelve basic personality types or characteristic modes of expression.
    • Veronica EWSIS

      This is important because it gives information on where these ideas come from. With this I could probably dig deeper into the history of astrology to find out more.
  • Personal Signs - Aries, Taurus, Gemini, and Cancer - are principally aware of and concerned with individual concerns. Interpersonal Signs - Leo, Virgo, Libra, and Scorpio - are principally aware of and concerned with social and societal concerns. Transpersonal Signs - Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces - are principally aware of and concerned with humanitarian and existential concerns.

      I wonder if I could interview people to compare how accurate these descriptions are.
  • Wood and Metal are elements alongside Earth, Fire and Water. In addition, the elements also govern various aspects of one's personality, and are assigned to various other things such as directions (North, South, East and West), colours, seasons and planets.

      There are five elements that govern a person's characteristics, interests, lucky colors, etc, in Chinese astrology.
  • Unlike the Western or Indian zodiacs, the Chinese zodiac signs are not derived from constellations, and are not assigned to sections of the ecliptic. Instead, Chinese astrological signs operate on cycles of years, lunar months, and two-hour periods of the day (also known as shichen).

      This shows why Chinese astrology differs so much from Western and Indian astrology.
  • Metal: The metal person is rigid and resolute in expression and intense, with strong feelings. The direction associated with Metal is West, and the season is autumn, which makes it the fixed element for the animal signs Monkey, Rooster and Dog. Water: The water person is a good communicator and persuader, intuitive and sympathetic to others and good at conveying feelings and emotions. The direction associated with Water is North, and the season is winter, which makes it the fixed element for the animal signs Pig, Rat and Ox. Wood: The wood person has high morals, is self confident, expansive and co-operative, with wide and varied interests. The direction associated with Wood is East, and the season is spring, which makes it the fixed element for the animal signs Tiger, Rabbit and Dragon. Fire: The fire person has leadership qualities, and is decisive, self confident, positive and assertive. The direction associated with Fire is South, and the season is summer, which makes it the fixed element for the animal signs Snake, Horse and Sheep. Earth: The earth person is functional, practical, solid, reliable, organized and methodical. The direction associated with Earth is the Centre. Some Chinese astrologers associate Earth with late summer.

      I know that Chinese astrological signs have counterparts in Western astrology. So, I'm wondering how the traits of the Chinese signs compare to their Western counterparts.
  • These are known as Exaltation (see below), Triplicity , Terms or bounds, and Face or Decan , which together are known as describing a planet's Essential dignity, the quality or ability to give of one's true nature.

      This is important because now I have some traits and times that I can compare with a person's actual personality at that time.

  • Dreams are a succession of images, thoughts, sounds, or emotions passing through the mind during sleep.[1]

      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.

      Wow I like that idea. I like it when the rabbi would give bad or disturbing dreams a positive look at it. So I guess when that happens, you won't feel terrified from the bad dreams you had.
