Written Paragraph
to be turned during class:
You've had the opportunity to think about emotional experience from an
evolutionary perspective, hear the types of questions researchers ask
and answer in this area, and even explore some of the unique findings.
In this assignment I want you to think about the following three
emotions: Love, Pride, Shame. The Evolutionary perspective argues
that emotions, if evolved, will be functionally adaptive -- that is good
for survival. For each of the above emotions create a cogent
argument for a possible 'functionality' for each of the above emotions.
That is, in what way -- during evolution -- would this emotion
possibly have aided survival/ procreation and therefore have
survived. Type your response, keep it to one page or less.
Feelings are not
supposed to be rational. Dangerous is the [person] who has rationalized
his emotions.
