Diffrent words with diffrent meanings by Group 5 !!!

Salam to everyone.

We don’t know how to start.. So let’s begin with some craps. hehe. We think everyone has already known why we have to write this blog? It is because we can’t answer the question that Miss Peesha given to us!! Haha.. Serve our rite! We are wondering , how if we couldn’t answer 5 questions, that’s mean we have to write 5 essays!! Could we? Haha.

So, the latest ‘assignment’ is the differences between FEELINGS and EMOTION. Quite similar right ? But there have several differences between them. Be patient to read!!!

Feelings are closer to sensory stimulation. That’s mean if you touch something, you feel it and that is a fast reaction.Therefore feelings are faster than emotions and thought, because when you touch something there is a slight delay before you can think of something about it (thought). Emotion is therefore just unconscious thought. Actually it would better be described as unconscious feeling.

So, the important points are feelings are conscious thought and emotion is unconscious feeling.

You can recognize any feeling. If you are sad that is a feeling, but if you are depressed that isn’t a feeling, it is more like an emotion.

Confusing??? Hoho.. We provide you an example :

You can’t identify why you are depressed but you can usually identify why you are sad. Feelings are more immediate, if something happens or is happening, it is going to result in a feeling. But emotions are unconscious feelings that are the result of unconscious thoughts.

Feelings are easier to identify because they are faster. But an emotion might be a deeper experience because it might affect more of you, but that is only because it is mixed into the rest of your system. That is, a depression affects more of you than just an isolated feeling of sadness.

Understood?

In other words, people can only have a few feelings at a time, but they can have many emotions at the same time. Emotions are mixed in, but to feel something you have to be able to identify what it is or it is going to be so intense that you would be able to identify what it is. Emotions just feel deeper because it is all your feelings being affected at once.

Emotion is a reaction about someone or something, and usually involving our ego. We are angry about someone, afraid of something, in love with someone. These emotions may be directly felt in the body or we may just react strongly with thoughts or verbal displays originating from our head.

For example, if you have been often ignored by others as a child or not shown love by your parents and so on, then there is the inevitable thinking that you are separate and different from others.

However, feelings are a direct result of the current situation. If you gain attention and approval from someone, you will feel pleasure, joy, and happiness. If you are alone for a while, you will start to feel lonely. If someone tells you they do not like you, you will feel rejected and disapproved of. The situation exists and we feel a sensation that is connected with it.

Thus, we can conclude that feelings and emotion is a different word with a different meaning. We hope that we can make people understand what we are trying to explain.

P/S : can’t wait to have a new assignment :-P
